Know before you buy
The fixture uses integrated LEDs with a warm 2500K color temperature, which provides a soft, inviting glow. Because the light filters through natural alabaster, the output is diffused and gentle, making it ideal for creating a sophisticated, ambient atmosphere.
Yes, the Median 2 features integrated dimmable LED lighting. We recommend consulting with a professional electrician to ensure your specific dimmer switch is compatible with the fixture's LED driver for smooth, flicker-free performance.
Because alabaster is a natural material, each piece will feature unique veining and color variations. This ensures that every Median 2 fixture is one-of-a-kind, though the overall design and craftsmanship remain consistent.
The Median 2 is dry-rated, meaning it is intended for indoor spaces without high humidity. It is best suited for living rooms, hallways, or bedrooms rather than bathrooms or areas prone to moisture.
The fixture weighs 35 lbs and requires a secure, hardwired installation. Given its weight and size, we strongly recommend having it installed by a professional to ensure the ceiling junction box is properly reinforced to support the load.
The integrated LED modules are rated for 50,000 hours of use. Under typical residential conditions, this translates to many years of service before the light source would require professional maintenance.
