5 Pendant Lights Suitable for High Ceilings — 20 Foot and Up

Choosing a suitable pendant light for high ceilings can be tricky since they have to meet a few requirements — a) they have to be adjustable in height; b) they should provide sufficient brightness throughout the expansive space; and c) they have to be excellent in filling vertical spaces to make the room aesthetically pleasing. 

Fortunately for you, we have such pendant lights right here. Check out five of our pendant lights suitable for high ceilings below. 

Swift Beacon’s 5 Pendant Lights for 20-Foot-High Ceilings

1. Cage Trio Pendant

For high ceilings, we recommend going for either large pendant lights or chandelier pendants to ensure that your space is well-illuminated. That’s why we’re starting with this chandelier pendant light featuring three beautifully crafted cage-like shades that showcase exposed bulbs inside.

Each pendant is made of high-quality black metal rods with a chrome accent on top making it an excellent choice for contemporary or industrial styles. Its tiered arrangement of three lights ensures balanced illumination across a spacious area.

2. Eclipse Glow Pendant Trio

Next on our list is another chandelier pendant light that has a nature-inspired figure. It has gracefully curved shades resembling flower petals, each with a frosted bulb and golden interior that reflects a warm, inviting glow. 

Its trio of pendant lights hangs elegantly at varying lengths, creating a cascading effect that is perfect for high ceilings. This fixture works beautifully in expansive stairwells or large foyers, where its layered design can take center stage.

3. Midnight Gloss Pendant Trio

Third on our list is a product from our Midnight Collection featuring light fixtures with a stylish glossy black finish and copper ring accent. This particular pendant chandelier is clustered in a downward cascading arrangement allowing it to lend focused lighting.

Its grouped arrangement provides a modern twist on traditional pendant lights, while its adjustable lengths make it ideal for 20-foot ceilings. It also has a reflective surface which helps in diffusing surrounding light making the space evenly illuminated.

4. Elegance Trio

For those seeking an elegant fixture but don’t want something too grand, this is the pendant light for you. This chandelier pendant light exudes subtle timeless sophistication with its textured black finished shades and exposed bulbs radiating amber glow. 

These pendant lights hang in a row from a metal rectangular base and are evenly spaced to ensure that sufficient brightness is provided to the space. For maximum beautification, we recommend pairing this fixture with wood furnishings or modern decor for a rustic touch to your space.

5. Eclipse Dome Pendant

Last on our list is not a chandelier but a pendant light with a shade that’s on the larger side - 15 inches in diameter to be exact. As we mentioned earlier, it is ideal to use larger pendant lights for rooms with high ceilings to ensure that the space is well-lit throughout. 

This dome pendant light provides just that. It is a bold choice for high ceilings, thanks to its dramatic dome shape and contemporary appeal. Its large dome shade is designed with open spaces in mind and can also be used as a statement piece for grand dining areas or entryways.
