Know before you buy
The Caleo Pendant uses a standard E27 bulb base. We recommend a bulb with a lumen output of 600LM for the small size and 1500LM for the medium and large sizes to achieve the intended glow.
No, this fixture is not dimmable. It is designed to provide a consistent, soft, and diffused light through its hand-pleated paper shade.
The paper shade is delicate and should be cleaned by gently dusting it with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster. Avoid using water or liquid cleaning agents, as these can damage the paper material.
The Caleo is designed primarily for ambient, diffused lighting rather than focused task lighting. It is best suited for dining areas, living rooms, or bedrooms where you want to create a warm, inviting atmosphere.
The Caleo Pendant is a hardwired fixture. While some homeowners may be comfortable with the installation, we recommend hiring a professional electrician to ensure the light is safely and correctly mounted.
The pendant is available in three sizes, each with distinct proportions. The small size is ideal for tighter spaces or grouping, while the medium and large versions offer a more substantial presence, making them better suited as a central focal point in larger rooms.
