Choosing the right bamboo pendant light can feel overwhelming with so many shapes, sizes, and styles available. This guide makes it simple — by the end, you'll know exactly which bamboo lamp is right for your space.

Step 1: Choose the Right Style

The style of your pendant should complement your room's overall design:

Dome/Bell shape: Timeless. Suits dining areas, traditional Indian interiors, and transitional spaces.
Drum/Cylinder: Modern and clean. Great for living rooms and contemporary apartments.
Globe/Ball: Cosy and café-inspired. Works in small nooks, reading corners, and balconies.
Conical/Cone: Directional light, minimal silhouette. Good for task lighting over a workspace or kitchen counter.

Step 2: Get the Size Right

This is the most common mistake buyers make. Here's the formula:

Over a dining table: Pendant diameter = table width × 0.5. E.g., 90cm table → 45cm pendant.
As a statement light: Room length + room width (in feet) = pendant diameter in inches. E.g., 12ft × 10ft room = 22-inch (56cm) pendant.
Hanging height: 65–75cm above dining table; 210–230cm above floor for walkthrough spaces.

Step 3: Check the Wiring

All our bamboo pendants come with CE-certified wiring, a standard E27 brass bulb holder, and plugs compatible with Indian electrical outlets. Installation requires a standard ceiling hook and is DIY-friendly — no electrician needed in most cases.

Step 4: Choose Your Bulb

Warm white (2700K): The classic choice. Makes bamboo look golden and beautiful.
Neutral white (3000K): Slightly brighter. Good for work areas.
Filament/Edison bulbs: Beautiful through bamboo weave, but check max wattage (typically 10W LED equivalent).

We recommend E27 LED bulbs at 5–7W. Never exceed the maximum wattage listed on the pendant.

Step 5: Care After Installation
