Larkin 3 Light Lantern Pendant - Brushed Nickel

The Larkin is a 3-light lantern pendant built around an open rectangular cage frame in brushed nickel, measuring 305mm wide by 565mm tall. Three E14 candelabra bulbs sit on a central chandelier-style arm inside the frame, each bulb visible through the open sides of the lantern. The frame is suspended from a circular ceiling canopy via a chain and rod assembly that allows the total drop to be adjusted between 635mm and 2464mm during installation.

Designed for entrance halls, kitchen islands and dining rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or higher, the Larkin suits spaces where a decorative fitting needs to cast light in multiple directions without blocking sightlines. The 305mm width works above a 1.2-1.6m dining table or a single-width kitchen island. The open frame construction means the bulbs themselves become part of the decorative effect, so candle-flame LED bulbs or clear filament styles show well. The 635mm minimum drop positions the lantern 700-800mm above a table surface in a standard 2.4m-ceiling room.

The brushed nickel finish gives a mid-tone metallic surface that sits between bright chrome and darker graphite, pairing with cooler greys, whites and blues as well as warmer neutral palettes. The rectangular frame proportions and linear geometry give the Larkin a more structured appearance than traditional dome or globe lanterns, making it a functional choice for transitional interiors that mix classical lantern form with contemporary finishes. Each E14 socket accepts bulbs up to 60W, though most installations use 4-6W LED candles for equivalent light output at lower running cost.

What bulbs does the Larkin take?

The pendant uses three E14 small Edison screw bulbs, rated up to 60W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most buyers pair this with 4-6W LED candle bulbs in 2700K warm white for a traditional candelabra look, or clear filament LED bulbs where the bulb itself is part of the decorative effect.

What ceiling height is needed?

The adjustable drop ranges from 635mm to 2464mm. For a dining table or kitchen island, the lantern typically hangs 700-800mm above the surface, which works in rooms with 2.4m ceilings or higher. The chain can be shortened during installation to suit lower ceilings.

Is the Larkin dimmable?

Dimmer compatibility depends on the bulbs used. The fitting itself is compatible with dimmer switches when paired with dimmable LED or halogen E14 bulbs. Check the bulb packaging for dimmer compatibility before pairing with a dimmer circuit.

What width table or island does it suit?

The 305mm frame width works best above tables or islands between 1.2m and 1.6m wide. For wider islands or longer dining tables, consider using two Larkin pendants spaced 1-1.2m apart rather than a single fitting.
