Tonic Dimmable LED Glass Pendant Light 12W 3000K - Clear & Black

The Tonic is a 98mm diameter LED glass pendant light combining a polished chrome cylindrical housing with a clear glass diffuser and a matt black ceiling canopy and cable. The integrated GX53 LED provides 12W output at 3000K warm white colour temperature, casting soft general light downwards through the clear glass base.

Designed for kitchen islands, dining tables, hallway groupings and bedside pendants in contemporary interiors, the Tonic works as a single fitting or in multiples where repeated points of light are needed. The adjustable drop ranges from 480mm to 2000mm on installation, allowing the pendant to be set high above walkways or low over worktops depending on ceiling height. The chrome housing sits midway down the suspension, creating a visual break between the black cable above and the glass diffuser below.

The clear glass diffuser reveals the internal LED module and reflector rather than concealing it, giving the pendant a technical appearance suited to modern and industrial-leaning schemes. The polished chrome finish reflects nearby surfaces and light sources, adding a layer of visual depth when the pendant is off. The fitting requires a suitable LED-compatible dimmer for dimming functionality — standard incandescent dimmers will not work with the integrated LED.

At 1.05kg the Tonic is light enough for standard ceiling roses but benefits from secure fixing to a ceiling joist or plasterboard anchor when installed on the maximum 2000mm drop. The 98mm diameter makes the pendant compact relative to traditional glass shades, allowing it to be used in smaller spaces or grouped closely without visual clutter.

Is the Tonic dimmable?

Yes, the integrated LED is dimmable but requires an LED-compatible dimmer. Standard incandescent or halogen dimmers will not work with this fitting. Check the dimmer manufacturer's specifications for compatibility with GX53 LED modules before installation.

What drop height works best over a dining table?

For a typical dining table, install the pendant so the bottom of the glass diffuser sits 700-800mm above the table surface. This provides focused light on the table without obstructing sight lines across the table when seated.

Can multiple Tonic pendants be grouped together?

Yes. The 98mm diameter allows multiple pendants to be installed in a row or cluster without creating visual clutter. Common configurations include three pendants spaced evenly over a kitchen island or a cluster of five at varied heights in a stairwell.

Does the LED module need replacing?

The integrated LED is designed to last the lifetime of the fitting under typical use. If the LED fails within the warranty period, contact Mantra or Niori for a replacement. The GX53 socket suggests the LED module may be replaceable, but this should be confirmed with the manufacturer before attempting removal.
