Description
The Brinley is a 3 light cluster pendant with three clear glass shades shaped like canning jars, suspended from a brushed brass canopy on individual wire drops. Each shade hangs at a different height from the 216mm-diameter central cluster, housing a single E27 bulb fitting (bulbs sold separately). The clear glass exposes the bulb filament directly, so the light source becomes part of the visual design.
Designed for kitchen islands, dining tables and breakfast bars, the Brinley suits ceiling heights between 2.4m and 3.5m where the clustered drop creates layered visual interest without overwhelming the space below. The adjustable wire drops allow the pendant to be set at the preferred working height during installation, typically 700-900mm above a worktop or dining surface. The 216mm overall width keeps the fitting compact enough for islands around 1.2-1.8m long.
The brushed brass metalwork includes the canopy, the collar around each glass shade, and the central cluster mechanism that holds the three wire drops. The brushed finish softens reflections compared to polished brass and pairs comfortably with both warm wood tones and cooler greys in contemporary, transitional and mid-century interiors. Each glass shade measures approximately 197mm in height with straight sides tapering slightly at the top, echoing traditional preserving jars but scaled for pendant lighting.
From Kichler, a US lighting manufacturer established in 1938 and known for architectural-quality residential lighting across traditional and contemporary styles. The Brinley carries a 2 year guarantee and ships with 2600mm of adjustable wire, allowing drops from a minimum of 256mm to a maximum of 2870mm measured from ceiling to the base of the lowest shade.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does it take?
The Brinley takes three E27 (Edison screw) bulbs up to 60W each, sold separately. Most buyers pair this with warm-white LED filament bulbs between 4-8W and 2200K-2700K to complement the vintage jar-style glass and expose the filament as part of the design.
Can the drop height be adjusted?
Yes. The pendant ships with 2600mm of wire per shade, allowing installation at any height from 256mm minimum to 2870mm maximum. The wire is typically cut and terminated during fitting to set the final drop, so adjustment after installation requires re-wiring.
What ceiling height does it suit?
The Brinley works best in rooms with ceiling heights between 2.4m and 3.5m. For kitchen islands or dining tables, the lowest shade typically sits 700-900mm above the surface, which requires a ceiling height of at least 2.4m to maintain comfortable clearance.
Is the glass replaceable if damaged?
The glass shades are separate components held by the brushed brass collars. Contact Kichler or Niori for replacement glass availability — individual shades can often be sourced as spares without replacing the entire fitting.
