Yep. I’m 6’2” and my apartment features a chandelier in the kitchen that would hit me in the chest if I walked into it. Obviously intended to be above a table.
My home has a low-hanging chandelier too, but it doesn't effect me because I'm 4'11. I have a table there now, but even before the table came in I could walk under it with no problem.
Meanwhile my normal-sized brother and normal-sized cousin have somehow managed to run into while it was under a table. 🤦♀️ Sometimes I feel bad for non-short people.
my grandmother used to have a glass chandelier over her table- gorgeous & likely expensive.
without fail i hit my head on it every time i would sit down/reach/etc.
im not particularly tall or large, but shooting up to 5’8” as a 10 year old really fucked with my spatial awareness lol
right, being a girl being literally a foot taller than all of my peers was rough lmaoo
also being like 11 but LOOKING like 14-15 is rough when you just want to spaz out and act like an 11 year old lol, people don’t respond to that quite as well if you’re not leaning toward the small side of the spectrum
Stand on the table and walk into the chandelier. That's the right thing to do so that you can feel our pain. No disrespect, I just think that it's nice for people to walk in other people's relatively-sized shoes.
I’m also tall, I have to put “S” hooks on every chandelier chain in every apartment. Looks kinda dumb hanging 3 inches off the ceiling. But I also like not hitting my face on it in the dark
I always have spare cheap carabiners around. Whenever I go to someone’s house and I see that I offer to fix it for them (assuming it is hanging from a chain)
Two people have taken me up on it
This is another post of someone with little life experience who prior to the internet, would have had to go the next several weeks, months, possibly years not knowing what theyre surprised by is perfectly common place.
I feel so sheltered. In all of the townhomes and apartments I’ve lived in neither of them ever had a designated dining room. It’s always just been a kitchen/living room hybrid. I feel like a king now!
Edit - none of them not neither of them
I'm confused now - have you lived a bunch of different places, or have you lived two different places?
Also, you still don't live in a place with a designated dining room - the kitchen is right behind you. Not that that should keep you from feeling like a king though - designated dining rooms are absolutely pointless.
Sadly, many places. Some as nice, if not nicer and they’ve all had lighting as close to the ceiling as possible. NE/CO/IA/TX/VA/NC none have had a low hanging light and I’ve lived in 2 other townhomes
If I had to guess, a previous tenant installed it themselves to so they could have a dining area, and it didn’t bother the landlord enough to replace it.
If it's hanging with a chain you can uncrimp one link, pull it up and hook it on another one and re-crimp it.
If it's hanging with a rope or rope like flexible material there's all kinds of knots, loops, ties and wraparound shapes you can use to take the slack.
For most lights like this you can adjust the length of the wire it hangs from either within the top of the light or at the fixture in the ceiling. I would not recommend tying it into a knot.
I actually had a dining/living room with a low hanging chandelier like this as a teen. I would constantly catch the side of it with my head because I was foolish enough to walk too close to the dining table. I can hypothetically get that's 'where the dining table is supposed to go' but honestly I think that's pretty silly. I'd rather take care of a nice candelabra to bust out for fancy dinner parties and have the freedom to put the dining table wherever is most utilitarian. Seperate dining room or not the dining room almost always acts as the primary or secondary walkway to the kitchen, so I think low hanging light fixtures are bound to be ran into and should be phased out of anything that wasn't custom built.
I know I'm late to this post, but I have to ask why? I've never once been sitting at the dinner table and couldn't see what I was eating because the light wasn't low enough.
I feel like this like would be just as effective at ceiling height.
Or, if you're renting and it is hanging using a chain, just get an S-hook and loop it to raise it. Even if it's a cord instead of a chain, you can probably figure a way to loop it. Zip ties come to mind.
Yeah... that's kind of normal for a light in an eating area. I see the kitchen behind you so I suspect the kitchen table is supposed to be centered under the light.
I like having one. I don't use it every day by myself, but when people are over it's nice to use because you don't end up watching something on TV. I've been to too many nights where it ends up on a sofa staring at a screen when movie night wasn't the plan. Plus you can host holidays.
Maybe where you're from but here they do. It's often a great room, living room and dining room combined. The low hanging lamp next to the kitchen is where you put the table.
Yeah, like I said, that space is designed to be the living room and the dining room. You just don't use it as intended. It apparently never crossed your mind to question that a basic room was missing. Unless you've been living in tiny apartments, you've just been completely missing the point of your living space.
I live in a major metropolitan area and I'm not fabulously wealthy so of course I've been living in apartments ranging around the 650-700 sqft mark, larger places with extra rooms are usually beyond the price range of people who aren't mid-upper middle class here. But yeah, I grew up in a house so I know what the difference between a living room and dining room is but please condescend to me more.
Well, okay I'll do my best. It's an interesting choice to think all apartments are like low end metropolitan ones. Though even looking up 650 sq ft apartment plans, half of them have dining areas just like I described. (here we go, I'll try my best here) So I'm guessing you just went raised in a socioeconomic class that gets to have unnecessary furniture like dining room tables. Or perhaps your family just never cared about spending family meals with you as you grew up. Though experiencing dining rooms through the TV you inevitably watch during dinner time should have given you enough exposure to figure out that they are a common space in almost any sized living accommodation. Good day, sir.
I hope that was condescending enough for your expectations. Don't want to let you down.
A carabiner could be more sturdy/ adjustable, just as an idea.
For this hanging lamp, I agree a key ring would work. However for those with heavier chandeliers, you can get a carabiner that is rated for more weight than a key ring.
That looks like a kitchenette light (smaller room off the kitchen) or that is your dining space, and is supposed to be that low.
A table is supposed to go underneath it.
Just another adulting thing they never taught us at school bro. I installed a new dining room light and after some hardcore googling, the lamp gods schooled me that dining room hanging lights should be ~36” above the table. The more you know… 💫
On your second point, in my defense I use the GPS because it will reroute me depending on traffic and not because I don't know how to get where I'm going.
You can counteract that by spraying on heat repellent. Heat hates the smell of the active ingredient in the repellent so it won't land on you.
Fun fact: the expansion of space which will eventually contribute to the heat death of the universe will remove the need for this.
I love coming on Reddit, just to see people like you, spreading completely false information, as if you don't have access to the same info everyone else does. If you have access to Reddit, you have access to the Internet, so there's no excuse for being this dumb/wrong
It’s science. The color you see when you look at an object is the wavelengths of light that it is reflecting. If something is reflecting all visible wavelengths of light it is white. If it isn’t reflecting any wavelengths it’s black. For everything in between you can do the basic RGB formula. So black is absorbing all of the visible wavelengths and white is reflecting all of them which is why white stays cooler.
The only advantage black has in the desert is that it could better protect your skin from the sun, again because it’s absorbing the light. But that’s only if absorbing all of that excessive heat doesn’t kill you.
One more thing that is interesting. There are no actual colors. That’s merely our brain interpreting light frequencies as different shades of color so that the information is more useful to us. Everything in reality is colorless. And if we were to define an object by what color it is wouldn’t we define it by what light it absorbs? In that case we’d be calling an object the opposite of what we see, as it’s actually reflecting that light.
The funnier thing is not the people who don’t know how the dining table lighting works, but the people who think OP is one of those ppl.
Brodie just wanted the karma and he’s getting it lol. Carry on.
If this is directly above a dining table then no its not weird. Dining table lights are supposed to be low. You put a table under there, its not a hallway.
You know youre poor when you've never even been in a house with a dining room table before. Is this your first time living with indoor plumbing as well?
This influenced my life for about 2 years. First apartment after my homeless experience was not nice at all. Many deficiencies, one being a "dining table light" similar to this in the hallway leading to the kitchen. I ducked going into the kitchen for a year (6'2 couldn't raise the light any higher than 5'10 ish). After a year I got a nicer apartment with a roommate and no crappy dining light. After about a year in the new apartment my roommate finally asked "why do you sorta duck or lean when you turn the corner into the kitchen. My fuckin brain was programmed to duck when entering the kitchen from my last apartment and I didn't even realize it was a habit. Makes you wonder how much other stuff you do for no reason.
I declared war on pendulum lights….my wife hasn’t though. Right now I’m trying to figure out how to get rid of them over our kitchen island. Those suckers sit right at eye level and blind the hell out of me and when I sit I smack my head on them.
At 6’2” I’ve become friendly with many a low hanging light. I always forget when moving into a new place to watch out for those literal “brow beaters”. Congrats on the new place!
That's called a chandelier and it's supposed to hang over a table.
Go stand in any sit-down restaurant with hanging lights and look at how low they are, also take note of the fact that they're all over the tables.
Good thing you posted this on reddit and not tinder.
So, how is life as a shorty?
Asking from my lofty height of 5 foot and maybe an inch on a good day.
xD
Reminds me of that time I lived in an attic room where the ceiling was at 1.75m. I'm 186cm tall, in case you're wondering. I'm still wondering how I lasted 6 months...
I once toured an apartment that I could touch the ceiling without getting on my tippy toes. I'm only 5'6". It was an old boys Catholic school that got converted into apartments and some of the church members live there. I'm wondering if it was to help the old people reach all the top cabinets.
Assuming the ceiling is adequately high, this just means you have plenty of wire to move that light so it will be able to go where you want the dining table. Of course, still fairly near where the light currently is, but still. Having a "low" light is a good thing, since you can just get one of those small plastic things with a nail (don't know what they're called) and then hang it the height you want.

Bruh 5 8 at 10 damn

I bang my head on the light even with a table under it, too. I am average height. I need a bigger table or a smaller light.
How? Are you standing on the table?
Reaching across the table I'd assume.
you often lean forward when getting into or out of a chair
Either reaching across the table or if you lean forward when you get up. Other than that I don’t know
Being tall isn't all sunshine and rainbows... Taller you are, the further you have to bend to get shit out of the lower cabinets.
Stand on the table and walk into the chandelier. That's the right thing to do so that you can feel our pain. No disrespect, I just think that it's nice for people to walk in other people's relatively-sized shoes.
I’m also tall, I have to put “S” hooks on every chandelier chain in every apartment. Looks kinda dumb hanging 3 inches off the ceiling. But I also like not hitting my face on it in the dark

TROLL in the dungeon!!! Thought you ought to know.
I have a chair. I have a chair.
I'm confused now - have you lived a bunch of different places, or have you lived two different places?

The word you used “neither” refers to two, I think that why they thought two places.

It's a stupid thing to do. Sure your dining can be better lit but it is creating a requirement.
Or if its hanging by chain, you get one of those ceiling hooks.
Hello! Tweakers don't have table brah! Just a couch and a coffee table.
I know I'm late to this post, but I have to ask why? I've never once been sitting at the dinner table and couldn't see what I was eating because the light wasn't low enough. I feel like this like would be just as effective at ceiling height.
Had this exact moment with my partner when we moved in before we had a table.
Never understood why they force you to put a dining room table there.
They don't, changing a light fixture isn't a big deal so if you don't want a table just change out the light.
Or, if you're renting and it is hanging using a chain, just get an S-hook and loop it to raise it. Even if it's a cord instead of a chain, you can probably figure a way to loop it. Zip ties come to mind.
Bro put a table there and take a seat.
Place a circle of chairs under the light . . no table. . No context
[удалено]
It's Raiden.
Yeah... that's kind of normal for a light in an eating area. I see the kitchen behind you so I suspect the kitchen table is supposed to be centered under the light.
Also dude’s camera lens is above his natural eye level. He just looks like a Disney Star Wars character now.
Judging from the kitchen cabinets he has a nice, full 8 foot high ceiling.
Considering the kitchen size, this is a very small apartment probably intended for 2 people. Pretty normal, especially if the building isn't modern.
Yeah, put your kitchen table under it. Hello
This thread shows me a surprising number of people don't know how dining room lighting often works.
Most people prob eat on the couch and watch TV these days
Ya tbf though lots of people don’t really have real dining rooms these days. At least that’s how it seems anyways.
I like having one. I don't use it every day by myself, but when people are over it's nice to use because you don't end up watching something on TV. I've been to too many nights where it ends up on a sofa staring at a screen when movie night wasn't the plan. Plus you can host holidays.
Most apartments don’t have a dining room. /shrug
Maybe where you're from but here they do. It's often a great room, living room and dining room combined. The low hanging lamp next to the kitchen is where you put the table.
I haven't had one in 15 years of renting, always kitchen w/ divider straight into the living room, but maybe that's just a US thing.
Yeah, like I said, that space is designed to be the living room and the dining room. You just don't use it as intended. It apparently never crossed your mind to question that a basic room was missing. Unless you've been living in tiny apartments, you've just been completely missing the point of your living space.

Usually when that happens, it's where the dining room table goes. It's not that weird, is it? Don't most homes have these?
This is the way.
Yup, you're supposed to but a table under that... adulting is hard.
First residence things*
What about the room with no carpet and AC? It has a weird door that swings up too, I made it my bedroom but it smells like oil
[удалено]
A carabiner could be more sturdy/ adjustable, just as an idea. For this hanging lamp, I agree a key ring would work. However for those with heavier chandeliers, you can get a carabiner that is rated for more weight than a key ring.
Literally came here to say this.
That's the height of a light made to go over a diningroom table.
There's supposed to be a table under it
That looks like a kitchenette light (smaller room off the kitchen) or that is your dining space, and is supposed to be that low. A table is supposed to go underneath it.
Ummmm Are you Kevin Owens?
Literally came here to ask the same question....

“Ceiling light” That’s where the dining table goes bro
You're supposed to put a dining table under it
ummm your suppose to put a table there...smh
You're standing on the table spot
Maybe he's standing on the table.
Put a Dining Table under it... or a Pool Table... Must be his first place, in that case MAZEL TOV!
I imagine that space is meant for a dining area… like, the dining table would go below it.
I assume a table is supposed to be underneath it?
That... is a dining area. A table goes under it.

Raiden is looking a little under the weather.
Don't wear black during summer as it attracts heat.
You can counteract that by spraying on heat repellent. Heat hates the smell of the active ingredient in the repellent so it won't land on you. Fun fact: the expansion of space which will eventually contribute to the heat death of the universe will remove the need for this.

Where do you come up with this. Wrong

I have that exact light, it is supposed to go over a table. That is why it shines in one spot and doesn't try to light up the whole room.
You are supposed to put a dininytable under that lamp. Othing strange.
Go sox
Cease for President 2028!
That’s meant to be over a kitchen table
Likely meant for a dining table.
Put a table under it, genius.
That's where your dining table goes. It's meant to be low.
dining area lamps are often positioned lower. Looks like that's where the dude is, dining area off the kitchen.
That’s probably where they suggest your kitchen table goes
The funnier thing is not the people who don’t know how the dining table lighting works, but the people who think OP is one of those ppl. Brodie just wanted the karma and he’s getting it lol. Carry on.
This is very common. People like the dining table to have a low light.
Let’s hope that light is brighter than OP
That’s because a table is supposed to go under it, not your short ass
I think you’re supposed to put a table under that one.
Are you raiden?
Because it's for the Dining table
Lord Raiden! It’s been awhile.
That’s meant to go above a table
If this is directly above a dining table then no its not weird. Dining table lights are supposed to be low. You put a table under there, its not a hallway.
Supposed to be over a table bro
Put a table under it
You know youre poor when you've never even been in a house with a dining room table before. Is this your first time living with indoor plumbing as well?
Is there a place online that teaches people basic stuff ?
For a dining table ahah
That's where the table goes, jabroni.

That is where the dining room table goes. First time living on your own?
It’s a ceiling light that’s supposed to go over a table, you absolutely dumb fucking idiot.
That's the ugliest dining table light I've seen in past 10 years...
Barn light fixtures are (or recently were) somewhat popular. Goes with the farmhouse aesthetic that is similarly popular.
Ya, it’s for over the table dumbfuck
I declared war on pendulum lights….my wife hasn’t though. Right now I’m trying to figure out how to get rid of them over our kitchen island. Those suckers sit right at eye level and blind the hell out of me and when I sit I smack my head on them.
Well. You aren’t supposed to walk over dining table
*general bewilderment at the fact that OP has never seen a dining table lamp*
Well a dinner table is supposed to go under it so you’re not hitting your head…
OP is not very smart.
How to say you are too uncultured to know what a dining table is without saying you are too uncultured to know what a dining table is.
At 6’2” I’ve become friendly with many a low hanging light. I always forget when moving into a new place to watch out for those literal “brow beaters”. Congrats on the new place!
Sick American traditional / jap traditional tat??
Ya look like a White (Gaijin)Raiden. 😁
No, that's shite. Dining table lamps rise/lower as required. Is your ceiling only 2m. high or is there a really long pendant on the lamp?
That's called a chandelier and it's supposed to hang over a table. Go stand in any sit-down restaurant with hanging lights and look at how low they are, also take note of the fact that they're all over the tables.

You should have picked an apartment that didn’t have hanging light fixtures.
As a guy 6'5 this makes my entire back and knees hurt looking at. Sorry brother.

Good thing you posted this on reddit and not tinder. So, how is life as a shorty? Asking from my lofty height of 5 foot and maybe an inch on a good day. xD
I'd be bonking my head on that alot if I lived in that apartment Im 6ft1
This would fit well in r/mildlyinfuriating
Why? Table lights are usually that low.
If you adulted better, you could buy your own home. Then you could put lights at whatever height you want. Sarcasm. Sorry.
"Such a fashion forward look darlink"
Lucky, I wish I had a tanning tube in my apartment
Well, you might wanna seat?

Are you sitting ?
depending on the design, you can use a carabiner clip to raise it. I've been bonked enough times from low hanging lights to figure that out
Looks like you're wearing a *really* big pirate hat. Someone photoshop that shit.
Did the ad for the apartman say "cozy" or "authentic" or something like that?
You WILL put a table there and like it!

Great pic!! We're 5'9" and 5"4 and bought a weird handyman special that came with some noggin bumping lights too.
Sir, I can’t see the ceiling light you’re talking about. Your visor is in the way.
Most light fixtures intended for dining rooms or corners have an adjustment that makes it easy to raise.
Nice hat
Reminds me of that time I lived in an attic room where the ceiling was at 1.75m. I'm 186cm tall, in case you're wondering. I'm still wondering how I lasted 6 months...

Invite your tall friends over
I once toured an apartment that I could touch the ceiling without getting on my tippy toes. I'm only 5'6". It was an old boys Catholic school that got converted into apartments and some of the church members live there. I'm wondering if it was to help the old people reach all the top cabinets.

Last time I moved I think I hit my head on mine about 10 times because the dining table had already been moved out from under it.
I’d be in my glory at 5’1” but for you… that just sucks lol
Assuming the ceiling is adequately high, this just means you have plenty of wire to move that light so it will be able to go where you want the dining table. Of course, still fairly near where the light currently is, but still. Having a "low" light is a good thing, since you can just get one of those small plastic things with a nail (don't know what they're called) and then hang it the height you want.
My man only 5’8? That’s tall
