Know before you buy
The shade is crafted from a specialized plastic foil that softens the light output. This creates a warm, diffused, and completely glare-free glow, making it an excellent choice for dining areas or living rooms where you want to avoid harsh shadows.
No, the Model 157 is not dimmable. It is designed to provide a consistent, ambient light level.
No, this fixture is dry-rated only. It should be installed in indoor, climate-controlled environments away from moisture or high humidity.
The shade can be gently dusted with a soft, dry cloth or a duster. Because of the delicate, folded nature of the material, avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive sponges.
The fixture uses an E26 base, which is a standard size. Please note that the bulb is not included, so you will need to purchase an E26 LED bulb that fits within the 20W maximum wattage limit.
The pendant includes a 118-inch cord, which allows for significant flexibility when adjusting the hanging height. This makes it suitable for rooms with both standard and vaulted ceilings.
