Know before you buy
The pendant features two individual, rotatable outer shades. You can manually rotate these sections to direct light upward, downward, or create an asymmetrical glow, allowing you to customize both the light distribution and the visual silhouette of the fixture.
Yes, the Multi-Lite Pendant is dimmable. To ensure smooth performance, please pair it with a compatible dimmer switch and a dimmable light bulb.
This fixture is UL listed for dry locations only. It is best suited for living rooms, dining areas, bedrooms, or home offices, and should not be installed in bathrooms or areas with high humidity.
The pendant uses a single light source with a maximum wattage of 60W. It is designed for use with incandescent bulbs, though you may use compatible LED equivalents as long as they meet the wattage and base requirements.
The fixture requires hardwired installation by a professional electrician. While the core structure is pre-assembled, you will need to mount the canopy and secure the pendant to your ceiling junction box.
To preserve the finish, wipe the metal shades gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the polished chrome or brass surfaces.
