{"product_id":"hive-6-light-drum-pendant-black-gold","title":"Hive 6 Light Drum Pendant - Black \u0026 Gold","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hive is a 600mm drum pendant light with a black fabric-covered shade over a gold PVC sheet lining, suspended on three fine cables from a matt black metal canopy. The pendant houses six E27 bulb fittings arranged in two rows inside the shade, with the gold interior reflecting and amplifying the light downwards and outwards through the fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for dining tables, kitchen islands and living areas where ambient and task lighting overlap, the Hive provides diffused illumination across a 2-3m table or worktop. The 600mm diameter and 370mm height suit rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above, with the pendant typically positioned 700-800mm above the table surface. The IP20 rating confines the fitting to dry indoor spaces only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe matt black metal frame and black fabric exterior present a neutral silhouette under daylight, with the gold PVC interior only revealing itself when the bulbs are lit. This contrast between the dark outer shade and warm metallic glow creates depth in the light pattern, particularly noticeable on surrounding walls and ceilings. The fabric diffuses the bulb points into a soft ambient wash while the gold lining maintains warmth in the colour temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach E27 socket accepts LED, halogen or filament bulbs up to 60W (bulbs sold separately), giving control over total wattage, colour temperature and dimming compatibility. The pendant is dimmable when paired with compatible bulbs and a suitable dimmer switch. The 5-year warranty from Ideal Lux covers manufacturing defects in the metal frame, cable suspension and socket assembly.\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\u003e600\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e370\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\u003e6\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 take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pendant has six E27 (Edison screw) fittings, each accepting bulbs up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with six warm-white LED bulbs between 6-10W each and 2700K-3000K colour temperature for ambient dining or kitchen island lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Hive dimmable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, provided you use dimmable bulbs and install a compatible dimmer switch. The pendant itself supports dimming — the bulb and dimmer pairing determines whether dimming functions correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat height should it hang above a dining table?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard recommendation is 700-800mm between the table surface and the bottom of the shade. This provides adequate head clearance for diners while keeping the light source close enough to illuminate the table effectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the black fabric shade be cleaned?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fabric exterior can be dusted with a soft brush or microfibre cloth. For stubborn marks, a barely-damp cloth is acceptable, but avoid soaking the fabric or using sprays and chemical cleaners that may damage the PVC lining underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ideal Lux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45732866687243,"sku":"161662","price":235.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/161662_WEB001_NORDIK_SP6_ffe48e7c-30a6-4da2-82fa-fdf444c90966.jpg?v=1724720341","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/hive-6-light-drum-pendant-black-gold","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
