Hello,
we want to buy a pendant lamp for our dining table (usually about 160cm (63 inches) long). There are some nice pendant lights available, for example, 120cm (47 inches) long.
Now, when we have guests, we want to extend the table to at least 260cm (102 inches).
We can only extend the table in one direction because there is a patio door on the other side, which would block access if extended there.
This means there would be no light above the extension. Pendant lamps usually hang quite low, so the light might not reach far enough.
How do you solve this situation? We would rather not turn on additional lights, for example in the kitchen; the light in the dining room alone should be enough.
I have also come across extendable pendant lamps, or would the best solution be to choose a ceiling light that distributes light more broadly?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
try looking up the COS light from Komot. Pendant height freely adjustable and can be moved along the track. And great lighting.Thanks for the tip! I really like it, and I appreciate the easy handling and adjustability.
It also looks really great.
I’m seriously considering buying something like that.

A simpler version of the same concept would be to use a rail like a Nordic Track and attach pendant lights of your choice to it with suitable adapters, allowing you to distribute and reposition them as needed.

I also think they are great now, but the price is simply outrageous.Unfortunately, yes! But in return, you get a nice lamp that works great and that you enjoy looking at and using.hampshire schrieb:

A less refined version of the same concept would be to use a rail like a Nordic Track and attach pendant lights of your choice to it with appropriate adapters, allowing you to position and move them as needed. I agree! As you said, there are plenty of more affordable options, which naturally look less expensive.
Everyone has to decide that for themselves (and their budget)...
