Know before you buy
The alabaster acts as a natural diffuser, softening the LED output to create a warm, ambient glow. Because it is a natural stone, you can expect unique veining that makes the light diffusion slightly different on every piece.
Yes, the fixture is made to order with a height range between 28 and 60 inches. You will need to specify your desired drop length at the time of purchase to ensure the stem is cut to your exact requirements.
Yes, the integrated LED modules are dimmable. We recommend using a high-quality LED-compatible dimmer switch to ensure smooth performance and to fully capture the fixture's atmospheric glow.
The fluted brass finishes are living materials that will develop a unique patina over time, which can be maintained with a soft, dry cloth. The alabaster should be dusted gently with a dry microfiber cloth; avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as the stone is porous.
The Median 1 emits a warm 2500K light, which is ideal for creating an intimate, cozy atmosphere. The color temperature is fixed and cannot be adjusted, but the intensity can be dimmed to suit your mood.
Due to its significant weight, this pendant must be installed into a reinforced junction box or supported by structural blocking in your ceiling. We strongly recommend professional installation by a licensed electrician.
