General Lighting
As previously mentioned, there is a versatility to pendant lights.
It can work as the central fixture in any room.
Pendant lights utilized as general lighting can reflect some light onto the ceiling.
That light on the ceiling will radiate across, just to reflect down, which illuminates the space even more.
This specific movement of light can help further illuminate the room or hallway itself.
Areas like the edges and corners within the room are more defined with light, this is one way pendant lights can be utilized as general lighting.
Area Lighting
One of the biggest difference between area and general lighting, is general lighting will light up the whole room as previously mentioned, but area lighting will only illuminate a portion.
Area lighting can be supplemental to general lighting, but cannot illuminate everything by itself.

Pendant lights will always remain a good option for creating more illumination and defining a room's atmosphere.
