Description
The Canalello is a slim pendant light in black steel: a narrow cone shade at the end of a long, thin stem, hanging from a round ceiling rose on a fine cord. The shade is 8.5cm across at its widest and the light measures 38cm tall overall, so it reads as a fine line in a room rather than a heavy block of metal. It takes one GU10 bulb, which is not included, so you choose the colour of light that suits the room. It is rated IP20, which settles where it goes: indoors, in a dry room, and away from bathrooms and splashing water.
Because the cone opens downwards, the light falls in a focused pool beneath the shade rather than spreading across the ceiling. That makes it a good choice over a kitchen island, a dining table, a bedside or a reading corner, where you want the light on the surface itself. At 8.5cm across it fits where a wide shade would crowd the space, and several hung side by side over a long table make a neat, even line. The black finish sits well against white or pale walls and alongside other dark metal in a kitchen or hallway.
The body is steel, and steel is strong and holds its shape well. The black finish runs across the shade, stem and ceiling rose, so every part matches. At 0.52KG it is a light load for the ceiling. There is no switch on the fitting itself: it is switched at the wall, so it works from the light switch you already have. As a wired mains light, it should be installed by a qualified electrician. The installation instructions come as a download, so you can read them well before fitting day.

Frequently Asked
Can the Canalello go in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which means it is meant for dry indoor rooms only, so we would keep it out of bathrooms and away from any splashing water.
Which bulb does the pendant take?
It takes a single GU10 bulb, which is not included, so you can pick the brightness and colour of light you prefer.
How big is the shade?
The shade is 8.5cm across at its widest and the light is 38cm tall overall, which keeps it slim enough to hang in a row over a table or island.
Does it have its own switch?
No, there is no switch on the fitting. It is switched at the wall, so it runs from the existing light switch in the room.
What material is the pendant?
The pendant is steel in a black finish, which carries across the cone shade, the stem and the round ceiling rose.
How heavy is the pendant?
It weighs 0.52KG, which is a light load for a ceiling and makes it an easy pendant to hang in a row of several.
