Very Modern Light…horizontal or vertical?

I have chosen a very modern light for my wall in a room, and am wondering which way to position it, horizontally or vertically. I have enclosed photographs and would be interested in what you stylish people think.
Thankyou

Horizontally.
I'd also say, that colour wise it matches the main light, but the styles are very different and that jars with me.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

Do you think it looks too small for the space? I am having difficulty finding a larger one.0

Not sure there's a strong reason to prefer either orientation. Unless the lighting effect is somehow better one way or the other, I'd just go with whichever you like the look of most.
To me, the horizontal arrangement looks a bit "Olympic rings gone wrong" whereas the vertical is more unique. I'd possibly have chosen the latter just based on first impressions.1 -
Thanks both, one vote for each so far then!0

Walls are there to be filled. If you place it vertically then that gives you space to have two decent sized pictures either side.GoldenOldy said:Do you think it looks too small for the space? I am having difficulty finding a larger one.If you're attempting to fill the wall with just that one object then horizontal might be better but you're really not filling the wall.Interior design is about the whole and how objects sit together to create one scene. It's not a scene yet.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

Sorry to be awkward, but could we please have a picture of it at 45 degrees?
No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?4 -
Yes, thankyou for being interested.. I am coming to the conclusion it may be too small for the space so thinking perhaps a picture light with a mirror/picture underneath?
one pic below 45 degrees, one 90’s to give you scale of wall.0 -
there we are…its quite a big wall , but it needs a light. I have only one wired up part for lighting in the wall. Thanks

It's too small. I would get two of the same, and position them close together such that they look like one light.GoldenOldy said:Do you think it looks too small for the space? I am having difficulty finding a larger one.1
