Description
Brisalda threads ten faceted stones of natural Spanish alabaster onto a single vertical drop, each carved to a soft hexagonal profile and separated from the next by a small turned brass sphere. The stones measure 100mm across and the drop falls 1200mm from a round brushed brass ceiling canopy. It is the same stone used on the Brisalda wall lights, hung rather than mounted, so a room can carry both without either looking borrowed from elsewhere.
An integrated LED runs to 25W at 3000K, a warm white close to the colour of a filament lamp. Every stone is lit from within, so what hangs is a line of ten separate points of light rather than one bright source. At 1200mm this is the longest drop in the range and it is shown here in a hallway, where a tall narrow fitting does what a table lamp cannot and lights the full height of the wall rather than a pool at the bottom of it.
The metalwork is solid copper in a brushed brass finish and the canopy is the same brass, so the drop reads as one piece from ceiling to lowest stone. Every stone is cut from natural Spanish alabaster and the veining runs differently through each one, so no two drops are alike. The fitting is rated IP20 for interior use. Brisalda runs to seven, eight and nine stone drops in the same range, and as a three, five or six light wall light, so a stairwell and the rooms off it can be lit from one family.

Frequently Asked
What is the alabaster and does every drop look the same?
Each stone is natural Spanish alabaster, cut and carved rather than moulded. The veining, translucency and warmth run differently through every block, so no two Brisalda drops are identical and the ten stones on a single drop will not match each other exactly. That variation is the material, not a fault.
Can I replace the LED?
No. The LED is integrated rather than a separate lamp, so there is no bulb to change and none is supplied. It is rated for a long service life.
Can it be used in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which covers dry interior locations only, so it should not be installed in a bathroom zone or anywhere it may meet moisture.
Can the drop be shortened?
The drop is 1200mm from the canopy to the lowest stone and the stones are threaded at a fixed spacing, so the length is not adjustable. Where a shorter drop is wanted, the range runs down through nine, eight and seven stones to a three stone wall light.
What ceiling height does it suit?
At 1200mm the lowest stone sits well over a metre below the ceiling, so it is best in a stairwell, a double height hall or a landing seen from more than one floor rather than under a standard ceiling.
