FAQs
1. What spaces suit felt pendant lights?
Felt pendant lights suit restaurants, cafés, hotel lounges, reception areas and shared office spaces. Their textile texture adds softness alongside timber, metal and other interior finishes. Choose the shade colour and shape to coordinate with the furniture and surrounding fabrics.
2. Do all felt pendant lights provide acoustic benefits?
Acoustic performance depends on the felt material, thickness, shade size and installation arrangement. A decorative felt shade should not automatically be described as an acoustic product. If sound absorption is part of your project requirements, request relevant test data for the proposed design.
3. How does a felt shade affect the light?
Felt generally blocks light through its surface, so illumination comes mainly through the shade’s openings. An open underside can leave the bulb visible, while deeper shades conceal more of it. The bulb position and any diffuser also influence brightness and glare.
4. Can the felt colour match our upholstery or interior finishes?
Postmodernlighting can review felt colour options against your upholstery samples or colour references. A physical sample helps assess both the colour and surface texture under the project’s lighting. Confirm the selected material before production where close matching is important.
5. How do I choose the right size and hanging height?
Consider the shade’s full width, depth and the furniture beneath it. Wide, shallow designs can work above tables where a broad decorative shape is preferred. Check the bulb’s visibility from seated and standing viewpoints when setting the hanging height.
6. Can felt pendant lights be customized for hospitality projects?
Postmodernlighting offers custom colours, suspension lengths and electrical configurations for project orders. Changes to the shade shape or dimensions can also be reviewed against your drawings and reference images. Share the installation layout and quantities so the construction can be assessed.
7. Are fire-retardant felt options available?
If your project requires fire-retardant felt, specify the required material performance and documentation when enquiring. Availability should be checked for the proposed felt and construction before ordering. Do not assume every felt shade has the same fire performance.
8. How should felt pendant shades be cleaned?
Switch off the light and let it cool before cleaning. Gently remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum attachment on a low setting, following the material’s care instructions. Avoid soaking, scrubbing or pressing on shaped sections, which may affect their appearance.
