Kilda 9.5cm Recessed LED Pendant Light 10W 3000K - Gold

The Kilda is a 9.5cm recessed LED pendant light with an integrated 10W LED delivering 800 lumens at 3000K warm white. The cylindrical brushed gold housing sits partially recessed into the ceiling through a 50mm aperture, with a white opal glass sphere suspended on a thin cable below. The gold canopy and upper hemisphere create the recessed profile, while the sphere itself hangs 140mm to 2500mm below ceiling level depending on cable adjustment.

Designed for semi-recessed installation rather than surface-mount, the Kilda suits rooms with accessible ceiling voids where the 50mm cut-out can be made. The recessed profile reduces visual clutter on low ceilings while the suspended sphere provides focused downlight and ambient glow. Typical applications include hallway runs, bedroom bedside positions, kitchen breakfast bar lighting, and feature accent lighting in living rooms. The 800 lumens output is comparable to a 60W incandescent, giving enough light for a 2-3m task zone.

The brushed gold finish on the canopy and hemisphere cap provides a warm metallic accent that pairs with brass, copper and warm timber tones. The white opal glass diffuses the LED source, preventing glare and creating a soft edge to the light pool. The 0.65kg weight sits comfortably on standard plasterboard ceilings with the recessed fixing distributing load through the canopy rather than a single hook. The LED is non-dimmable and runs on 200-240V mains.

What ceiling void depth is needed for installation?

The recessed canopy requires a 50mm ceiling cut-out and at least 60-80mm of accessible void above the ceiling to accommodate the canopy housing and wiring connections. Standard plasterboard ceilings with timber joists typically provide this clearance.

Is the Kilda dimmable?

No. The integrated 10W LED is non-dimmable and runs on standard 200-240V mains. If dimming is required, consider switching to a different pendant style with a dimmable driver or separate bulb holder.

How bright is 800 lumens?

800 lumens is roughly equivalent to a traditional 60W incandescent bulb. This provides enough light for a 2-3m radius task zone, making the Kilda suitable for bedside reading, hallway lighting, or accent positions rather than primary room illumination.

Can the drop height be adjusted after installation?

Yes. The cable drop is adjustable between 140mm and 2500mm. The adjustment is made during installation by shortening or lengthening the cable within the canopy housing. Once the canopy is recessed and sealed, further adjustment requires partial disassembly.
