Too Many Hanging Lights.. Opinion Required

[Malui 0]

Hi,

Need to seek some opinions. Yesterday, I went shopping for lights with the contractor and have chosen 3 hanging lights for dining, living and balcony. Their shape and design varies, however mine living and dining line compliments each other. I was thinking to take ceiling mounted light for living but ID recommended a light. Looks nice. When reached home, i thought there will be many hanging lights in the hall. For dining and living, there is no issue coz the lights are quite a distant away. However, the balcony and living seems to be nearer. Not sure, if it looks like too many stuff danggling from my ceiling. Have asked my ID but he mentioned that since my balcony is using different tile and there's a beam to separate the living and balcony, it will not be a problem. Any thoughts.?

In addition to that, I am quite sceptical about the living room light. I hate seeing dead flying insects in the lamp and mine living room hanging light is covered at the bottom. Therefore, it allows flying insects to get some warmth and then "piakk" be a burial ground for them.. Besides design, I am also wary about maintainence. I hate those that easily collect dust, especially for material lightings. For eg, those lights covered with some cloth. Ironically, I am taking a light with the above characteristics coz of design.. Not too sure if i really think so much wen getting lightings or is it ideal that I should have that considerations.. Sigh..

Just off my mind, as long as the hanging light goes well with your overall concept, I think I should be OK. Just wonder if you have window at your balcony. 1 suggestion is to replace the balcony light to ceiling or wall mount if you do not have any window. This is because the wind might swing the hanging lights which might not be safe and will cast shadow if the wind blow at it. As for your living room light, you are right that it will collect dead insect and dust in it when it is covered below. Perhap, you can either choose similar design but without covering below to solve the problem. Besides, Fabric material will sure collect dust easily due to static electricity. You should weigh between the asthetic look and the material that you want

Thanks. Yes, my balcony has window. You are right about the fabric material. I did consider to change them. But thought to change together if I already make up my mind from ceiling to hanging light for my living room. Still considering.
