DC Cable Pendant Light 10cm - White & Oak

Description

Description
DC is a pendant in white and oak. A small white sphere held on a short oak strap that arches over it and is pinned with a bright disc, so the wood reads as a handle carrying the head. The sphere is open at its lower face, and whatever lamp is fitted hangs below it fully on show rather than being shaded. A white cable runs up through a loop above the strap. The white is matt and unbroken apart from the pin. It is the smallest of its form. It measures 10cm across.

A shade this small works better in a run of two or three over an island than alone in the middle of a ceiling, where it reads as an accent rather than the main light. Hang it so the bottom of the shade sits about 80cm above the surface, a little higher if people walk beneath it rather than sit under it. Hung at that height the shade is read as an object in the room rather than as a source, and the light lands on the table instead of in the eyes of the people round it.

The holder is E27. It is rated IP20, for dry indoor rooms.

Frequently Asked
Which bulb does it take?
An E27 lamp. Bulbs are supplied separately so you can choose the brightness and colour you want.

Can it be dimmed?
Yes, on a compatible dimmer, provided the lamp you fit is a dimmable one. The fitting has no dimmer of its own.

How high should it hang above a dining table?
About 80cm from the table top to the bottom of the shade. Go higher over an island people walk past, and lower over a table nobody passes beneath.

Can it go in a bathroom?
No. It is IP20, which covers dry interior rooms only. A bathroom needs IP44 or better.
