Description
Sold as a bare suspension, this is the practical way to hang a single lamp where the lamp itself is what you want seen. The plastic base measures 90mm across and is finished in a mid blue, with a soft silicone cover over the E27 lampholder below it. Flex allows a drop of up to 1.5m, so it can hang low over a worktop or long in a stairwell. It takes an LED lamp up to 20W, and it will dim given a compatible lamp and dimmer.
We keep this for people who have already chosen their lamp: a fat globe, a squirrel cage, a shaped filament with some presence of its own. Hung in a row above a kitchen island or a refectory table, several read as a set with nothing to compete with the glass. On its own it suits a bedside table, a small hallway, a workshop corner or a child's room, where a spot of colour does more good than another metal finish. It is the one we reach for when a shade would only crowd the space.
The base is moulded plastic and very light in the hand, and the silicone cover gives the lampholder a slightly rubbery, forgiving surface. It is double insulated, and should stay in dry rooms well away from steam and splashes. To clean, switch off at the wall, let any lamp cool right down, then run a barely damp cloth over the base and cover and dry it straight after; nothing abrasive, as the blue is a surface you can dull. It carries a two year warranty. Elsewhere in the Dreifa range there are ceiling lights in matt black, matt white, satin nickel, antique brass and polished chrome, along with curved linear and curved round pendant frames for multiple lamps. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What drop can I set?
The flex gives a minimum drop of 180mm and a maximum of 1500mm, so it can be shortened to sit close or let out fully over an island or table.
What lamp does it take, and how powerful can it be?
One E27 lamp, up to 20W. LED lamps of any shape are the sensible choice here.
Can I put it on a dimmer?
Yes, provided both the lamp and the dimmer are dimming compatible. A standard non-dimmable LED lamp will not dim and may flicker.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or a covered porch?
No. It is rated IP20, which means dry indoor rooms only.
How wide is the base?
90mm in diameter, and the whole thing weighs only 0.18kg, so it stays visually light even in a small room.
Will the blue finish fade or mark?
It is a moulded plastic base with a silicone lampholder cover. Keep to a soft, barely damp cloth and avoid solvents or scouring pads and it will hold its colour.
