Description
A drum shade in faux silk sits close to the ceiling here, wrapped in ivory pearl with a white laminate lining, while the metalwork beneath is finished in satin nickel. A frosted acrylic diffuser closes the underside, so the lamp is softened rather than stared at, and light spills through the sides of the 40cm shade as well as down onto the floor. The overall look is quiet and unfussy, which is generally what a room with limited height asks for.
We reach for this one where a pendant would hang too low to be comfortable: bedrooms under a sloping roof, a landing, a hallway that people carry bags through, or a small dining room where the table cannot be moved aside. It runs from a standard E27 lamp, and a GLS globe shape suits the shade best. Dimming is possible where the lamp and the dimmer are chosen to work together, so the light can be settled down for the evening.
The frame is metal, the diffuser acrylic and the shade faux silk over laminate, so it is light in the hand for its size. Steam and weather are not for it, so keep it to dry rooms indoors on a normal household circuit. Look after it by switching off at the wall, letting everything cool, then brushing the faux silk gently and giving the satin nickel a dry wipe; sprays and solvents mark fabric quickly. It carries a one year warranty. The Baymont range also runs to universal flush and semi flush fittings and linear pendants in polished chrome, antique brass, satin black and this same satin nickel, ready for a shade of your choosing. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
Which lamp should I use?
An E27 lamp in the GLS (A60) shape, rated up to 20W. We would choose a warm white LED, since the frosted diffuser shows up any harshness.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided you use a dimmable lamp with a compatible dimmer. Neither is supplied with the fitting.
How far does it sit below the ceiling?
Overall height is 380mm, of which the satin nickel body accounts for 180mm, and the shade measures 400mm across.
How do I clean the faux silk shade?
Dust it with a soft brush or the upholstery tool on a vacuum, working around the drum. Keep water and cleaning sprays away from the fabric; the nickel parts take a dry cloth.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or a covered porch?
No. It is rated IP20, so it belongs in dry indoor rooms away from steam and damp.
Does it need an earth connection?
Yes, it is a Class 1 fitting and requires an earth.
