Mini Pendant Lights - An Introduction
August 28th, 2008 by admin
Pendant lighting is indeed the smaller version of the grandiose chandeliers – and it looks very much like a baby when placed beside other type of lighting fixtures in the same category. If the history accounts are right, mini pendant lights came to exist only as a functional substitute of the chandelier – although it was originally less detailed but with more or less the same features and functionality as the latter. In fact it derived its name from pendant, a jewelry accessory. Its history dates can be traced back to 2700 B.C. where it was said to have started with hanging lamps of clay with light given by an animal fat burn which was the way Greeks devised. As time passed, clay lamps were replaced by glass and in the 80s, European pendants began to appear with exclusive use of glass designs as pendants with attractive shades.
