Lyria 40cm Globe Glass Light Shade - Chrome

The Lyria globe is a full sphere of chrome-finished glass, 40cm across and 40cm high, with a round opening at the top where it meets the lamp holder. It is the shade only. To become a working pendant light it needs the range's large E27 pendant suspension set, which is sold separately and which the maker lists as required. Neither the suspension set nor a bulb comes in the box, so order the suspension set alongside the globe if you do not already own one.

At 40cm across, this is a large globe, sized for a room with space around it: over a dining table, in a generous hallway or above a kitchen island, where one big shape often reads better than several small ones. The mirrored chrome surface picks up the room around it, from the window light to the colours of the furniture, so it holds the eye even when the light is off. It also suits anyone who already owns the suspension set and wants a new look, or who needs to replace a damaged globe with the exact shade the maker pairs with that set.

The globe weighs 1.45KG, a solid piece of glass rather than a lightweight bauble, and the chrome finish runs right around the sphere. The body is glass, and glass does not yellow with age. The globe carries no light source of its own: the lamp holder is part of the suspension set and the bulb is bought separately, so the cap and the choice of bulb are settled by the set. Before ordering, check that the set you have is the large E27 pendant suspension set from the Lyria range, because that is the one the maker lists for this globe.

What do I need to turn this globe into a working pendant light?

How heavy is the glass globe?

The globe weighs 1.45KG. It is a solid glass sphere, so it has real presence rather than feeling like a lightweight bauble.

What finish does the glass have?

The glass carries a mirrored chrome finish all the way round, which reflects the room and the colours in it.

Will it fit a pendant set from a different range?

We list it only for the Lyria range's large E27 pendant suspension set, which the maker names as required. We make no compatibility claim for any other fitting.
