Manhattan 3 Light Pendant Light Black Patterned Shade - Polished Chrome

The Manhattan is a 500mm diameter drum pendant housing three GU10 bulbs behind a black fabric shade printed with bold white abstract line motifs. The shade wraps around a polished chrome circular frame, with a frosted white diffuser inside softening the downward light output. The chrome canopy and adjustable cable allow the pendant to hang between 500mm and 2000mm from the ceiling.

Designed for dining tables, kitchen islands and living spaces with ceiling heights above 2.4m, the Manhattan works where both ambient and decorative function are needed. The 500mm diameter suits tables 1.2-1.8m long or kitchen islands up to 2m, typically hung 700-900mm above the surface. The graphic pattern on the shade creates visual interest when the light is off, while the frosted diffuser inside prevents harsh glare when lit.

The polished chrome frame brings reflective detail to contemporary and minimalist interiors, while the black-and-white pattern on the shade introduces contrast without needing colour. The three GU10 bulbs (included) provide 45W total output at 2700K warm white. The shade's cylindrical form diffuses light evenly around the fitting rather than concentrating it downward, so the pendant acts as ambient rather than task lighting. At 3.2kg the fitting requires secure ceiling fixings on standard UK ceiling roses.

Are the bulbs included?

Yes. The Manhattan ships with three GU10 bulbs rated at 2700K warm white and 45W combined output. The bulbs are not dimmable and are replaceable with standard GU10 fittings if needed in future.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 500-2000mm adjustable drop means the pendant can be set to suit most ceiling heights. For a dining table or kitchen island, the pendant typically hangs 700-900mm above the surface, which works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above.

Can the shade pattern be seen when the light is on?

Yes. The white abstract line pattern remains visible when the light is on, though it becomes less pronounced as the internal diffuser glows. The pattern is most striking when the light is off during daylight.

Is the pendant suitable for low ceilings?

At 500mm minimum drop, the Manhattan can work in rooms with standard UK ceiling heights of 2.4m, though it suits higher ceilings better. The 500mm shade diameter also needs adequate clearance from walls and furniture to avoid visual crowding.
