Calice 48cm Dimmable LED Pendant Light 16W 3000K - Grey & White

The Calice is a 48cm diameter pendant light with a shallow conical shade in two-tone grey and white, housing an integrated 16W LED that produces 1200 lumens at 3000K warm white. The grey exterior wraps the outer surface while the white interior reflects and diffuses light downwards across a 120° beam spread, giving even coverage over a table or worktop without harsh directional spotting.

Designed for kitchen islands, dining tables and work desks, the Calice sits 450mm minimum to 2000mm maximum below the ceiling on an adjustable cable suspension, allowing the pendant to be set at the right height for the room. The 48cm diameter suits table lengths of 1.2-1.8m or island widths of 0.9-1.2m, with the shallow 120° spread keeping light concentrated on the surface below rather than spilling across adjacent walls. The dimmable LED pairs with compatible phase-cut or trailing-edge dimmers to reduce output from full 1200lm down to lower ambient levels in the evening.

The grey finish on the upper surface reads as a soft mid-tone rather than a dark charcoal, pairing well with light-toned timber, white cabinetry and neutral wall colours without creating stark contrast. The white underside maximises reflectance and keeps the colour temperature true to the 3000K LED output. The pendant weighs 1.8kg once installed, requiring a standard UK ceiling rose capable of supporting 2kg+ loads. Mantra backs the fitting with a 3-year warranty covering the integrated LED and electrical components.

Is the Calice dimmable?

Yes. The integrated LED is dimmable and requires a compatible phase-cut or trailing-edge dimmer switch. Not all dimmers work with all LED fittings — check dimmer compatibility before purchase or contact us for advice on specific dimmer models.

What height should the pendant hang above a dining table?

Typical installation places the bottom of the shade 700-800mm above the table surface. For a standard 2.4m ceiling height with a 750mm table, set the drop to approximately 900-1000mm. The cable adjusts from 450mm to 2000mm to suit different ceiling heights.

Can multiple Calice pendants be installed in a row?

Yes. For kitchen islands or longer dining tables, installing two or three Calice pendants in a line provides even coverage. Space them 600-800mm apart centre-to-centre for balanced light distribution without creating dark gaps between pendants.

What colour is the grey finish?

The grey is a mid-tone warm grey rather than a cool slate or charcoal. It reads as a soft neutral that pairs with both warm timber tones and cooler whites without creating harsh contrast.
