Description
Round, plain and quietly bright, this opal white globe measures 40cm across and throws light evenly in all directions rather than pooling it below. It takes a single E27 lamp, and the opal shade keeps the source out of sight so the glow stays soft. The drop can be set short over a worktop or let out for a taller space, and with the right lamp and dimmer the level comes down too. We stock the ball as a pendant in three sizes, and this is the middle of them.
It is rated for outdoor use in sheltered spots, which makes it a good fit for a porch, a covered terrace, a veranda or a garden room. Indoors it works just as happily over a dining table, in a hallway or in a stairwell, where a round shape reads well from every angle. We like them hung in a row at staggered heights along a run of glazing, and it is one we reach for when a shaded pendant would look too fussy. It suits anyone who wants light spread about a space rather than aimed at it.
The finish is opal white through, shade and all, so it reads as one clean shape whether lit or unlit. Wipe it down with a damp cloth once the lamp has gone cold, then dry it off; outdoors it gathers dust and pollen faster than an indoor fitting, so the odd clean keeps the light clear. It carries a one year warranty. The same ball turns up as table lamps for outdoor use as well, so a terrace and a garden path can be worked up from one shape. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What lamp should I use?
One E27 lamp, up to 15W. An LED GLS A60 is the sensible choice here, and a warm white one will keep the opal glowing rather than looking cold.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided you pair a dimmable lamp with a compatible dimmer. Neither the lamp nor the dimmer comes with the pendant.
How far down does it hang?
The drop is adjustable from 450mm to 1900mm, so it can sit close under a porch roof or hang low over a table.
Can it go outside?
Yes, in sheltered positions such as a covered porch or veranda. It is protected against splashing water rather than made for full exposure to driving rain.
How big is the globe and what does it weigh?
The sphere is 400mm in diameter and the fitting weighs 1.7kg.
How do I clean the opal shade?
A damp cloth and a dry one afterwards. Avoid solvents and abrasive creams, which will dull the surface over time.
