Description
Clear Asfour crystal hangs beneath a black shade, catching whatever light passes through it, while polished chrome holds the whole thing together and keeps it looking bright and uncluttered. The shade is 35cm across, which gives the fitting enough presence to read as the main light in a room without dominating it. Two G9 capsule lamps sit inside, so the glow builds within the shade before spilling down through the crystal. The drop is adjustable when it goes up, so it can hang low over a table or higher where people walk beneath.
We would hang this over a dining table first, set so the crystal sits just below eye level and does its work as you sit down. It suits a bedroom, a landing or an entrance hall with a little ceiling height just as well. Dimming is possible if you want a lower level in the evening, though it needs dimmable capsules and a compatible dimmer, neither of which comes in the box. Keep it to dry rooms indoors, away from shower rooms and anywhere steam or weather could reach the crystal and the chrome.
The crystal is Asfour, cut clear, and the polished chrome frame gives it something reflective to sit against; the black shade tempers the sparkle so the effect is bright rather than busy. For care, switch off at the wall, let the capsules cool, then go over the crystal with a dry microfibre cloth to bring the facets back. Marks on the chrome lift with a barely damp cloth and a dry buff straight after, and no cleaning sprays are needed on any part of it. It carries a one year warranty. This is one we reach for when a plain glass pendant feels too quiet for the room. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What size is the shade?
It measures 350mm in diameter, a medium pendant that works well centred over a table or in a hall.
How low does it hang?
The drop is adjustable from 400mm up to 2000mm, so you can set it to the room rather than work around a fixed length.
Which lamps does it take?
Two G9 capsules, up to 33W each. We would fit LED capsules for the lower running cost and less heat around the crystal.
Can I dim it?
Yes, provided you fit dimmable G9 capsules and pair them with a suitable dimmer switch. A dimmer is not supplied.
What kind of crystal is used?
Asfour crystal in a clear finish, which is what gives the fitting its sparkle under the black shade.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is rated for ordinary dry interiors only, so a bathroom or an exposed porch is not the place for it.
