Know before you buy
Yes, the Cirque Pendant is damp-rated, meaning it is safe to install in bathrooms or covered outdoor areas where it may be exposed to moisture but not direct rain.
The fixture is designed to direct light downward, and the interior is finished in a white matte coating to ensure the light is soft and glare-free. It provides excellent task lighting for surfaces like kitchen islands or dining tables without being visually overwhelming.
Yes, the pendant comes with a 12-foot cord that can be shortened by a professional electrician during the hardwiring process to suit your ceiling height.
The Cirque Pendant is versatile enough to function as a striking standalone statement piece, but it is also frequently grouped in clusters of two or three to create a more dramatic, rhythmic effect over larger dining tables or kitchen counters.
The drawn aluminum construction is durable and easy to maintain. Simply wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust; avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
