Description
The Trosvelle is a pendant light with a barrel-shaped cage of black steel strips, hung on a slim black cord from a round black ceiling canopy. It is 110cm tall overall and 32.5cm in diameter, a generous size that holds its own over a dining table. Inside the cage sits an E27 lampholder that takes a bulb up to 40W, and the bulb is not included, so you choose the one that suits your room. It is rated IP20, which settles where it goes: indoors and somewhere dry, never a bathroom or anywhere damp.
We think it looks its best above a dining table, where the open cage gives the space a focal point without closing off the view across the room. The strips leave gaps between them, so the bulb stays on show, and a decorative globe or filament bulb makes a real difference to the look. The black finish sits well against pale walls and warm wood, and it suits anyone who wants a single pendant with some character rather than a plain fabric shade. It works just as well over a kitchen table or in a living room, as long as the room is dry.
The body is steel with a black colour, and the cord and ceiling canopy are black to match. There is no switch on the light itself, so it is switched at the wall. It runs on mains at 220-240V, 50/60Hz, and as a wired-in mains light it is installed by a qualified electrician. The installation instructions come as a download, so you can read them before the work begins. The packed weight is 3.726KG, worth knowing when you lift the box. Our practical tip is to buy the bulb at the same time, keeping to no more than 40W, so the light is ready on the day it is hung.
