{"product_id":"hive-4-light-drum-pendant-black-gold","title":"Hive 4 Light Drum Pendant - Black \u0026 Gold","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hive is a 500mm drum pendant light with a black fabric shade wrapped around a gold PVC inner lining, suspended from a matt black painted metal frame on three steel cables. Four E27 bulb fittings inside the drum provide direct downward light through the base aperture and indirect upward light into the ceiling void, while the gold interior reflects warm tones back through the black fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for dining tables, kitchen islands and central living room positions where both task and ambient light are needed, the Hive sits 280mm tall (shade body only, excluding suspension cables). The 500mm diameter makes it suitable for tables up to 1.6m long or kitchen islands where the pendant is the primary light source. The pendant is dimmable when paired with suitable E27 dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch, allowing output to be adjusted from full brightness for meal preparation to lower levels for dining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe black fabric outer diffuses light while the gold PVC inner acts as a reflector, creating contrast between the dark external appearance and the warm glow visible from below and through the weave of the fabric. The matt black frame and canopy sit flush with dark ceilings or provide contrast against white ceilings. The shade body is rigid rather than collapsible, maintaining a clean drum profile without sagging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal Lux manufactures the Hive in Italy and backs it with a 5-year warranty. The IP20 rating limits it to dry indoor use — not suitable for bathrooms or outdoor covered areas with moisture exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e280\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimmable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber Of Bulbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBulb Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eE27\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 Years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat bulbs does the Hive require?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hive takes four E27 (Edison screw) bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair it with warm-white LED bulbs between 6-10W each for dining and living room use. Total wattage depends on the bulbs chosen — a typical setup with four 8W LEDs gives approximately 3,200 lumens combined output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Hive dimmable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, when paired with dimmable E27 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. The pendant itself is dimmable-ready but dimming depends on the bulbs and switch installed on the circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the gold interior visible?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gold PVC lining is visible from below through the open base of the drum and reflects light back through the black fabric, creating a warm glow around the edges of the shade when the bulbs are lit. The contrast between black fabric and gold reflection is most visible at medium to high brightness levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat table size does it suit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 500mm diameter works over dining tables up to 1.6m long or kitchen islands where the pendant provides the primary light source. For longer tables or larger islands, two Hive pendants spaced evenly often give better coverage than a single fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ideal Lux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45732866654475,"sku":"161648","price":176.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/161648_WEB001_NORDIK_SP4_67ab2f9d-dde0-4f12-a4c7-9b4e9568c698.jpg?v=1724720277","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/hive-4-light-drum-pendant-black-gold","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
