Baymont E27 Pendant Light 40cm Black - Satin Nickel

Here is a pendant that keeps things quiet: a satin nickel suspension and ceiling cup, then a 40cm drum shade in faux silk, black on the outside with a white laminate lining. The pale interior lifts the light rather than swallowing it, while the black outer holds its own against pale walls and dark paint alike. The proportions are generous without feeling heavy, and the shade is wide enough to sit comfortably over a table or a landing. We stock it as a complete pendant with the shade, rather than as a bare frame to be dressed later.

The drop adjusts across a wide span, so it can hang tight under a low ceiling or reach well down into a stairwell or a tall room. We use it over a dining table, above a kitchen island, or on its own in a hallway where a broad shade settles the space. It takes an E27 lamp of up to 20W, and dimming is possible where both the lamp and the dimmer are suitable. We would choose a warm white LED GLS for it.

The metalwork is finished in satin nickel, a low sheen that sits better with a black shade than bright chrome does. Keep the shade dry: a soft brush, or the upholstery tool on a vacuum, lifts dust from faux silk, and the nickel wants nothing more than a barely damp cloth followed by a dry one. Dry indoor rooms are its home. It carries a one year warranty. The wider Baymont range runs to semi flush fittings and to linear pendants in satin nickel, polished chrome, antique brass and white, so a hall and a dining room can be kept in step. Lamps are not included.

How far down does it hang?

The drop is adjustable from 390mm at its shortest to 3310mm at full extension, so it works under a standard ceiling and over a stairwell alike.

What size is the shade?

The drum measures 400mm across and 180mm deep, with a body height of 355mm.

Which lamp should I use?

An E27 GLS A60 shape is the best fit, and an LED version up to 20W keeps both the running cost and the heat down.

Can I put it on a dimmer?

Yes, provided you pair a dimmable lamp with a compatible dimmer. Neither the lamp nor the dimmer comes with the pendant.

How do I clean the faux silk shade?

Dust it dry with a soft brush or a vacuum upholstery tool. Avoid water and sprays on the fabric, as the laminate lining can mark.

Is it suitable for a bathroom?

No. With an IP20 rating it is intended for dry rooms such as living rooms, bedrooms, halls and dining rooms.
