The word “swag” in this lighting context simply means hanging from the ceiling. This definition can be used to incorporate many different lighting fixtures hanging from the ceiling, including chandeliers, pendants, and others. However, the traditional and most accepted definition is more specific. It points sternly at a fabric lampshade that has been electrified with one or more sockets/bulbs, usually hanging from the ceiling by a metal chain.

Really good ideas just don’t want to go away! Swags were very popular from the 1950s through the 1980s. They can be seen in many television shows and films from this period. They are very popular in many hotels, motels and resorts because they are space-saving and economical. Today we are witnessing a tremendous resurgence in their popularity. They are among the most efficient and economical ways to illuminate any area. They are also one of the best reading lights available and can be ideally positioned to put the light exactly where you want it while saving valuable floor space. They can be direct wired (permanently wired in the ceiling) or portable with a plug cord like a table lamp. Swag lamps are widely used in both residential and many commercial applications. Big shades are used for large areas and more compact shades for small areas. Swag bulbs are suitable for use with a variety of bulb styles, particularly the very efficient compact fluorescent bulbs. They are really beautiful when the light shines through the elegant fabric.

Many functions are available, such as B. 1) Pull chain on/off switch 2) In-line on/off switch 3) Custom color chain 4) Custom color cord 5) Custom chain and cord length 6) Configuration with one or more bulbs 7) Chain suspended 8) String suspended 9) Rod suspended 10) Diffuser

The shade fabric styles and colors available are almost endless, as virtually any lampshade can easily be converted into a portable or direct-wired swag lamp.

In summary, swag lamps are back in vogue. They work great at the end of a sofa, behind or next to a chair, above a dining or gaming table, in a corner, next to or above a bed, above a nightstand, above or next to a desk, etc. Use a swag lamp almost anywhere where you need light and want to preserve your floor space.
