Description
A bare holder on a length of black flex, this is lighting pared back to what it actually needs to be. The holder measures 10cm across and is finished in matt black, with black cable to match, so the fitting reads as a single dark line from ceiling to lamp. There is nothing here to hide a lamp, which is rather the point. It takes an E27 lamp of up to 20W, and it will dim if you pair a dimmable lamp with a compatible dimmer. The shade is fitted by the customer and is not included: see our lamp shades.
With up to 1.5m of flex, it can hang low over an island or a worktop, or sit higher in a hallway or above a stairwell. Hung in a row along a breakfast bar it gives an even rhythm of light; on its own beside a bed it takes up almost no visual room. It suits anyone who wants the lamp itself to do the talking, whether that is a big opal globe, a filament lamp or a smoked glass one. We also reach for it when a shade has already been chosen and all that is wanted underneath is a plain, well made holder.
The finish is a flat black with no shine to it, which wears well in kitchens where cooking grease tends to find gloss first. For upkeep, turn the power off, let the lamp go cold, then run a dry cloth over the holder and along the cable to lift dust. It is meant for dry rooms indoors, on a normal household supply. It carries a two year warranty, and lamps are not included. The same holder also appears in the range as a ceiling light in matt white, antique brass, polished chrome, satin nickel and several other finishes, and there are curved linear and curved round frame pendants if you want a longer arrangement over a table.

Frequently Asked
How far can it hang down?
The drop is adjustable from 120mm up to 1500mm, so it works both as a short drop in a low room and as a long one over a table or stair void.
How heavy a shade can it carry?
The maximum load is 1.5kg, which covers most glass and metal shades made for an E27 holder. Check the weight of any shade before you commit to it. Choose one from our lamp shades.
Which lamp should I use?
Any E27 LED lamp up to 20W. Because the holder is left bare, a decorative lamp such as a globe or filament style tends to look best.
Is it dimmable?
Yes, provided you fit a dimmable lamp and a dimmer switch rated to suit it.
Can I use it in a bathroom or outside?
No. It is rated IP20, so keep it to dry indoor rooms away from splashes.
How do I clean the flex?
Wipe along the cable with a dry cloth with the power off. Avoid solvents and sprays, which can mark the matt black finish.
