Nora 5 Light Cluster Pendant - Smoked Glass Chrome & Black Marble

The Nora is a 5-light cluster pendant from Mantra, combining smoked glass cylinder shades with chrome detailing and a black marble-effect canopy. Each of the five glass shades measures approximately 180mm tall and hangs on an independently adjustable cable, allowing the cluster to be configured in a staggered arrangement or aligned to a specific height. The shades house E27 bulb fittings, with bulbs sold separately.

Designed for dining tables, kitchen islands and open-plan living spaces with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above, the Nora provides both ambient and task light depending on bulb choice. The 633mm canopy spread distributes the five pendants across a wide area, suiting tables 1.8-2.4m long or kitchen islands of similar length. The minimum 440mm drop allows the cluster to sit relatively close to the ceiling in lower rooms, while the maximum 2000mm drop accommodates double-height spaces or suspended installations above staircases.

The smoked glass creates a graduated tonal effect when lit, with the light source visible through the tinted cylinder but softened by the glass density. The chrome caps at the top of each shade catch and reflect ambient light, contrasting with the matt black canopy and the black marble-effect detailing. The marble effect is a printed finish rather than genuine stone, reducing the overall weight to 8.8kg while retaining the visual texture of natural veining. The combination of smoked glass, chrome and black marble pairs with both warm-toned timber interiors and cooler grey or concrete finishes.

The cluster pendant is dimmable when paired with dimmable E27 LED bulbs and a compatible trailing-edge or leading-edge dimmer. Standard E27 LED bulbs at 6-10W and 2700K-3000K provide warm ambient light, while higher-output bulbs at 15-20W increase task light intensity for food preparation or close work.

What bulbs does the Nora take?

The Nora uses five E27 (Edison screw) bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED bulbs between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for ambient dining light, or 15-20W for brighter task lighting over kitchen islands.

Can the drop height of each pendant be adjusted individually?

Yes. Each of the five glass shades hangs on an independently adjustable cable, allowing you to create a staggered cluster or align all five to the same height. Adjustment is made during installation by feeding cable through the canopy.

Is the Nora dimmable?

Yes, when paired with dimmable E27 LED bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. Use a trailing-edge or leading-edge dimmer rated for the total wattage of all five bulbs. Check bulb packaging to confirm dimmer compatibility before purchasing.

What size dining table or island does this suit?

The 633mm canopy spread distributes the five pendants across a wide area, working best above tables or islands between 1.8m and 2.4m long. For narrower tables under 1.6m, the cluster may overhang the edges; for longer islands above 2.6m, consider two smaller pendants instead.
