Description
Red runs right through this one: a 90mm plastic ceiling base and a soft silicone cover over the E27 lampholder, joined by flex that can be set anywhere up to 1.5m. It is a single pendant in its plainest form, with no shade and nothing to draw the eye away from the lamp itself. The colour is a proper bold red rather than a muted terracotta, and the silicone cover gives the holder a slightly rounded, tactile look.
We reach for these where a room wants a few drops instead of a central fitting: over a kitchen island, in a row along a breakfast bar, or paired either side of a bed. The bare-lamp look suits a decorative squirrel cage or a globe, and it takes a shade of your own just as happily. Because the drop shortens as well as lengthens, it works in a low hallway as well as a tall stairwell. Dimming is possible with a compatible lamp and dimmer, and an LED up to 20W is what we would put in it.
The base is moulded plastic, double insulated, and light enough to feel unfussy overhead. Colour goes through the moulding rather than sitting on top as a sprayed coat, so scuffs will not show pale underneath. To clean, switch off, let the lamp go cold, then run a dry cloth over the base and give the silicone cover a wipe. It carries a two year warranty. The same fitting appears in the range as a ceiling light in matt black, matt white and a set of metal finishes including antique brass, polished chrome and pewter, and there are curved frame pendants if you want something wider across. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
How long is the flex, and can I shorten it?
The drop is adjustable between 180mm and 1500mm, so you can hang it close to the ceiling or take it right down over a worktop.
Which lamp does it take?
One E27 lamp, rated to a maximum of 20W. LED is the type we would choose here.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided you pair a dimmable lamp with a compatible dimmer switch.
Is the red on the silicone cover as well as the base?
Yes. The 90mm plastic base and the silicone lampholder cover are both red, so the whole visible fitting reads as one colour.
Will it take a shade?
It will. It is designed to work bare, but an E27 shade with the correct fitting can be added if you prefer a softer light.
Where should it not be used?
It is rated IP20, so keep it to dry rooms and away from splashes, showers and anything outdoors.
