Description
The Sparrowmere double hoop pendant in the large size teams a 600mm teal fabric shade with two gold leaf hoops, on a drop that adjusts between 600mm and 1980mm. Three 10W E27 LED lamps sit inside, and the fitting is dimmable. It weighs 3.7kg and is rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms. At 600mm across it brings colour overhead without taking over a normal sized room, and the hoops standing clear of the shade give it an outline that reads from the side as well as from directly below.
This is the size we would choose for a round dining table, a kitchen island, a hallway with a decent ceiling, or a bedroom that could use one strong colour above the bed. Teal works best against plain walls, so let the pendant be the coloured element in the room rather than competing with patterned paper. Three lamps behind the fabric give warm general light with a hint of the shade colour in it, and the generous drop adjustment means it can hang low over a table or high in a stairwell without looking wrong either way.
The hoops and ceiling plate are metal in a gold leaf finish, paired with a teal fabric shade. Construction is Class 1, so an earth connection is required and installation should be left to a qualified electrician. Clean the shade dry, with a soft brush or a vacuum upholstery attachment, as a damp cloth will leave a tide mark on fabric. Dust the gold leaf metal with a dry cloth only, since polishes will lift the finish. If the room is bigger than this suits, the Sparrowmere XL pendant takes a 700mm teal shade on five lamps.

Frequently Asked
What is it made of?
A metal frame in a gold leaf finish, formed as two hoops, with a teal fabric shade held between them.
What size is it?
The shade is 600mm across, and the drop adjusts from 600mm to 1980mm. That covers a low ceiling as well as a stairwell.
How many bulbs does it take?
Three 10W E27 LED lamps, which spread light evenly across the shade rather than concentrating it in one place.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided the lamps are dimmable and the dimmer is rated for LED loads. Otherwise it will run happily on a standard switch.
How do I clean the fabric shade?
Use a soft brush or the upholstery attachment on a vacuum. Keep the fabric dry, as water will mark it and can leave a visible line.
Can I use it in a bathroom?
No, it is rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms. Dining rooms, bedrooms, hallways and sitting rooms are all fine.
