Description
The Auckland is a single pendant light with a flared dome shade in steel, finished in a mottled antique copper colour that recalls an old workshop lamp. The shade measures 26cm across, and the light has an overall height of 110cm, hanging on a black cord from a round ceiling rose in the same aged copper colour. Look up into the shade and you will see a pale inner face, which contrasts with the darker copper colour on the outer surface. It takes one E27 bulb at a maximum of 60W, and the bulb is not included. It is rated IP20, which settles where it belongs: indoors, in dry rooms.
We would hang it over a kitchen island, a dining table or a breakfast bar, where a single shade of this size gives a focused pool of light without crowding the space. In a hallway or on a landing it works just as well, adding a warm, industrial touch beneath the ceiling. The aged copper colour sits comfortably with exposed brick, timber worktops, slate and dark painted walls, and it brings character to a modern home as readily as to a period one. Because it has no switch of its own, it is simply switched at the wall like any other ceiling light.
Steel is a strong, rigid metal, so the shade keeps its crisp flared shape. The copper here is a coloured finish over the steel rather than solid copper, and the mottling is deliberate, so the patches of light and dark are part of the aged look you are buying. The light runs on a standard 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains supply and weighs 0.98KG packed, so it is easy to lift into place. As a light that is wired into the ceiling, it should be installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions come as a download.

No. It is rated IP20, so it is made for dry indoor rooms only, and we would keep it out of bathrooms, gardens and anywhere close to water.
Which bulb does it take?
It takes one E27 bulb at a maximum of 60W. The bulb is not included, so you can pick the colour of light you prefer.
How big is the shade?
The shade is 26cm across, and the light measures 110cm in overall height from the ceiling rose to the bottom of the shade.
Is the shade solid copper?
No. The body is steel with a mottled antique copper coloured finish for an aged look, and the inside of the shade is a pale colour.
Does the pendant have its own switch?
No, it has no switch of its own. It is switched at the wall, in the same way as any other ceiling light in your home.
