ceiling pendant


Explanation:
yes, a deckenampel can be a pendant light, but in this context it most likely means a ceiling pendant which is found in operating rooms. this is simply something hanging from the ceiling which holds monitors and such. take a look at the picture at the German ebay site and then look at the explanation given at the English site... hope this helps.
