Ciampino Glass Linear Pendant Light - Black

The Ciampino is a glass linear pendant light that brings four lights together on one black steel ceiling bar. Four slim black cords drop from the bar to four barrel-shaped shades in grey vaporised glass, and inside each one sits a white diffuser that softens the bulb, so the smoked outer glass glows gently instead of glaring. The fitting is 97.5cm long, 15cm wide and 110cm high overall, a length that suits a long dining table or a kitchen island. Each shade takes an E27 bulb of up to 28W, and the bulbs are not included, which leaves the brightness and colour temperature to you. It is rated IP20, so it belongs indoors in rooms that stay dry.

A linear pendant is at its best over a long surface, and the four shades line up along a kitchen island, a breakfast bar or a dining table. The black bar and dark grey glass sit comfortably in a modern kitchen or an open-plan space, and the smoked glass still looks good in daylight before the bulbs are lit. Because the light passes through a white diffuser first, the people sitting beneath it see a soft glow rather than the glare of a bare bulb. For a household that cooks, eats and works at one surface, a single fitting lights the lot.

The body is steel in a black finish, and the shades are grey vaporised glass. The fitting has no switch of its own: it is switched at the wall, so it runs from your existing light switch on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains. As a wired-in mains light, it is installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions are available to download. Packed, it weighs 4.408KG. Glass shows dust and fingerprints, so a soft, dry cloth keeps the shades clear. For an even line of light along the table, we suggest four matching E27 bulbs of up to 28W each.
