Brecken 2 Light Glass Pendant - Old Bronze with Faux Alabaster Shades

The Brecken is a 2-light pendant featuring two wide cylindrical glass shades suspended from a central old bronze stem. Each shade is made from faux alabaster glass with subtle veining that mimics the texture of natural stone, diffusing light softly downward through a translucent white surface. The pendant measures 370mm in diameter and 404mm in shade height, with the two shades aligned horizontally beneath a structured bronze framework.

Designed for kitchen islands, bar counters and dining tables where balanced task and ambient light is needed across a linear surface, the Brecken's dual-shade configuration distributes light evenly without creating a single bright point. The drop is adjustable between 524mm and 1439mm on installation, allowing the pendant to be positioned 700-900mm above a worktop or table depending on ceiling height. Each shade takes a standard E27 bulb up to 60W (sold separately), giving flexibility to choose LED, halogen or filament sources and set colour temperature to suit the room.

The old bronze finish on the metalwork provides a dark, aged appearance with subtle tonal variation that pairs well with both traditional interiors and contemporary schemes seeking material contrast. The vertical bronze rods connecting the canopy to the shades give the fitting a structured, angular profile that contrasts with the soft curves of the glass. The faux alabaster glass is opal-white with fine grey veining, providing translucency without full transparency and softening the light output to reduce glare below the fitting.

Product Specification Sheet

What bulbs does the Brecken take?

Each shade takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with two warm-white LED bulbs between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for dining or kitchen island use.

What drop height is recommended for a kitchen island?

The pendant is typically hung 700-900mm above a kitchen island or bar counter, which works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. The adjustable drop between 524mm and 1439mm allows the fitting to be set during installation to suit the specific ceiling height and worktop position.

Is the faux alabaster glass dimmable?

Dimming depends on the bulbs you choose. If you fit dimmable LED or halogen E27 bulbs and pair them with a compatible dimmer switch, the Brecken can be dimmed. The glass itself does not affect dimming capability.

How is the faux alabaster glass cleaned?

The glass shades can be wiped with a damp microfibre cloth and mild glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. The veining detail in the glass is internal to the material and will not wear off with normal cleaning.
