Carrie 4 Light E27 Linear Pendant Light 1.2m Drop - Antique Gold

Four E27 lampholders sit in a row along a slim bar finished in antique gold, and the frame comes bare, so the shades are yours to pick. That makes it useful for anyone who has already found a fabric drum or a glass shade they like and needs something honest to hang it from. The bar runs 1.2m from end to end and stays narrow in profile, with an adjustable drop so the lamps can hang low over a table or be drawn up well clear of heads.

We reach for a linear frame like this where a single central pendant leaves the ends of a long table in shadow. It works over a kitchen island, a dining table, a run of worktop or a home bar, and it suits people who want the light built around shades of their own choosing rather than a fixed look. Each lampholder takes a lamp of up to 20W, and with dimmable lamps and a compatible dimmer on the circuit the level can be brought down for eating and talking.

The gold is warm and softly aged rather than bright, which sits happily with brass tapware, walnut and deeper paint colours. Keep it looking right with an occasional pass of a dry duster or a barely damp cloth along the bar, power off and lamps cold, and leave sprays and metal polishes alone, as they flatten an aged finish. It carries a one year warranty. We also stock the same frame in polished chrome and satin nickel, in a shorter three light version, and as round pendants and flush fittings if you want the finish echoed elsewhere in the house. Shades and lamps are chosen separately and are not included.

Are the shades included?

No. This is the frame only, with four E27 lampholders ready for shades of your choice, so you can match a fabric, glass or metal shade to the room.

How long is the bar and how far does it hang down?

The bar is 1200mm long and 80mm wide, with a body height of 210mm. The drop adjusts from 270mm at its shortest to 2270mm at its longest.

What lamps should I use?

Four E27 lamps, each up to 20W. An LED lamp is the sensible choice, and the shape you pick will depend on the shade sitting over it.

Can it be dimmed?

Yes, provided you fit dimmable lamps and a compatible dimmer. Neither the lamps nor a dimmer come with the frame.

Is it suitable for a bathroom?

No. It is rated IP20 and belongs in dry rooms such as dining rooms, kitchens and hallways, away from splashes and steam.

How should I clean the antique gold finish?

Switch off at the wall, let the lamps cool, then dust with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasive creams and chemical polishes, which will lift the aged tone.
