Top tip for staggering light bulbs.
Hang your light bulbs from the cord loosely so that they can be adjusted if necessary. Make sure to keep a few extra inches of slack in case you want to loop around the bulb in an undulating effect.
Some lights are manufactured at set heights bulbs can be adjusted before they are electrically connected. Ensure you get the correct heights for your space before permanently fixing the lights to the ceiling.
Make sure that you take account of how far the light bulbs hang as some are large they may hang lower than you first anticipated.

No problem there’s a plethora of cascading light fixtures with pretty decorative lampshades that may be worthy of consideration. This multiple length effect of cascading lamps really does stoke a cord with many delivering a multi dimensional look within a space that’s hard to resist. It works best in rooms with high ceilings but often it can be adapted for lower ceiling heights many having minimum heights for installation, if in doubt speak to a member of the sales team who’ll be happy to help.
