Description
The Pyleford pendant is a wide brass disc with a hammered surface, 500mm across, that throws its light down rather than out. The hammering breaks up reflections so the metal reads as warm and textured instead of flat and polished, and the shallow dome shape keeps the profile low even at that width. A single E27 screw fit lamp rated at 10W sits under the disc, and the drop adjusts from 300mm to 1500mm, which covers a low ceiling and a full height room. It is dimmable with a dimmable lamp and a compatible dimmer switch.
A downward throwing ceiling light like this is the right tool over a surface: a kitchen island, a dining table, a desk or a console. Because the shade is solid metal the light lands where you point it rather than filling the room, so it gives good working light on a worktop and keeps glare out of the eyes of anyone sitting opposite. That focus makes it worth pairing with wall lights or lamps for general light in the evening. Brass suits oak, deep green, off white and stone, and the wide shallow form works in both plain modern rooms and older houses.
The disc and ceiling plate are metal with a hammered brass finish, and the fitting needs an earthed supply at the ceiling. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms. For care, switch off at the wall, let the lamp cool, then dust the outside with a soft dry cloth and use a barely damp cloth on marks, keeping brass polish and abrasive creams away so the hammered texture keeps its depth. We would hang it around 800mm above a table top and a little lower over an island to make the most of the downward light.

Frequently Asked
What is the shade made from?
Metal in a hammered brass finish, formed as a wide shallow disc 500mm across.
Which way does the light go?
Downwards. The shade is solid, so it lights the surface below rather than spreading light around the room.
How do I clean the hammered finish?
Isolate the power, let the lamp cool, then dust with a soft dry cloth and lift marks with a barely damp one. Avoid polish and abrasive creams.
Which lamp does it take?
One E27 screw fit lamp rated at 10W.
Is it dimmable?
Yes, with a dimmable lamp and a compatible dimmer switch.
How high should I hang it?
Around 800mm above a table top, slightly lower over an island. The drop adjusts between 300mm and 1500mm.
