Galaxia 12cm Square Concrete Pendant Light - White & Grey

The Galaxia is a 12cm square concrete pendant light with a grey cement shade suspended from a white powder-coated metal canopy on a fabric-wrapped cable. The shade is cast from concrete, giving it a raw surface texture with visible pour lines and tonal variation inherent to the material. An E27 bulb fitting sits inside the concrete cube, with the bulb visible beneath the open base of the shade when viewed from below.

Designed for kitchen islands, dining tables, hallways and bathroom vanities where industrial-textured materials suit the interior scheme, the Galaxia provides downward-focused task light beneath the shade and ambient glow from the exposed bulb. The cable is adjustable between 210mm minimum drop and 3210mm maximum, allowing installation over worktops in standard 2.4m ceiling-height kitchens or as a long-drop statement piece in double-height entrance halls. The pendant suits single installation over a breakfast bar or cluster arrangements above dining tables.

The grey cement finish shows the natural colour of the aggregate and binder, with each piece displaying different mottling and surface texture depending on how the concrete settled in the mould. The white metal canopy provides a clean ceiling line that contrasts with the raw material beneath. The 0.9kg weight requires secure ceiling fixing — the canopy fits standard UK ceiling roses and conceals the cable entry point.

What bulb does the Galaxia take?

The pendant takes a standard E27 bulb, sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED globe bulb between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K to balance the industrial material with warm light. The bulb is visible beneath the open base of the concrete shade, so globe or filament-style bulbs suit the aesthetic better than candle or reflector shapes.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, provided you use a dimmable E27 bulb and pair the circuit with a compatible dimmer switch. The pendant itself has no built-in dimming control — dimmer compatibility depends on the bulb and switch chosen.

Does the concrete finish vary between pieces?

Yes. Each shade is cast from concrete, so surface texture, mottling and tonal variation differ between individual pieces depending on how the material settled in the mould. This is a feature of the material, not a defect.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 210mm minimum drop suits standard 2.4m ceiling heights when hung above a worktop or table. For double-height spaces the cable extends to 3210mm maximum, though most installations use 800-1500mm drops depending on the ceiling height and surface below.
