Description
The Alessandra is a rise-and-fall pendant light with a wide, bell-shaped shade of white alabaster glass. Soft marbled swirls run through the glass and give it a gentle, milky look. The white plastic ceiling cup, coiled cord and shade holder keep the whole fitting crisp and bright. It stands 110cm in overall height and measures 38cm across the shade, a generous width for lighting a table. It takes a single E27 bulb of up to 60W. The bulb is not included, so you can choose the colour of light you prefer. It is rated IP20, which means it belongs indoors in a dry room.
The adjustable height is the real reason to choose this one. You set the drop by hand on the coiled cord. The shade can come low over a dining table or kitchen island for meals and homework, then go higher again to open the room. That makes it a natural fit for a kitchen, a dining room or a breakfast area. It sits as comfortably in a cottage or traditional home as in a plain, modern one. The white finish and pale glass are neutral enough to pair with almost any wall colour or wood tone.
There is no switch on the fitting itself, so it is controlled from your wall switch like any ordinary ceiling light. It runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains and should be installed by a qualified electrician. The installation instructions come as a download. Packed, it weighs 2.398KG. To keep the glass looking its best, let the bulb cool and wipe the shade with a soft, dry cloth. When you buy a bulb, any E27 lamp of 60W or less will suit it, and an LED bulb sits comfortably within that limit.
