20 Best Lighting For Vaulted Ceilings (2023 Updated)

Bought a pair of this pendant light and also a matching dining room ceiling light from James Allan. They look gorgeous. Overall very satisfied with them. Pros: The simple design matches our simplistic style of kitchen and the pattern on the cover added some nice vibe to the room.

Was a bit worried about whether they are too big (wide) but it turned out to look great after installation. Installation was easy. The different lengths of rods included are convenient for different ceiling heights.

Cons: The inside of the metal cover is not as polished as the outside. If you are down and close to the light, you could notice the contrast. If you install the lights low enough you may not notice it.

But I like the lights a bit higher so that makes the contrast more obvious.

I LOVE this artistic chandelier, but there are definitely some negatives: It is very hard to put up. It took 2 non electricians all day. Once it is up, the glass appears more clear with brown swirls which is different than this picture portrays.

Most important to tell. the glass looks smudged somewhat and almost dirty in appearance. I tried to clean it with a soft rag and it did not come off. I used a little gentle soap and water and the brown swirls come off! I immediately stopped of course, but DO NOT CLEAN IT WITH ANYTHING except water.

(the directions tell you to only use a soft cloth, but I was frustrated with the dirty appearance) Still working on it and it IS getting better, but that is my warning to anyone purchasing this chandelier.

I do love it but was very disappointed in it for this price. Also, it does look better with clear bulbs!.

The packaging was very minimal, but the light made it without damage. The glass is very light yellow, not brown like it appears on website. My room is not ready to hang the light yet, but I’m hoping amber bulbs might save the look for this fixture.

I’m pretty disappointed.

The light is absolutely beautiful. However the company needs to provide better instructions! My husband was able to install it but it took us just a little bit longer due to not having well written instructions.

Everyone that comes in the house compliments the light. It is gorgeous!.

We just installed our new lighting and I cant stop looking at it. We order this for the dining room and a matching sphere chandelier for the entryway. It looks perfect for the coastal/modern farmhouse feel we were after.

It matches our vinyl wood floors perfectly and it looks like real wood. We couldnt be happier. We hope to change out all our bathroom light fixtures to match. The instructions are greatly detailed for an amateur my husbands installed several over the years and so he knew what he was doing.

Assembly is super easy and the install was quick if you know how.

This light exceeded my expectations. The bands are real wood with a nice texture and distressed edges. the 3 lights are just enough for my kitchen. at one end. Chain comes with so if you need a bit more than a semi mount you have it! The shadows from horizontal bands are barely noticable.

I ordered the fandolier for opposite end of kitchen. lightscw a small fan. Progress lighting has them on website.

This chandelier is exceptionally nice. The workmanship is above average, it’s lightweight for what it is, the glass is the perfect width, and it was fairly easy to install. Additionally, the chains that suspend the fixture were quite long, so as to accommodate any ceiling, no matter how high.

The manufacturer doesn’t recommend bulbs exceeding 60 watts. This, for me, was a negative because I’m night blind so the more light there is, the better. The product also didn’t have a plate to attach the base of the fixture.

I realize that most ceilings already have that plate if they have a ceiling light. But it would have been a nice touch to include one just in case. Those two issues are minor and subjective. However, another negative is there were no instructions.

I realize, too, the installation is a fairly simple task. But the lack of instructions could prove problematic. For someone who’s never installed a light and couldn’t figure things out easily, as an example.

Nonetheless, my opinion is that the fixture is well worth those minor irritants.

This is such a pretty light fixture. I have nto yet installed it but I am anxious to do so because it looks so nice. With 4 lightbulbs I expect this chandelier to cast more than enough light over my dining room table.

The sleek black matte finish has classic, smooth lines and overall, it is such a taseful expensive quality looking fixture. There are two chains that can be adjusted to bring the 4- light bar closer or farther from the ceiling where it will be mounted which is great because I will need to take up some of the chain where I want it positioned.

The 4 glass lights are of clear glass. I can’t wait to see how this looks with a dimmer switched installed. It is really going to be a statement when people see it. Love it!.

I am in awe of this beautiful light fixture. It is really pretty in person. This gives farmhouse kind of vibe and I am loving it. The color matches with our decoration, other fixtures, and our furniture.

This piece has given my kitchen area different look and I am so happy. I am using standard bulbs which is doing great job. I am planning to use some smart bulbs which will make it easier. It is very well-made and very sturdy.

I definitely recommend this light fixture to everybody.

Immediately put item back in box and scheduled a return. The glass is frosted and looks too traditional for my taste. The gold looks very outdated. Not the beautiful modern gold that most people are drawn to.

Mod.

Large Cone LED Pendant –. They were smaller than I wanted for my 8 ft. countertop so they are being returned. Guess I would need 3 lights to balance visually with that length, but only have two light fixtures.

Got the glass in “seedy” which was more subtle than the photo.

Hanging pendant lights in my kitchen is something I’ve wanted to do for almost five years now. The one thing that stopped me was the lack of any available wiring and there was no way I was going up in that attic and attempt it.

So I hired my electrician friend to wire up 3 ceiling boxes and add a wall switch with a dimmer. Now I could finally proceed. The price of this three pack of fixtures is remarkable when you consider how nice they are.

Installation was easy and thankfully adjusting the length was a simple procedure. The ceiling in my kitchen is vaulted so I was afraid the process of having these lights hang at precisely the same level would be daunting.

Nope! It was ridiculously easy! I have mine hanging about six feet off the floor over the elevated counter top. I’m using the larger diameter LED clear Edison style 40 watt equivalent bulbs and running it off a dimmer.

These look very warm and retro and cast the perfect light pattern downward and through the three upper openings without glare. Using smaller sized bulbs allows too much light to shoot through the upper openings.

Not a good look. The inside of each fixture is painted white which not only looks good but acts as a light defuser. The outside is a matte black with dark antique bronze paint at the top. The bronze stands out just enough to add a dimension of elegant contrast.

The wire that suspends these lights is minimalist and doesn’t draw attention like a rod or a chain would and completes the retro/industrial look. I’m really glad I went forward with this project. I can’t get over the difference this has made in our kitchen.

Not just the greatly improved task lighting, but also the overall upgrade in elegance and warmth these fixtures have provided. Everything just ties together so nicely now with these beautiful yet understated lighting fixtures.

These 3 pendant lights are part of a miracle transformation in our kitchen / dining lighting. Keys to our happy results: 1) Replaced three completely different fixtures with this one design, all within 6 feet or so from each other.

2) Experimented with 60, 75, and 100 watt LED equivalent bulbs to get the balance just right. 3) Initially looped the cords [2 twist ties per cord worked] rather than cut them shorter, before deciding on final installed height.

4) We used 2700k soft white led bulbs, which really works well with the glossy white inside paint of the fixtures. 5) We chose CREE bulbs for two reasons – High CRI 90+ and the long solid white “neck” of the bulbs.

6) The long “neck” of the bulbs tamps down the otherwise too bright light that would come out of the upper openings in the canopy. 7) We placed the second fixture prox 4 to 6 inches higher than the first.

Third fixture another 4 to 6 inches higher than the second. (Ours are hanging about 6 feet apart). 8) We put a 100 watt equivalent LED bulb in our old Broan stove vent hood. 9) We put three 60 watt equivalent LEDs in the pendants over our kitchen sink.

We believe that using the high CRI bulbs has been one of our best decisions. The entire transformation was still under $200. Wife is very happy.

I bought 3 for my kitchen. They are cool looking and just what I was looking for. The little cut outs above the shade add for an interesting detail. One is hung on the sloped ceiling over the sink-no problems.

The other 2 are over the bar area with the extra cord tucked away in the pipe over the beam. My electrician said all the parts were there and they were easy to install. Thanks!.

Very pretty light and excellent quality. However, the color is a darker blue than what the photo shows. The recommended 100watt light bulb is too bright for a kitchen island which is what the manufacturer recommended to achieve the light turquoise color.

I purchased 40watt soft white bulbs and the yellow tone lightened the blue where it was more the color I was Looking for. Houzz had the best price for this pendant light. Other sites charged $500 to $700.

Almost returned it but my contractor suggested to try the soft white bulbs. Glad I did. Love it!.

Looks very nice. A bit harder to put together with smaller screws and un-drilled holes. Put bottom pads on legs to assist in connection to ground. Perfect for by the Jacuzzi

Bench is very well made and attractive. Easy to assemble. Arrived in a very timely manner. Would highly recommend. Just what I wanted for my outside front entry.

The fixture arms are very easy to snap, and once they do, you won’t be able to obtain a replacement as the company doesn’t sell these as individual parts. Instead, they say you need to replace the entire fixture.

$2000 down the drain over what is probably a $20 replacement part that can’t be obtained. I’d recommend a different fixture.

Chandelier is a perfect compliment to my dining room. The six taper candle lights are on a dimmer and give excellent lighting. Installation was easy. Was so happy with the light that I bought two smaller matching round ceiling lights for nearby entry area.

I bought this light for a client that needed to replace a DR fixture. It is superb and looks so fantastic.

This is a very nice light but the color is a lot darker in person. It looks more like an antique copper. Luckily for me that color also works in my kitchen but just wanted to give a heads up to anyone looking for the exact color shown in picture.

Also the seam in the light is pretty noticeable so keep that in mind when hanging it.

I got the bronze color. It shipped very fast. Looks great in my den, adds color, kinda matches my desk (which is what i wanted) & throws a lot of light even with relatively low light edison bulbs. Changed to soft white bulbs & the amount of light for writing is much better.

We loved the “seed” glass with the “rims”. Unfortunately, we did not notice from the photo, that the UL symbol, manufacturer name and a middle line of info had been embossed in the cylinder over the shade.

We felt that the inclusion of this very apparent embossed wording was not “appropriate” for the “statement” lights over one of our kitchen counters. With reluctance we returned the three lights. We wonder why such embossed statements would appear in such a visible location on this, otherwise, beautiful light.

The quality of the glass and the delicate iridescent coloring is the perfect balance! I was worried it would be a bit too mermaid-like but it’s very elegant and the reflection on the ceiling from the curvature shaping is gorgeous! I walk by each night so happy I listened to my partner on this choice ;).

Bought three pendants to put over my kitchen island and only one has the nice blue tone shown on picture, the other two hardly have any blue. Haven’t bothered to return because it’s probably too much of a hassle.

I’ll just put the pendant with more blue in the middle so it looks like it was done on purpose.

I have been looking and looking for a inexpensive pendant light to replace what the builder put in. I found these. They arrived quick! Easy to install so my husband and son noted. I am so happy. They give off so many cool colors.

The glass is sturdy and heavy. The rope is clear and very unique looking almost like they are suspended in the air. Elegant and puts out awesome light.

I recently installed the Cypress Grove 1 light pendent over our kitchen table. Since we already had an existing fixture there the installation of this took 15 minutes. Very easy to install and provides an elegant sophisticated modern look that goes perfectly with our décor.

The pendent is 16 inches and comes with multiple downrods so you can adjust the downward length accordingly to the height of your ceiling to create a more appealing look based on your setup. The fluted glass has downward lines and is not just a simple glass fixture that I feel makes it more appealing.

Overall, I was very happy with this product. PROS: Easy to install if replacing an existing light fixture (didn’t even need to read instructions) Multiple downrods to adjust height to accommodate any situation (you don’t want it too low) Can accommodate a number of décors options Cons: None so far.

My new Cypress Grove Pendant light is very beautiful. It looks great in my kitchen above my center island. It offers a great ambiance and is just the proper amount of brightness. It is a 13-inch light so it is the correct size and does not look awkward.

I have had many compliments on it already and I have had it up for a short amount of time. It was very easy to install and had all the necessary parts. This is a well made light and is very sturdy. The color is perfect and consistent.

The glass is thick and will not easily break. It is heavy duty. I am very happy with the quality and the look of this light. It works great.

My kitchen lighting was horrible as I didn’t have any light over my sink. This pendant light is exactly what I needed! Sleek design with open contoured half globe makes my kitchen more beautiful & even more functional.

It is hardwired, so my husband did have to run new wiring as we did not have any at all. Besides that process, installation was relatively easy. The glass fixture is way bigger than I had expected, but it still works perfect for our space.

Looks & works great!.

High quality with good looking trim. The dim-to-warm feature is the only reason I purchased these. I think all LEDs should have this feature. It makes it an excellent replacement for GU10 halogen recessed lighting.

The light temperature profile is very close to the halogens when used with a dimmer. It doesn’t get as dim as the halogens on the lowest settings, but at only 7. 5 watts its worth the tradeoff. I wish they offered a 25 degree or less beam angle.

I don’t think you will find a better LED substitute for halogen.

Pros: Unbelievably fast installation, under 10 minutes per fixture, including hole cut. Bright, crisp light, clear lens limits glare from fixture. No perceptible ‘hot spots’ light is incredibly uniform from center to edge of beam.

Dimming works flawlessly, maintains color as dimmed. Sturdy build, quality finish on each and every light. Cons: None yet (3 rooms installed to date) There may be ‘similar’ lights at a lower price point, but if build quality, color rendering (high CRI 90+) are important – these are worth it.

Only wish would be to have slightly more tilt available, and a wider regressed apeture for steeper ceilings.

The lamp looks great and makes a nice, warm light. There is nothing to complain about in terms of workmanship and design; the safe packaging ensures that the lamp arrives undamaged. Gloves are included to attach the lamp without fingerprints.

A little sobering: Despite the high price it was not enough for screws and dowels to fix the lamp in the ceiling, you have to get them yourself. And: Since the luster terminals are firmly screwed to the ceiling mounting, you may have to work with a lamp cable yourself if you do not want to mount the lamp directly where the connections come from the ceiling.

I love this light so much. It is very cool, simple and elegant. The light is just the right degree of brightness. I have the green one! Fairly easy to install by electrician.

This is a really beautiful quality light but it doesn’t hang completely straight which is frustrating and the reason it was sent back. Returns were quick and easy though, customer service very friendly.

I bought a pair of these pendants to suspend over bedside tables in Arizona. The strips are made of fabric which is not clear in the description. I really like that they are unbreakable and also accept LED bulbs.

The pattern given off by the pendant is also interesting. They are a bit pricey, but well made by Sonneman.

We installed this in a stairway in our home and everyone comments on it. We purchased the 4′ tall, brown version and against light walls it is quite striking. Also, the way light shoots out from the strips, stripes the walls around it with light.

What a wonderful addition to our home this turned out to be!.

Beautiful pendant that set the right mood for our bedroom. The design is intriguing but still not too loud so as to overwhelm the space. Gives off warm and bright light.
