A pendant lamp, also known as a drop light, is a type of lighting fixture that hangs from the ceiling by a cord, chain, or metal rod. It typically features a single light source that is encased in a decorative shade, which can be made from a variety of materials such as glass, fabric, metal, or plastic. Pendant lamps are popular in both residential and commercial settings and are often used to add a stylish and functional element to a room's decor. They can be hung individually or in groups, and are commonly found in areas such as kitchens, dining rooms, living rooms, and entryways. The height of the pendant lamp can often be adjusted to fit the specific needs of the space and the desired aesthetic.
