Suspension Lights

If you want something truly unique to make an emphatic statement in your home, or if you are just looking for something to blend in seamlessly with your existing decor, then Dorval’s luxury lampshades are the most resounding way to do it.

We’ve been creating unique luxury lamp shades since the 1970s and our range has grown extensively to include light shades of every conceivable size and shape and in a myriad of different patterns and materials. Browse the range below to get inspiration for your own space.

If you have a lot of space that you want to fill with light, especially in rooms with high ceilings, you can choose from our range of suspension lights.

They are just one of the effective tricks you can use to emphasise the height in a room, along with tall bookcases and lots of shelves which can look as though they are reaching up towards the ceiling.

By placing the source of light closer to the ceiling, you can also emphasise any of its special features, such as a vaulted construction, or where a false ceiling gives way to the original.

It also means that the light from your suspension lights can travel much further, and so be allowed to flood over a much wider area, giving you softer, even light coverage in these big spaces.

Take a closer look

Our suspension lights come in our basic design, which we can supply in a number of different colours, or in a variety of contemporary finishes including chrome, nickel, satin nickel metallic and, of course, classic plain white. We have harnessed the benefits of LED lighting technology to allow us to make suspension light fittings in a wider range of styles and designs. And because you don’t need to replace your lamps very often, it makes these long, stylish light fittings more practical than ever.

We manufacture suspension lights in a wide variety of different heights, so you can make this style work in a room of just about any size. But if you have rooms that are higher than they are wide, suspension lights will bring the main focus of any light down to a low level, where you can make the greatest use of it.

We have been hand-crafting our suspension light fittings in our factory in Leith, just east of Edinburgh, for more than 40 years, and the Dorval Lighting business is now in the hands of the third generation of our founding family.

We sell to both the public and trade, and send our lampshades out to all corners of the British Isles using fast and reliable courier services.

What Are the Best Features of Suspension Lights?

You can get lots of light with a very small footprint

A suspension light produces lots of illumination, but has just a small footprint. In many older rooms with high ceilings but a small floor space, they draw your eye towards the vertical dimensions and can evenly light all the available floor space.

You can also direct the illumination from a suspension light very precisely, and choose whether you want it to be concentrated in a tightly-defined area, or flood out to shine over a much larger space.

They’re perfect to go with a minimalist look

With just the light shades and the lamps themselves visible, you can create some stunning effects. Suspension lights work perfectly in a room where you want people to focus their attention on the decor and fittings. Suspension lights mean there’s as little as possible to detract from the look you’re trying to create.

You can make it look as though the light is floating in mid-air!

With the right decor, you can almost make it look as though there is nothing holding up your suspension lights, with the wiring which suspends them very subtle. Suspension lighting works best when you can carry off this optical illusion!

Frequently asked questions

What is suspension light?

Suspension lights, sometimes referred to as pendant lights, will hang a few inches or more from the ceiling. They can add a sophisticated look to any living space and are ideal for rooms that have high ceilings.

What is ceiling mounted light?

Ceiling mounted lights are attached to a wall and can send light upwards, downwards or can be used to diffuse lighting.

What is LED linear suspension lighting?

Linear lighting just means that it uses several diodes to emit light. They work like chandeliers and add a touch of class and glamour when illuminating a room.

LED suspension lighting offers both aesthetic and environmental appeal for homeowners.

Which light is best for ceilings?

LED lights are one of the best types of ceiling lights as they are cost-effective, long-lasting and environmentally friendly. They have an impressively long lifespan and do not consume as much energy as traditional bulbs, lowering your energy costs.

Are LED ceiling lights safe?

LED bulbs do not emit radiation, making them far safer than most other types of lighting. LED bulbs also perform using a very low voltage (12 V), making them far less risky, as well as energy-efficient.
