Lyria 50cm Globe Glass Light Shade - White

This is the Lyria globe light shade: a full sphere of white glass, 50cm across and 50cm tall. It is the shade alone. It hangs from the range's large E27 pendant suspension set, which is sold separately and which the maker lists as required, and the bulb is not included either. On its own the globe is not a complete light, so if you are starting from scratch, add the suspension set and an E27 bulb to the same order. If the Lyria set is already in place, this is the replacement for a globe that has been chipped, cracked or broken.

A globe half a metre across is a generous piece of glass, and it reads best where it has room: hung over a dining table, in the centre of a living room, or in a hall or stairwell with height to spare. Because a sphere is the same shape from every angle, it looks just as good from the sofa as from the stairs, which suits a room seen from several sides. Choose it when you want one large, simple form to anchor a space instead of a cluster of smaller lights, and when you prefer a shade that stays quiet in daylight and glows once the lamp is lit.

The globe weighs 3.66KG, which makes it a substantial shade, so it is worth having a second pair of hands when it is lifted into position. Glass does not yellow with age, so the white keeps its colour for the life of the shade, and glass is easy to wipe clean once the bulb has cooled. The suspension set that carries it is a mains product and is installed by a qualified electrician. Before you order, check that your existing set is the range's large E27 version, because that is the set this 50cm globe is made to fit.

Does the Lyria globe shade come with the suspension set and bulb?

No. You receive the white glass globe only. The range's large E27 pendant suspension set is sold separately and the maker lists it as required, and the bulb is not included either.

How big is the 50cm globe glass shade?

It is a full sphere 50cm across and 50cm tall, and it weighs 3.66KG, so it suits a room with space around it and some height.

Which suspension set does this globe fit?

It is made for the range's large E27 pendant suspension set. That set is sold separately, and the maker lists it as required to hang this shade.

What bulb does the globe shade take?

The shade itself holds no lamp. The bulb goes in the range's large E27 suspension set, so you need an E27 bulb, which is not included.

Can I replace a broken globe on my existing Lyria pendant?

Yes, provided your pendant hangs on the range's large E27 suspension set, which is the set this 50cm white glass globe is made to fit.

What colour is the glass?

The globe is white glass, and because glass does not yellow with age, it keeps the same clean white for as long as you have it.
