Malcolm 1 Light Cage Pendant Light - Black & Gold with Clear Glass

The Malcolm is a 31cm cage pendant light built around a cylindrical clear glass shade enclosed by a black and gold wirework frame with decorative scrollwork at the canopy. A single E27 bulb sits inside the glass cylinder, with the clear shade allowing full light dispersion while the metal cage casts fine shadow patterns when lit.

Designed for kitchen islands, hallways and dining areas with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above, the Malcolm hangs on a chain that adjusts from 550mm to 2000mm drop during installation. The glass cylinder sits inside the wirework cage rather than outside it, so the metal frame defines the visual silhouette and the glass acts as a protective liner and diffuser. The black finish carries hints of gold patina where the wire loops and joints meet, giving the frame a hand-worked appearance rather than a uniform factory coating.

The 31cm diameter provides substantial presence over a worktop or in a hallway without dominating smaller rooms. At 2.8kg the pendant has enough weight to hang stable on the chain without swaying under air movement. The Malcolm accepts any E27 bulb up to 60W (sold separately), so you can pair it with a warm-white LED for ambient use or a visible-filament bulb to add decorative interest inside the cage. Dimmable with suitable bulbs and a compatible dimmer.

What bulb does the Malcolm take?

The pendant takes a single E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W, sold separately. Most users pair it with a warm-white LED or a decorative visible-filament bulb to add visual interest inside the cage.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, when paired with a dimmable E27 bulb and a compatible dimmer switch. Dimmer compatibility depends on the specific bulb and dimmer model chosen.

What ceiling height is needed?

The minimum drop of 550mm plus the 31cm pendant height requires a ceiling height of approximately 2.4m or above for safe head clearance. The chain can be shortened during installation if needed, and extends to a maximum 2000mm for taller spaces.

How is the glass shade cleaned?

The clear glass cylinder can be wiped with a soft cloth and a dilute glass cleaner. The wirework frame should be dusted with a dry microfibre cloth. Avoid harsh chemical sprays on the black and gold finish to preserve the patina.
