Description
The Newtown is a pendant light with an open cage of black steel wires that swell out from a narrow top and draw in again towards a small ring at the base, a little like an acorn. The cage is 16cm in diameter and the light measures 110cm high overall, hanging on a slim black cord from a round black ceiling rose. Inside sits a single E27 bulb holder that takes a bulb of up to 60W; the bulb is not included, so you can choose the one you like best. It is rated IP20, which means it belongs in dry rooms indoors.
Because the cage is open, the bulb stays in view and becomes part of the look, so it is worth picking a clear filament bulb with a warm glow. At 16cm across, the shade is compact enough to hang over a desk in a home office, beside a bed, in a hallway or on a landing, and a few hung in a row work nicely over a dining table or a breakfast bar. The black finish suits an industrial scheme, sits comfortably against pale walls and natural timber, and pairs well with other black metal in the room. For anyone who wants a pendant that feels light and airy rather than heavy, this is a sound choice.
The body is steel in a black finish, and it weighs 0.771KG packed, so it is easy to handle. There is no switch on the light itself: it is switched at the wall, from the switch you already have. It runs on a 220-240V, 50/60Hz supply, and as a wired mains light, it should be installed by a qualified electrician. The installation instructions come as a download, so your electrician can read them beforehand. All you need to add is an E27 bulb of up to 60W, and the wire cage does the rest.
