Know before you buy
The integrated LED module provides a soft, diffused glow. Because of the 3D knitted shade, the light is dispersed evenly, making it ideal for creating a warm, ambient atmosphere rather than focused task lighting.
The Flying 78 features an integrated LED module, meaning the light source is built into the fixture. It is designed for longevity and efficiency, so you will not need to change bulbs.
Yes, the lamp is shipped flat-packed to reduce its environmental footprint during transport. You will need to assemble the shade, but the process is straightforward and designed to be efficient.
The Flying 78 is dry-rated with an IP20 rating, meaning it is intended for indoor use in dry areas only. It is best suited for living rooms, dining areas, or bedrooms where it won't be exposed to moisture or steam.
The fixture includes a 3-meter (118.11-inch) cord. This generous length allows for flexibility in installation, especially in rooms with higher ceilings.
The shade is made from durable, flame-retardant polyester. You can maintain its appearance by gently dusting it with a soft cloth or using a vacuum with a brush attachment on a low-suction setting.
