Know before you buy
The layered, curved shades are specifically engineered to minimize glare by shielding the bulb from direct view. Combined with the opal-etched diffusers, this design produces a soft, ambient glow rather than harsh, directional light.
This fixture uses a single E12 Candelabra Base bulb with a maximum wattage of 40W. You can use an LED equivalent to achieve the same brightness while consuming significantly less energy.
Yes, the interior metal finish is visible from the sides and bottom of the fixture. It provides a subtle, sophisticated contrast to the textured black exterior, adding depth to the pendant's overall aesthetic.
While the fixture is designed for standard ceiling mounting, its compact size and 5-pound weight make it versatile for various placements. We recommend consulting with a professional electrician to confirm compatibility with your specific ceiling slope.
The Barron Pendant is UL certified for safety, but it is not specifically rated for damp or wet locations. It is best suited for dry indoor spaces such as kitchens, dining areas, or hallways.
