Description
The Cardito is a slim linear pendant light: a black bar 100cm long and 8cm wide, hung on two fine wires from a black rectangular ceiling canopy and 110cm high overall. Along its length runs a clear glass channel filled with pieces of brilliant glass, which catch the light from the integrated LEDs and give the bar a gentle sparkle. There are six 6W LEDs, each giving 570 lumens, and as they are integrated there are no bulbs to buy or change. It is rated IP20, which settles where it belongs: indoors, in a dry room.
We think it is at its best over a dining table, where the long, narrow bar follows the line of the table. A kitchen island or a long desk in a study suits it just as well. The black frame draws a crisp outline that sits comfortably in a modern room, while the glass pieces add a little glamour without the fuss of a chandelier. Because the colour temperature adjusts, one light gives you bright, cool light for homework or reading and a warmer glow for a relaxed dinner.
The body is aluminium and steel in black, and the shade is clear glass holding pieces of brilliant glass. A touch dimmer lets you bring the brightness down for a quiet evening, and the colour temperature moves from a warm 2700K to a cooler, crisper 5000K. It runs on 220-240V mains, and as a wired-in light it should be installed by a qualified electrician. Before ordering, measure from your ceiling to the table top and check that a light 110cm high overall leaves comfortable headroom for everyone around the table.

Can the Cardito pendant go in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which means it belongs indoors in a dry room, so a bathroom or any outdoor spot is not the right place for it.
Can I change the colour of the light?
Yes. The colour temperature adjusts from a warm 2700K to a cooler, crisper 5000K, so one fitting covers relaxed evenings and brighter tasks.

Yes, it is dimmable, and a touch dimmer lets you set the brightness to suit anything from a busy family meal to a quiet evening.
How big is the light?
The bar is 100cm long and 8cm wide, and the light is 110cm high overall, so measure your ceiling and table before ordering.
Does it need bulbs?
No. The light source is integrated LED, with six 6W LEDs each giving 570 lumens, so there are no bulbs to buy or replace.
Which materials does it use?
The body is aluminium and steel with a black finish, and the shade is clear glass filled with pieces of brilliant glass that catch the light.
