Zephyr Ribbed Glass Pendant Light White 45cm - Polished Chrome

The Zephyr is a 45cm diameter pendant light built around a single white blown glass shade with vertical ribbed relief decoration across its entire surface, suspended from a polished chrome canopy on a clear PVC cable. The shade is formed from acid-etched glass that diffuses light evenly across the 450mm width, and the ribbing adds surface texture that creates subtle shadow patterns when lit. The single E27 bulb fitting sits inside the shade (bulb sold separately).

Designed for living rooms, dining areas and bedrooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above, the Zephyr provides ambient rather than task lighting. The 300mm shade height and oblate spherical form give the pendant a substantial visual presence without dominating smaller rooms, making it suitable for spaces between 12-18m². The transparent cable run keeps visual weight on the shade itself rather than the suspension system, and the polished chrome canopy provides a clean metallic accent that pairs with contemporary and mid-century furniture.

The ribbed relief across the glass surface is etched during the blowing process rather than applied afterwards, meaning the texture is integral to the glass structure and won't wear or discolour over time. The acid-etched finish softens the light output and hides the bulb filament or LED array from direct view, reducing glare when the pendant is hung at typical dining table or living room heights. The IP20 rating restricts use to dry indoor locations only.

Is the Zephyr dimmable?

Yes, when paired with a dimmable E27 bulb and a compatible dimmer switch. The pendant itself is rated as dimmable, but the actual dimming behaviour depends on the bulb you choose and the dimmer circuit specification.

What bulb does it take?

A single E27 (Edison screw) bulb, sold separately. Most users pair this with a 6-10W LED in warm white (2700K-3000K) for ambient living room or dining room lighting, or a decorative filament bulb where the ribbed glass will soften the filament visibility.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 300mm shade height and suspension cable length mean this pendant works best in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. Over a dining table the pendant typically sits 700-800mm above the surface; in a living room it hangs at a height that keeps the bottom of the shade at least 2m above floor level to avoid head clearance issues.

Can it be used in a bathroom?

No. The IP20 rating restricts the Zephyr to dry indoor locations only. Bathrooms require IP44 or higher, depending on zone placement.
