Espardello Clear Glass 6 Light Pendant - Black

The Espardello is a ceiling pendant built around a round black steel canopy, from which clear glass globes hang on fine wires at staggered heights, so the whole fitting reads like a cluster of bubbles caught in mid air. It measures 150cm tall overall and 58cm in diameter. Six integrated LEDs sit in the canopy, each one 4.2W and giving 500 lumens at 3000K, a warm white that suits relaxed evenings. Because the LEDs are integrated, there are no bulbs to buy or change. The IP20 rating settles where it goes: indoors, in a dry room.

We would hang it in a living room, a hallway or a stairwell with generous ceiling height, where the long drop has space and the globes can be seen from several angles. Clear glass lets light through without tinting it, so the globes catch the glow from the canopy. The black canopy keeps the top of the fitting crisp against a pale ceiling and quiet against a dark one. At this length it sits best where people walk beside it rather than beneath it, or over a space where the lowest globe clears heads comfortably. What you gain is a focal point overhead, with light that stays soft and warm.

The body is steel in a black finish and the shades are clear glass, so the look stays light even with so many globes. The pendant is dimmable and has no switch of its own, so you control it from the wall switch. As a mains light wired into the ceiling, it is installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions come as a download. Its packed weight is 11.26KG, worth knowing when you plan who lifts the box. Once it is fitted, dimming it down gives a gentle, warm glow for quiet late evenings, and bringing it back up gives the room its full light again.
