Description
Here is the working part of a pendant and nothing else: a polished chrome ceiling cup, a run of flex and a lampholder waiting for a shade of your choosing. At 12cm across, the ceiling plate is small enough to disappear under almost any shade, which is rather the point of it. The E27 socket suits a GLS A60 lamp of up to 20W, and the flex can be set short for a low ceiling or run long over a stairwell. With a suitable lamp and dimmer on the circuit, the light can be dimmed. The shade and the lamp are not included: the photographs show our Sigma Lamp Shade 40cm, one of the lamp shades we sell separately.
We keep this as our default single pendant, the one we reach for when the shade has already been chosen and all that is needed is something sound to hang it from. It works over a kitchen island in a row, at either side of a bed, above a hall table, or as the single centre light in a small bedroom. Because the shade decides the character, the same fitting will sit as easily in a period sitting room as in a plain box room. It is for dry rooms indoors, on the ordinary household supply, and it needs an earth connection.
The chrome is polished to a bright mirror finish, and keeping it that way asks little: a barely damp cloth and a dry buff lift fingerprints from the cup and the holder, best done before the shade goes on rather than after. Isolate the circuit before handling the holder. It carries a one year warranty. The same chrome head is also offered as a semi flush fitting where there is no height to spare, and in antique brass, satin nickel and satin black for anyone who would rather not have chrome.

Frequently Asked
How far down does it hang?
The drop is adjustable from 280mm at its shortest to 3280mm at full extension, so it covers everything from a low hallway ceiling to a double-height stairwell.
Is a shade included?
No. This is a universal pendant intended to take a shade of your choice, so the shade is bought separately alongside it.
Which lamp should I use?
An E27 lamp in the GLS A60 shape, rated at no more than 20W. We would choose an LED version. Lamps are not supplied with the fitting.
Can I put it on a dimmer?
Yes, provided you fit a dimmable lamp and pair it with a dimmer switch compatible with that lamp.
How do I clean the chrome without marking it?
Wipe with a soft cloth wrung out in clean water, then dry immediately and buff. Avoid abrasive creams and solvent sprays, which dull a polished surface.
How wide is the ceiling plate?
It measures 120mm in diameter, which keeps it discreet under most shades.
