Kriss 24cm Cylinder Glass Pendant Light - Bronze

The Kriss is a 24cm diameter cylindrical glass pendant light with a bronze-tinted outer shade and an inner funnel-shaped diffuser, housing a single GU10 bulb fitting (bulb sold separately). The bronze glass filters and warms the light from the bulb, while the funnel diffuser sits inside the cylinder to direct light downward and create layered depth when lit.

Designed for installation above kitchen islands, breakfast bars, dining counters and hallways, the Kriss works well in multiples spaced 600-800mm apart to create rhythm along a linear surface. The 240mm diameter gives enough visual presence for individual installations over a side table or bedside position without overwhelming smaller rooms. The drop is adjustable between 400mm and 1800mm on installation, allowing the pendant to be set at the right height for different ceiling configurations and room functions.

The bronze-tinted glass gives the shade a warm metallic tone under both daylight and artificial light, filtering cooler LED temperatures into warmer ambient output. The funnel diffuser inside the cylinder creates a gradient of light intensity from top to bottom, visible through the tinted glass when the fitting is lit. The complete pendant weighs 0.9kg including the glass shade, canopy and cable, fitting standard UK ceiling roses without additional structural support.

The Kriss is dimmable when paired with a dimmable GU10 bulb and compatible dimmer switch. The GU10 socket accepts standard mains-voltage LED and halogen bulbs, giving flexibility to choose bulb wattage and colour temperature to suit the installation.

What bulb does the Kriss take?

The fitting takes a standard GU10 mains-voltage bulb up to 50W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a 5-7W LED GU10 in warm white (2700K-3000K) for ambient lighting, or a brighter 10W output for task lighting over kitchen counters.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, when fitted with a dimmable GU10 bulb and connected to a compatible dimmer switch. The specification states 'Yes - Suitable Lamps & Dimmer Required', meaning both the bulb and dimmer must support dimming function.

What drop height works best for a kitchen island?

For a kitchen island or breakfast bar, the pendant typically sits 700-900mm above the worktop surface. With a standard 2.4m ceiling height, setting the drop between 1200-1500mm achieves this. The drop is adjustable between 400mm and 1800mm during installation.

Can it be installed in multiples?

Yes. The 240mm diameter and compact cylindrical form suits multiple installations spaced 600-800mm apart along a kitchen island, dining bar or hallway. Three Kriss pendants over a 2m island is a common configuration.
