Calmeilles Clear Glass 10 Light Pendant 63cm - Brass

The Calmeilles is a tiered ceiling pendant in a brass finish, built from rectangular steel frames hung with clear brilliant glass prisms that catch the light and scatter it around the room. It measures 63cm across and 150cm in overall height, hanging from a brass chain and a round ceiling rose, so it gives the space above a table, or the centre of a large room, real presence. It takes 10 E14 bulbs of up to 25W each, which are not included. It is rated IP20, which settles where it goes: indoors in dry rooms, never in a bathroom or outdoors.

We would hang it over a dining table, in a generous living room or in a hallway with good ceiling height, where the glass can be enjoyed from across the room. Because the prisms are layered, light passes through glass after glass, so the pendant throws sparkle across the walls and ceiling whenever it is lit. It suits anyone who wants a light fitting that doubles as the centrepiece of a room. Because it is switched at the wall, there is no pull cord or inline switch to interrupt the clean line of the chain.

The body is steel in a brass colour, and steel gives the frames the strength to carry a generous weight of glass; packed, the pendant weighs 15.83KG, which is worth knowing when you plan the job. The clear brilliant glass prisms sit in open frames, so their cut faces show from every angle. It runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains. As general guidance, a wired-in ceiling light like this is installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions come as a PDF download, so your electrician can read them ahead of fitting day.
