Zephyr 1 Light Pendant - White Ribbed Glass & Brushed Gold, 45cm

The Zephyr is a 45cm pendant light combining a white acid-etched blown glass shade with vertical ribbing and a brushed gold metalwork canopy and suspension. The shade is formed from a single piece of blown glass shaped into a flattened UFO profile, with fine vertical ribs running around the entire circumference that catch and diffuse light in parallel bands. A single E27 bulb fitting inside directs light downward through the open bottom aperture and diffused through the ribbed glass sidewalls.

Designed for dining tables, kitchen islands and central living room positions where a mid-sized pendant provides both ambient and task lighting, the Zephyr suits spaces with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. The 45cm diameter fills the visual space over a dining table for four to six people without dominating smaller dining areas. The transparent PVC cable and brushed gold canopy allow the suspension to remain visually light, while the ribbed glass shade provides enough visual weight to anchor the fitting in the room.

The white acid-etching on the glass gives a matte translucency that softens the light output and hides the bulb from direct view when looking at the pendant from the side. The vertical ribbing adds surface texture that creates subtle shadow lines under directional light and gives the shade a three-dimensional quality that flat glass lacks. The brushed gold metalwork on the canopy and suspension loop pairs with warm white LED bulbs at 2700K-3000K to create a warm-toned scheme, or can be contrasted with cooler daylight bulbs where a crisper aesthetic is needed. The gold finish is a brushed satin rather than mirror-polished, reducing glare and reflections.

The pendant is dimmable when paired with a compatible E27 dimmable LED bulb and a trailing-edge or universal dimmer switch. The IP20 rating suits standard indoor installation in dry areas including dining rooms, living rooms, bedrooms and hallways, but not bathrooms, kitchens directly above hobs, or outdoor covered porches where moisture or steam may be present.

Is the Zephyr dimmable?

Yes, when paired with a dimmable E27 LED bulb and a compatible dimmer switch. Use a trailing-edge or universal dimmer for best results with LED bulbs. The pendant itself has no built-in dimming electronics, so dimmer compatibility depends on the bulb you install.

What bulb does it take and is one included?

The Zephyr takes a single E27 (Edison screw) bulb, sold separately. Most users pair this with a 6-10W warm white LED bulb at 2700K-3000K for dining and living spaces, or a cooler 4000K bulb for kitchens and task-focused areas.

What size dining table does a 45cm pendant suit?

A 45cm pendant suits dining tables seating four to six people, typically 120-180cm long. For larger tables seating eight or more, consider using two Zephyr pendants spaced evenly, or selecting a larger pendant from the Ideal Lux range.

Can it be used in a bathroom?

No. The IP20 rating means the Zephyr is for dry indoor areas only. It is not rated for bathroom zones where moisture or steam may be present. For bathrooms, look for pendants with IP44 or IP65 ratings.
