Defining Affordable Lighting
"Affordable" doesn't mean cheap or low-quality. We look beyond price. A good affordable light maintains its design integrity—its form, performance, and finish—without being priced up due to a luxury brand name. Some cost-saving measures might be made in materials or manufacturing, but the essence of the design remains intact. In other words, you're paying for the light, not the logo.
Best Affordable Pendant Lights
Pendants lights come in a wide range of styles and sizes. If your looking for cheap hanging lights opting for a rattan pendant light or fabric hanging light will be a good choice.
However, thats not to say glass and metal pendants cannot be affordable. Indeed they can, looking for a less established brand that doesn't compromise the form and manufacturer but chooses to manufacture where labour is cheaper or has a different marketing strategy to keep the price lower is the best choice.
