Frequently Asked Questions About Pendant Light Bulbs and Globes

Can You Change the Globes on Pendant Lights?

Yes, you can replace pendant light globes. These globes are typically secured with screws and are detachable so that you can easily change them when needed. For instance, our Orbital Glow Ceiling Light has a frosted globe mounted on a chrome-colored base. 

Should you want to replace this frosted sphere, simply unmount it and attach the new bulb or globe of your choice. Make sure though that it is compatible with the fixture’s size and bulb type. All our pendant lights support a bulb base of E26 and E27. 

Can You Change the Bulbs in a Pendant Light?

You definitely can! Replacing a bulb in a pendant light can be an easy DIY project and is often necessary when the bulb burns out. Our pendant lights, like this Winged Wire Pendant, have an open layout making the replacement more accessible. 

You just have to reach through the old bulb, remove it, and attach a new one. Removing the shade of the fixture won’t be necessary. If you experience problems with your bulb, you may find answers in our article on why your pendant lights are flickering.

What Bulbs Should You Use for Pendant Lights?

There are several bulb options you could choose from depending on the design of the pendant light and its purpose.  For energy efficiency and consistent bright lighting, LED bulbs are a popular choice. They are perfect for both focused and ambient illumination.

Alternatively, halogen or incandescent bulbs provide a warmer glow and are suited for creating a cozy atmosphere in areas like the living or bedroom. Like this Sleek Taper Pendant, all our pendant lights have dimmable features so you can easily customize the intensity of the light.
