A chandelier is a decorative ceiling-mounted light fixture, a distinct type of pendant light.

Chandeliers are often ornate, and normally use incandescent light bulbs, though some modern designs also use fluorescent lamps or even LEDs.

Crystal chandeliers have more or less complex arrays of crystal prisms to illuminate a room with refracted light.

Chandeliers are often located in hallways, living rooms, dining rooms, and recently in bathrooms and bedrooms.

An electric light is a device that produces visible light by the flow of electric current.

It is the most common form of artificial lighting and is essential to modern society, providing interior lighting for buildings and exterior light for evening and nighttime activities.

In technical usage, a replaceable component that produces light from electricity is called a lamp.

Compact lamps are commonly called light bulbs; for example, the incandescent light bulb.

Lamps usually have a base made of ceramic, metal, glass or plastic, which secures the lamp in the socket of a light fixture.

The electrical connection to the socket may be made with a screw-thread base, two metal pins, two metal caps or a bayonet cap.

The word pendant derives from the Latin word "pendere", and Old French word "pendre", both of which translate to "to hang down".

It comes in the form of a loose-hanging piece of jewellery, generally attached by a small loop to a necklace, which may be known as a "pendant necklace".

In some case though the separation between necklace and pendant is far clearer.

A light fixture (US English), light fitting (UK English), or luminaire is an electrical device used to create artificial light by use of an electric lamp.

All light fixtures have a fixture body and a light socket to hold the lamp and allow for its replacement.

Fixtures may also have a switch to control the light, either attached to the lamp body or attached to the power cable.

Permanent light fixtures, such as dining room chandeliers, may use a wall switch to turn them on and off; as such, these fixtures may have no switch on the fixture itself.

Fixtures require an electrical connection to a power source, typically AC mains power, but also battery power for camping or emergency lights.

Permanent lighting fixtures may be directly wired.

Moveable lamps have a plug and cord so that they can be plugged into a wall socket.

Light fixtures may also have other features, such as reflectors for directing the light, an aperture (with or without a lens), an outer shell or housing for lamp alignment and protection, an electrical ballast or power supply, and a shade to diffuse the light or direct it towards a workspace (e.g., a desk lamp).

A wide variety of special light fixtures are created for use in the automotive lighting industry, aerospace, marine and medicine sectors.

The ampere (SI unit symbol: A, dimension symbol: I), often shortened to "amp", is a unit of electric current.

In the International System of Units (SI) the ampere is one of the seven SI base units.

It is named after André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836), French mathematician and physicist, considered the father of electrodynamics.
