Tonic Round Canopy Kit 40cm - Black

A canopy does the quiet work above a group of pendants, gathering their flexes into a tidy disc so the lights below read as a set rather than a scattering. This one is round, 40cm across and shallow enough to sit almost flat overhead, with eight separate openings for individual drops. The black finish keeps it recessive, so the eye travels to the pendants and their glass rather than to the plate above them. It is an accessory rather than a light in its own right, and it is all the better for staying plain.

We reach for a round canopy where a dining table is circular, or where a hallway wants a soft cluster instead of a line, and the openings leave room to stagger drops at varying heights over a kitchen island, a stairwell or a double-height landing. It suits anyone who has fallen for a pendant and wants several of them working as a group. Being non-electric, it holds no lamp of its own; the light comes entirely from the fittings hung through it, and the choice of colour temperature stays with them.

Finished in matt black across the face and edge, its slim depth keeps it unfussy against a pale ceiling and quietly invisible against a dark one. Dark surfaces overhead do show dust, so an occasional pass with a dry microfibre cloth on an extending handle is all it asks; keep sprays and solvents away from the finish. It carries a one year warranty. We stock the same idea as rectangular plates and in a larger round size, so a group of pendants can be arranged in a run rather than a ring, and it sits happily alongside the Tonic linear pendants if a straight line of light suits the room better.

How many pendants will this canopy take?

There are eight openings across the 400mm disc, so up to eight individual pendant drops can share one position.

Does it include pendants, flex or lamps?

No. It is a non-electric plate, so the pendants you hang through it supply their own flex, lamp and light output.

How much does it project below the ceiling line?

Very little. The plate is 35mm deep, which keeps the visual weight on the pendants rather than the canopy.

Is it suitable for a bathroom?

It is rated IP20, so it belongs in dry indoor rooms such as kitchens, halls, stairwells and dining rooms.

How should I clean the black finish?

Wipe it gently with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads, sprays and solvents, which can mark the painted surface.

Are other shapes and sizes available in this range?

Yes. We also stock rectangular canopy plates in several lengths and hole counts, plus a 60cm round version for larger groupings.
