Description
The Larncombe large pendant hangs a 500mm multicoloured Tiffany-style leaded glass shade from a metal fitting, with a drop that adjusts between 520mm and 1360mm. Three 60W E27 GLS bulbs light it, which is what gives a shade this wide an even glow rather than a bright centre, and bulbs are supplied separately. The panels are cut and leaded individually, so the colour lives in the glass and the pattern reads unlit as well as lit. It weighs 3.2kg and is a Class 1 fitting, wired with an earth.
At 500mm across with three bulbs, this is a main ceiling light rather than an accent. It suits a dining table, a wide hall, a kitchen island or a sitting room that needs one strong source overhead. Over a dining surface, hang it around 750mm to 900mm above the table so the glass sits in view and the light spreads across the top. The long adjustment range covers standard and taller ceilings, and the three-bulb output means you can run it low in the evening and still see the pattern.
The shade is leaded glass in a metal frame with matching suspension, and the flex can be set to length at installation. Dust it with a dry soft cloth, use a barely damp cloth for marks, and dry the lead lines afterwards. Avoid solvents, ammonia-based sprays and abrasive creams. It is rated IP20, so keep it to dry indoor rooms. With dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer the level can be dropped right down. A Larncombe floor lamp, table lamp and wall light carry the same glass through the rest of the room.

Frequently Asked
Why does it take three bulbs?
A 500mm shade lit by one bulb shows a bright centre. Three 60W E27 GLS bulbs spread the light so the whole panel of glass glows evenly.
What drop can I set?
Between 520mm and 1360mm, with the flex shortened at installation, so it works over a table, in a hall or on a taller ceiling.
What is the shade made from?
Multicoloured leaded glass in the Tiffany style, cut into panels and joined with lead, held in a metal frame.
How high above a table should it hang?
Around 750mm to 900mm of clearance above the tabletop keeps the glass in view without cutting across sightlines.
How do I clean it?
Dust with a dry soft cloth, use a barely damp cloth on marks, then dry the lead lines. Keep solvents, ammonia-based sprays and abrasive creams away.
