What are Swag Lights?

Swag lights are lights that droop from the ceiling by a long chain whose length can be adjusted to the height that you want.  This long chain is usually let to swag one loop before they are let to hang down, which is why they are called swag lamps. Swag lamps like most other lamp shades can be made out of several materials such as fabric, beads, wicker, glass and metal. They come in many colors, shapes, sizes and prices.

What are the Advantages of Swag Lighting?

The biggest advantage of swag lighting is the amount of space it takes up. Swag lamps unlike other table lamps and floor lamps that occupy space; offer a clutter free lighting option. They also come in so many designs, shapes and colors that you will be able to get one that goes perfectly with the rest of the room’s furnishings. These lamps also add a certain amount of charm to a room and can go well with either traditional or contemporary styled homes.

What are the Disadvantages of Swag Lights?

The main disadvantage of swag lights is that they are difficult to clean and change bulbs. Unlike floor lamps and table lamps which don’t take much effort to clean, these are specially a chore as they are usually more difficult to reach. Many people also find that the long chain lengths tend to get in the way and they can be distracting.

Cost of Swag Lighting

Swag lamps are available in a range of prices. You can get beautiful yet inexpensive ones for less than $75, while there are also swag lamps that cost well over $4,000. The cost of the lamp depends on the design, the quality of the lamp and the material used. The more elegant a swag lamp looks, the more expensive it usually is. It is always a good option to check the rates and discounts that are available on the Internet. A lot of online retailers will be able to give you discounted rates that you may otherwise not be entitled to if you were to make a purchase through your local store.
