Lidia 40cm LED Pendant Light 12W 3000K - Matt Gold

The Lidia is a 40cm diameter pendant light with a shallow curved metal shade in matt gold, housing a single integrated 12W LED rated at 1500lm and 3000K. The shade sits on a central metal stem that conceals the cable run, suspended from a matching matt gold ceiling rose. The shallow curvature directs light downwards while the underside diffuser softens the beam spread to reduce glare.

Designed for dining tables, kitchen islands and hallways where focused downlight is needed without excessive ceiling height, the Lidia suits rooms of 2.4m or above. The drop is adjustable between 400mm minimum and 1800mm maximum on installation, allowing the pendant to be set at the appropriate height for the space. Over a dining table the shade typically sits 700-850mm above the surface, while over a kitchen island 900-1100mm is common to keep the pendant out of sightlines.

The matt gold finish provides a warm metallic accent that pairs with brass hardware, warm timber tones and neutral colour schemes. The 3000K colour temperature matches conventional warm-white halogen lamps, producing a yellow-toned light that flatters skin tones and food presentation. At 1500lm the output is comparable to a 100W incandescent bulb, giving sufficient brightness for a 1.6-2m dining table or a 2-2.5m section of kitchen island without needing multiple pendants.

The pendant weighs 2.6kg when installed, requiring a standard ceiling rose capable of supporting that load. The integrated LED is non-dimmable and non-replaceable, with a rated lifespan typical of integrated LED fittings (usually 15,000-25,000 hours depending on manufacturer specification).

Is the Lidia dimmable?

No. The integrated LED is non-dimmable and should not be connected to a dimmer switch. Attempting to dim the fitting may cause flicker or damage to the LED driver.

What table size does it suit?

The 40cm diameter and 1500lm output suit dining tables between 1.6-2m in length, or a 2-2.5m section of kitchen island. Larger tables or islands typically need multiple pendants spaced 1.2-1.5m apart.

Can the LED be replaced?

No. The LED is integrated into the fitting and is not user-replaceable. The rated lifespan is typically 15,000-25,000 hours depending on Mantra's specification for this model. At 3 hours per day, this equates to 13-22 years of use.

What ceiling height is needed?

The pendant works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. With a 400mm minimum drop plus the shade depth, the fitting sits approximately 500-600mm down from the ceiling at its shortest configuration. Over a dining table or island, the drop is typically extended to 1000-1400mm to position the shade 700-1100mm above the surface.
