Description
The Ilmerton is a single hoop pendant in brushed gold plate, fitted with an opal ribbed acrylic diffuser that runs the full circle of the ring. The ribbing breaks up the light so the ring reads as a soft even band rather than a hard line, and the opal finish keeps the LED source hidden behind it. The hoop measures 800mm in diameter and the drop adjusts between 450mm and 1570mm, which covers most ceiling heights from a standard room to a tall open plan space. The LED is built into the fitting, so there is no bulb to fit or replace, and the light is dimmable when wired to a compatible dimmer.
A wide horizontal ring works best where it can be read as a shape, so we would put the Ilmerton above a dining table, a long kitchen island or a coffee table in a double height room. At 800mm across it is a generous size and needs the floor space to match, since over a narrow table it will overhang. The weight is only 2.8kg, which makes it one of the easier large pendants to put up, and it suits people who want a quiet modern ceiling light rather than anything ornate.
Construction is metal for the hoop and suspension with the acrylic diffuser held inside, and the fitting is double insulated, so no earth connection is needed at the ceiling rose. The brushed gold plate has a warm low sheen that sits well with pale timber, off white walls and stone worktops. To clean, switch the light off at the wall and let it cool, then run a dry microfibre cloth around the diffuser. Acrylic scratches more readily than glass, so avoid paper towel, solvents and anything abrasive. A light wipe every few months keeps the opal looking clear, and the Ilmerton also works in pairs over a longer island.

Frequently Asked
What is the Ilmerton hoop made from?
The ring and suspension are metal in a brushed gold plated finish, with an opal ribbed acrylic diffuser inside the hoop.
Does it need a bulb?
No. The LED is built into the fitting, so there is no lamp to buy or replace.
How do I clean an acrylic diffuser?
With the power off and the fitting cool, wipe it with a dry microfibre cloth. Acrylic marks more easily than glass, so avoid paper towel, solvents and abrasive cleaners.
How big is it and how far does it drop?
The hoop is 800mm in diameter and the drop adjusts between 450mm and 1570mm.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, when it is wired to a dimmer that is compatible with LED fittings.
Does it need an earth connection?
No. It is a double insulated Class 2 fitting, so only live and neutral are required at the ceiling.
