Know before you buy
This fixture uses three E12 Candelabra G16.5 bulbs. Each socket supports up to 60 watts.
The shade is made of clear glass, which allows for maximum light output and showcases the internal bulb structure.
The James Pendant is UL certified for safety, but it is intended for dry indoor locations. It is not rated for damp or wet environments.
The pendant weighs 11 pounds. Because of its weight, it should be installed into a standard junction box capable of supporting a light fixture of this size.
The fixture measures 22.75 inches in height. You should consider your ceiling height to ensure the drop is appropriate for your space.
To maintain the finish, simply dust the fixture regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads, as these can damage the protective coating.
