Carter 1 Light Pendant - Matte White With Brass Accents

The Carter is a 203mm diameter conical pendant light with a matte white powder-coated steel shade and burnished brass accents at the canopy, rod and base trim. The lower section of the cone features fine vertical perforations that allow downward light to spill through in narrow beams, creating a soft pattern on surfaces below while the main E27 bulb provides general task or ambient light.

Designed for kitchen islands, dining tables and entrance halls with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above, the Carter pairs a clean mid-century silhouette with functional light distribution. The 1561mm maximum drop allows the pendant to be set 700-900mm above a worktop or dining surface depending on ceiling height, while the 646mm minimum drop suits lower ceilings or applications where a shorter suspension is needed. The drop is adjustable on installation by shortening the rod and cable run.

The matte white finish on the steel shade absorbs glare and pairs cleanly with white, grey and neutral-toned interiors, while the burnished brass detailing at the canopy and base adds warmth without dominating the overall form. The perforations at the base serve both decorative and functional roles, breaking up the solid cone shape and allowing some downward light scatter to reduce harsh shadows under the fitting. The E27 socket accepts any standard Edison screw bulb up to 60W, giving flexibility to choose LED, halogen or filament bulbs depending on the desired light temperature and brightness.

What bulb does the Carter take?

The Carter takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for general ambient or task lighting over dining and kitchen surfaces.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 1561mm maximum drop is adjustable on installation. For a kitchen island or dining table the pendant typically sits 700-900mm above the surface, which works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. Lower ceilings can accommodate the Carter if the rod is shortened to the 646mm minimum drop during fitting.

What do the perforations do?

The vertical slots at the base of the cone allow downward light to escape in narrow beams, creating a soft pattern on the surface below and reducing harsh shadows directly under the fitting. They also add visual interest to the conical form when the light is off.

Can multiple Carters be installed together?

Yes. The Carter is often installed in pairs or threes above kitchen islands or dining tables. Spacing of 600-900mm between pendants is typical for a balanced visual rhythm and even light distribution across the surface below.
