Solarae 1 Light Glass Pendant - Antique Brass, 20cm

The Solarae is a 20cm glass pendant light built around a hand-blown transparent glass sphere set inside an antique brass metal cage. A single G4 bulb sits inside the glass diffuser, casting light through the clear blown glass in all directions. The antique brass frame provides both structural support and a warm metallic accent that frames the transparent globe.

Designed for use over kitchen islands, dining tables and bar counters, the Solarae works as a single pendant over a breakfast bar or in clusters of two or three over longer surfaces. The 20cm diameter suits ceiling heights of 2.4m and above, with the 2000mm cable allowing the pendant to be adjusted on installation to sit 700-800mm above a worktop or 650-750mm above a dining table. The transparent glass maximises light transmission, making the pendant suitable for task lighting as well as decorative use.

The antique brass finish on the metal frame has a slightly aged patina that differentiates it from polished or brushed brass, pairing well with vintage, industrial and warm contemporary interiors. The combination of clear glass and aged brass gives the Solarae a Mid-Century or vintage-industrial character without being overly styled. The IP20 rating restricts use to dry indoor environments only.

Each Solarae pendant uses a single G4 bulb (sold separately), which is a bi-pin capsule bulb typically available in 10W-20W halogen or 2W-4W LED equivalents. The G4 base is smaller than standard E27 or E14 fittings, so bulb selection should be confirmed before installation.

What bulb does the Solarae take?

The pendant uses a single G4 bi-pin capsule bulb, sold separately. G4 bulbs are available in halogen (typically 10W-20W) or LED (2W-4W equivalent). The G4 base is smaller than standard E27 or E14 fittings, so check bulb compatibility before purchasing.

Can it be used in a bathroom?

No. The IP20 rating means the Solarae is only suitable for dry indoor environments. It cannot be installed in bathrooms, kitchens directly above sinks, or any location where water spray or condensation is present.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 2000mm cable allows for adjustment during installation. For use over a kitchen island or dining table, the pendant typically sits 700-800mm above the surface, which works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. The cable can be shortened if needed.

How many pendants are needed over a kitchen island?

For a standard 1.2m-1.5m island, two Solarae pendants spaced 600-700mm apart work well. For longer islands of 1.8m-2.4m, three pendants spaced evenly provide balanced coverage.
