FAQs – Cluster Pendant Lights
What is a cluster light?
A cluster light is a lighting arrangement that features multiple individual lights grouped together to form a striking cluster effect. Our cluster pendant lighting is particularly eye-catching, as the lights can be arranged at different heights to create a unique and dynamic display that enhances any room in the home.
Our Cranbrook Collection, handcrafted in the UK, includes beautifully made cluster pendant lights that can be customised to suit your space. With interchangeable fittings, flexes, and shades available in a variety of styles and finishes, the Cranbrook Collection allows you to create a bespoke cluster light that perfectly reflects your taste and complements your interior.
Why are cluster lights so popular?
Cluster lights have become increasingly popular because they add a smart, contemporary touch to interiors — particularly complementing industrial-style designs, which have been a major trend in recent years. Our glass cluster pendant lights offer an easy yet captivating way to enhance even the most minimalist spaces, adding depth and interest without overwhelming the room.
They’re also excellent for zoning, helping to define functional areas — such as a dining table, kitchen island, or desk — while maintaining a clean, uncluttered aesthetic.

How far apart should cluster lights be?
Groups of 3 or 5 cluster lights look striking when they are hung at different heights whilst remaining relatively close to one another. Most cluster pendant lights look their best when the individual lights aren’t touching one another, unless the arrangement includes globe-shaped pendants, which often look wonderful closer together. All our cluster pendant lights can be adjusted on installation to achieve the perfect balanced look for your space.
How low should cluster lights be hung?
This will depend on the height of your ceiling to begin with. However, if you are hanging cluster lights above a table, side unit or worktop, we would recommend ensuring there is a gap of at least 75cm to 80cm between the product and the surface so that your lights don’t look out of place or cause any obstructions. If you are installing cluster lights in a more open space, aim to leave just above 2m between the ceiling and the floor.
