Walette Pendant Light 18cm - Black & Brown

The Walette is a single pendant light with a matt black steel shade in a soft teardrop shape, topped by a slim collar of light brown wood. The shade measures 18cm across, and the whole light is 110cm tall overall, hanging from a round black ceiling plate on a fine black cord. It takes one E27 bulb of up to 40W, with the bulb not included, so you choose the colour of light that suits the room. It is rated IP20, which means it belongs indoors in dry rooms rather than in a bathroom or outside.

At 18cm across, this black pendant light is sized for spots where a large shade would crowd the space: over a bedside table, at the end of a hallway, above a reading chair in a living room, or hung in a row of two or three over a kitchen island or dining table. Matt black sits well against dark painted walls, while the warm wood collar softens the look and ties in with timber furniture, leather and other natural textures. Because the shade opens downwards, it sends its light onto the table or chair beneath it rather than across the ceiling, which is exactly what you want for reading or eating.

The shade is steel with a fine, lightly textured matt black finish, and the collar is wood with a clear, natural grain. There is no switch on the light itself, so it runs from the switch on your wall. It is made for 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains, and as a wired-in ceiling light it should be installed by a qualified electrician. The installation instructions come as a download, and the packed weight is 0.909KG. Before fitting, pick an E27 bulb of no more than 40W, and a warm white bulb suits the black and wood finish.
