Wooden pendant lights give out no ambient lighting. It is used purely for downward focused illumination and as a decorative addition to a standard metal pendant light. It is extremely practical when designed properly like in a dome, bell or cone shape. Due to it absorbing light, some designs fail to give out enough light if not designed properly. Other designs cast beautiful shadows through its absorption of light. Please keep this in mind when you are thinking of opting for a funky design and amble ambient lighting.
