Description
The Tortoreto is a slim cylindrical pendant light in white aluminium: a single clean tube hanging from a thin white cable beneath a round white ceiling canopy. It has an overall height of 40cm and a diameter of 6cm, and it weighs 0.91KG, so it reads as a narrow white line against the ceiling rather than a bulky shade. The tube is open at the lower end and takes a GU10 bulb, which is not included, so you choose the brightness and warmth of light that suit the room. It is rated IP20, which settles where it belongs: indoors, in dry rooms only.
Because the tube is so narrow, this pendant works well where space is tight or where you want light without blocking the view: over a kitchen island or breakfast bar, above a dining table, beside the bed in place of a bedside lamp, or in a hallway. The white finish sits quietly against a white or pale ceiling, so the eye goes to the light rather than the fitting. Hung in a row, several of these pendants make a neat line along a long worktop, while a single one marks out a reading corner or a side table. It suits anyone who wants a clean, modern look that will not date quickly.
The body is aluminium, a light metal, finished in white to match the cable and canopy for a tidy, unbroken look from ceiling to tube. There is no switch on the light itself: it runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains and is controlled from your wall switch, just like any ceiling light. As a wired mains light, it is installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions are available as a download. Have a GU10 bulb ready before it is fitted, and the pendant can be lit the same day it is hung.
