Description
The Solana is a 30-light linear suspension built around an oval satin brass frame holding thirty blown glass globes in acid-etched white glass. Each globe houses a G9 bulb (sold separately) and the combined output suits large dining tables, kitchen islands and commercial hospitality spaces needing high ambient light levels across a 1.4m-wide area.
Designed for ceiling heights of 2.7m or above, the Solana suspends from a circular satin brass ceiling plate on an adjustable cable, allowing the 150mm-high frame to be positioned 700-900mm above a table surface or worktop depending on room proportions. The 1430mm length and 930mm width of the oval frame mean the fitting works above rectangular dining tables seating 6-10 people or along the length of a galley kitchen island. The IP20 rating limits use to dry indoor areas only.
The acid-etched treatment on the white glass diffuses the light from each bulb, softening shadows and creating an even spread across the surface below rather than thirty distinct point sources. The satin brass frame adds warmth against the white glass, and the oval geometry keeps the visual mass horizontal rather than creating a heavy drop from the ceiling. At 30 bulbs the total wattage can reach 1,200W if using maximum-rated halogen G9s, though most installations pair the fitting with 3-5W LED G9 bulbs for a combined output of 90-150W and lower running costs.
The Solana is dimmable when paired with appropriate G9 dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. The frame construction is metal throughout, with the brass finish applied over the steel structure, and the glass globes are individually removable for cleaning or bulb replacement without dismantling the entire frame.

Frequently Asked
Does the Solana come with bulbs?
No. The fitting takes thirty G9 bulbs, sold separately. Most users choose 3-5W warm-white LED G9 bulbs at 2700K-3000K for a combined light output of 90-150W with lower energy consumption than halogen equivalents.
Is it dimmable?
Yes, provided you use dimmable G9 bulbs and pair the fitting with a compatible dimmer switch. Not all LED G9 bulbs support dimming, so check bulb specifications before purchasing.
What table size does it suit?
The 1430mm length works above rectangular dining tables seating 6-10 people or along kitchen islands of similar proportions. The fitting is typically hung 700-900mm above the table surface, which requires ceiling heights of 2.7m or above to maintain adequate head clearance.
How is the frame cleaned?
Switch off power at the mains. Wipe the brass frame with a dry microfibre cloth. For the glass globes, a slightly damp cloth with distilled water is acceptable. Individual globes can be unscrewed and removed for more thorough cleaning without dismantling the entire fitting.
