Description
The Emberlyte is a five-light cluster pendant from Ideal Lux that suspends five clear glass globes in varying sizes from a 1070mm polished chrome oval canopy. The globes hang at different heights on individual cables — the largest drops to approximately 180mm below canopy level, the smallest to 275mm — creating a cascading cloud effect when viewed from beneath. Each globe houses a single E27 bulb (sold separately), and the clear glass allows the filament or LED element to be visible as part of the design.
Designed for dining tables in rooms with ceilings of 2.6m or higher, kitchen islands, and double-height entrance halls or stairwells, the Emberlyte works best where the cluster can be viewed from multiple angles. The 1070mm x 600mm canopy footprint suits rectangular dining tables of 1.8-2.4m length and kitchen islands where the pendant can be centred along the worktop run. The IP20 rating restricts it to dry indoor locations only.
The varied globe sizes — ranging from approximately 180mm to 275mm diameter based on the specification heights — prevent the cluster from reading as uniform or repetitive. The polished chrome canopy and cable fittings reflect ambient light and pair with both warm-toned and cool-toned interiors. The clear glass shades allow the full light output from the bulbs to pass through unfiltered, making this a functional light source as well as a decorative feature. Dimmer compatibility depends on the specific E27 bulbs chosen.
Ideal Lux manufactures this fitting in Italy and backs it with a five-year warranty. The cluster design requires a ceiling rose capable of supporting the combined weight of the canopy, five glass globes and five bulbs — typically 4-5kg total — so check structural capacity before installation in older properties or lath-and-plaster ceilings.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Emberlyte take?
The fitting takes five E27 (Edison screw) bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED bulbs between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K. The clear glass shows the bulb and filament, so decorative filament-style LEDs work well if that aesthetic suits the room.
Is it dimmable?
The fitting itself is rated as dimmable. Actual dimmer compatibility depends on the specific E27 bulbs you choose — check the bulb packaging to confirm it supports dimming before pairing with a dimmer switch.
What ceiling height is needed?
The globes drop between 180mm and 275mm below the canopy, so the lowest pendant sits approximately 275mm beneath the ceiling. For a dining table or kitchen island, allow at least 700-800mm clearance above the surface, which typically requires a ceiling height of 2.6m or above.
Can the drop heights be adjusted?
The globes hang at factory-set heights to create the cascading cluster effect. Cable lengths are typically not adjustable on installation, so the relative heights of the five globes remain as designed.
