# What are ceiling lights and how are they used in home lighting design?

## Overview of mounted fixtures and their role in ambient lighting.

A lighting fixture that hangs from the ceiling is either a pendant or chandelier. In either case, the light hangs from a cable, cord, or pipe. These designs function as ambient or task lighting, depending on the shape of the shade and number of lights.
