Lyria 50cm Globe Glass Light Shade - Amber

The Lyria globe is a large amber glass light shade, a full sphere 50cm across and 50cm tall, with a single round opening where it joins its suspension set. What you receive is the glass shade alone. It needs the range's large E27 pendant suspension set, sold separately and listed by the maker as required, before it becomes a working light. No bulb is included either, so plan both into the same order. At 2.6KG this is a substantial piece of glass, which is worth knowing when you decide where the finished pendant will hang.

A globe of this size suits rooms with the space to let one generous form carry the scheme: over a dining table, in a stairwell or a double-height hallway, or above a kitchen island where a single large pendant does the work of several small ones. The amber tone sits comfortably with warm woods, brass, terracotta and other earthy colours, and it brings a note of warmth to a pale or white room. It is also the part to order when the glass on an existing large Lyria pendant has been chipped or broken, because the shade comes on its own and your suspension set can stay where it is.

The shade is a single piece of amber glass with a smooth, glossy surface and a paler rim around its opening, where the tint thins. Amber glass tints the light that passes through it, so the room takes on a softer, warmer cast than it would under clear glass. The shade itself carries no electrical parts: the light comes from the bulb you choose for the suspension set, and that set, as a mains product, is installed by a qualified electrician. Order the large suspension set and a bulb alongside the globe, and the pendant is complete when it arrives.

Does the shade come with a suspension set or a bulb?

No. You receive the amber glass globe only. The range's large E27 pendant suspension set and a bulb are sold separately, and you need both for a working light.

Which suspension set does this globe fit?

It fits the range's large E27 pendant suspension set, which is sold separately and which the maker lists as required for this shade.

How big is the amber globe shade?

It is a full sphere 50cm across and 50cm tall, so it suits rooms with plenty of space around it, such as a dining room, a stairwell or an open hallway.

How heavy is the glass shade?

The glass globe weighs 2.6KG on its own. That is a substantial weight, and it is worth keeping in mind when you plan where the pendant will hang.

Can I replace a broken shade without changing my suspension set?

Yes. The globe is sold on its own as a replacement, so a chipped or broken shade on a large Lyria pendant can be changed while the suspension set stays in place.

What colour is the glass?

The glass is amber, a warm earthy tone with a glossy surface and a paler rim around the opening, and it gives the light passing through it a warmer cast.
