Description
The Pearce is a 457mm diameter drum pendant light with an ivory faux silk shade suspended from a polished chrome ceiling canopy on three clear suspension wires. The shade houses three E27 bulb holders behind a gloss white acrylic diffuser at the base, which spreads light evenly across the underside of the drum without visible hot spots.
Designed for dining tables, kitchen islands and living room centres in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above, the Pearce provides ambient overhead lighting across medium-sized spaces. The 2000mm suspension wires are adjustable on installation, allowing the pendant to be set 600-900mm above a dining table or worktop depending on ceiling height. The chrome canopy fits standard UK ceiling roses and the wires conceal the cable run.
The faux silk shade has a visible slub texture that mimics natural raw silk, diffusing light through the fabric to create soft side-glow around the drum perimeter. The ivory tone warms the light output regardless of bulb colour temperature, making the fitting suitable for both warm-white and cool-white LED bulbs. The polished chrome canopy and finial provide reflective accents that pair with modern and transitional interiors without dominating the room when the light is off.
Each of the three E27 sockets accepts bulbs up to 60W, giving a combined maximum load of 180W. Most users pair the Pearce with 6-10W warm-white LED bulbs to achieve comfortable ambient light levels without excessive brightness or heat build-up inside the shade. The gloss white diffuser prevents direct view of the bulbs from below, maintaining a clean appearance when the pendant is positioned at eye level in open-plan spaces.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Pearce take?
The pendant has three E27 (Edison screw) sockets, each rated up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users choose 6-10W warm-white LED bulbs at 2700K-3000K for ambient dining or living room lighting.
Can the drop height be adjusted after installation?
The suspension wires are adjustable during installation only. Once the pendant is wired and the ceiling canopy is fixed in place, the drop height cannot be changed without dismantling the fitting and re-threading the wires.
What ceiling height is needed?
The 2000mm suspension wires suit ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. For a dining table the pendant typically hangs 700-800mm above the surface, which requires a minimum ceiling height of around 2.5m to avoid the fitting sitting too low in the room.
How is the fabric shade cleaned?
The faux silk shade can be dusted with a soft brush or microfibre cloth. For stubborn marks, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water is acceptable, but avoid soaking the fabric. Do not use household sprays or chemical cleaners, as they may stain or damage the material.
