3 Light E27 Round Amber Glass Pendant Light 40cm - Antique Gold

Three slim curved trapezium shades in amber hang from a round ceiling plate, spaced evenly across a 40cm circle finished in antique gold. The shades are narrow and tapered, so the light falls in soft vertical columns rather than one broad wash, and the amber warms everything that passes through it. The drop adjusts across a generous span, so the group can sit fairly tight beneath a modest ceiling or hang well down into a room with height to play with.

We reach for this one over a dining table, where the shades line up neatly along its length, and it does the same job above a kitchen island or in a hallway with a good ceiling. It takes E27 lamps and we would choose LED globes, since the shape you pick reads through the amber and is worth a moment's thought. It will dim with suitable lamps and a matching dimmer, which suits evening rooms where you want the amber to glow low rather than shine.

The antique gold has a warm, aged tone rather than a bright polish, so it settles in beside brass ironmongery, oak and deeper paint colours instead of competing with them. For cleaning, switch off at the wall and let everything cool, then take a soft dry cloth to the shades and the metalwork; anything abrasive or heavily wetted will dull the finish over time. It is meant for ordinary dry rooms indoors, away from steam and splashes. It carries a one year warranty. The same amber trapezium shades run through the range on a flush fitting for lower ceilings, and that shade shape is also offered on a polished chrome plate, so a landing or cloakroom can pick up the theme without repeating it exactly. Lamps are not included.

What lamps does it take, and what is the maximum wattage?

It takes three E27 lamps, each up to 20W. LED is the sensible choice here, and lamps are supplied separately.

How far down will it hang?

The drop is adjustable from 270mm up to 2270mm, so it can sit close to the ceiling or drop a long way over a table or stairwell.

Can it be dimmed?

Yes, provided you use dimmable lamps together with a dimmer that suits them. No dimmer is supplied with the pendant.

How wide is the ceiling plate?

The plate is 400mm in diameter, with the three shades arranged around it.

How should I clean the amber shades?

Turn the power off and let the lamps cool, then dust with a soft dry cloth. Avoid solvents, scouring pads and dripping-wet cloths.

Is it suitable for a bathroom?

No. It is rated IP20 and belongs in dry indoor rooms such as dining rooms, kitchens away from steam, and hallways.
