Ball Pendant Light 25cm - Opal

Description

Description
Ball is a pendant in opal. An opal ball ribbed in fine vertical flutes that run from the shoulder to the base, drawn up at the top into a small rounded opal knop that stands clear of the body. The knop is held by a slim polished chrome cone, above which a twisted grey and white fabric flex runs up. The glass is warm white and thick enough to hide the lamp, so the ribs show only as shading. The bottom of the ball is left open and unrimmed. The proportions are round and full, a little wider than the shade is tall. It measures 25cm across.

It suits a table, an island or a hallway, hung low enough to be looked at rather than into. 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 and takes up to 40W. It is rated IP20, for dry indoor rooms.

Frequently Asked
Which bulb does it take?
An E27 lamp up to 40W. 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.
