Lori E27 3 Light Wine Pendant Light 80mm Amber - Polished Chrome

Three amber shades hang from a slim polished chrome bar, each drawn in at the base and flaring open at the mouth like a wine glass set upside down. The bar spans 850mm, so the lights sit close enough to read as one fitting while each shade keeps its own space. Every shade carries its own E27 lamp, and the suspension is adjustable, so the drop can be set short and tight to the ceiling or run long over a table.

We would hang it along a kitchen island, a breakfast bar or the length of a narrow dining table, where a single centre light tends to leave the ends dim. The amber shades warm the light as it passes, which sits well with timber worktops, warm plaster and brass ironmongery, and suits anyone who finds a plain white ceiling light a little cold. With suitable lamps and a dimmer it will dim, so the same fitting can move from working light to something quieter over dessert. We would fit an LED lamp chosen to suit the shade, rated no higher than 20W.

Polished chrome keeps the bar bright, and it is the part that shows handling, so an occasional pass with a dry duster keeps the shine even and a barely damp cloth lifts fingerprints, dried off straight away. The shades ask for less than that: dust them gently with the power off and the lamps cold, and leave the harsher cleaners alone. It carries a one year warranty. The same amber wine shade appears on a single light flush fitting in polished chrome elsewhere in the range, with antique gold versions and other shade shapes alongside it, which helps if you want a smaller fitting to answer this one in a hall or on a landing. Lamps are not included.

How far down can it hang?

The drop adjusts from 270mm at its shortest to 2270mm at its longest, so it can sit tight under a low ceiling or fall a long way over an island or stairwell.

How wide is the fitting overall?

The bar runs 850mm long and each shade is 80mm across, which keeps the whole thing slim for a narrow table or a run of worktop.

What lamps does it take?

Three E27 lamps, up to 20W each. LED is the sensible choice, and it is worth picking a lamp shape that suits the shade so the amber reads evenly.

Can I put it on a dimmer?

Yes, provided you use dimmable lamps and a compatible dimmer. Neither the lamps nor a dimmer come with it.

Is it suitable for a bathroom?

No. It is rated IP20 and belongs in dry rooms such as kitchens, dining rooms and hallways, away from splashes and steam.

How heavy is it?

It weighs 3.3kg without lamps.
