Solara 1 Light Crystal Pendant Light - Gold

The Solara is a 16cm crystal pendant light built around a cylindrical gold frame fitted with alternating square and rectangular faceted crystal panels that wrap the single G9 bulb fitting. The crystal panels stack in three horizontal bands around the 36cm-high drum, creating a geometric lattice that catches and refracts light from the bulb inside.

Designed for use in multiples rather than as a single feature piece, the Solara suits kitchen islands, dining counters and stairwells where two, three or more pendants can be hung in a linear sequence. The 16cm diameter keeps the footprint compact enough for 600-800mm spacing between units, while the vertical proportions (36cm drop plus cable length) work in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. Each pendant hangs from a slim fabric-covered cable that conceals the wiring run to a matching gold ceiling rose.

The gold frame finish sits between polished and satin — not mirror-bright but warm-toned and reflective enough to complement the crystal without competing with it. The faceted crystal panels are cut with angled edges that create directional sparkle under direct light and diffuse the G9 bulb output into ambient scatter. The 33W maximum rating allows flexibility to choose bulb brightness based on room size and task requirements, with most installations using 3-6W LED G9 bulbs in warm white (2700K-3000K) to balance decorative and functional lighting.

Does the Solara come with a bulb?

No. The pendant takes a single G9 bulb up to 33W, sold separately. Most users pair this with a 3-6W LED G9 bulb in warm white (2700K-3000K) for ambient kitchen or dining lighting.

How many should I hang over a kitchen island?

For a standard 1.8-2.4m island, two or three Solara pendants spaced 600-800mm apart provide balanced task and ambient light. For islands longer than 2.4m, consider four pendants with consistent spacing to maintain visual rhythm.

Is the Solara dimmable?

Dimmer compatibility depends on the G9 bulb you choose. LED G9 bulbs vary in dimmer tolerance — check the bulb packaging for dimmer compatibility or contact us for recommendations before pairing with a dimmer switch.

How is the crystal cleaned?

Switch off the power and allow the bulb to cool. Wipe each crystal panel with a dry microfibre cloth. For stubborn marks, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water is acceptable, but avoid soaking the frame and do not use household glass cleaners or chemical sprays near the gold finish.
