Description
Our Yarvelle Glass Pendant Light is a teardrop of clear glass on a fine cable, with a slim chrome stem running down inside the shade to hold the bulb. The structure is iron with a chrome finish, and because the glass is clear, the polished stem and the glow of the bulb read straight through it. The fitting is 20cm tall and 12cm across, with a drop of 170cm. It takes a G4 bulb and gives a warm white light at 2700K, with a CRI of 80+, a sound everyday level for showing colours fairly. It is not dimmable, so it belongs on a plain on and off switch rather than a dimmer.
At this size it works best where you want a small, clear point of light rather than a broad wash across a room. Hung low beside the bed, it frees the bedside table for books and a glass of water; over a hallway console or a desk it marks the spot without crowding the space. The 170cm drop lets it come down to a useful height under a tall ceiling. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry rooms only, which suits living rooms, bedrooms, studies, hallways and dining rooms well. Anyone who likes a light, airy look, or wants a pendant that keeps the view across a room open, tends to get on with clear glass like this.
The build is simple and tidy, in iron and glass: a slim chrome stem and top cap, with the clear glass shade hanging from them. It is a Class II mains fitting, and like any mains fitting it is for a qualified electrician to install. For styling, hang one each side of a bed in place of bedside lamps, or set it against a dark painted wall, where the chrome and glass catch the light at their best.
