Know before you buy
This fixture uses one E26 Medium Base A19 bulb with a maximum wattage of 75W. You can use either incandescent or compatible LED bulbs.
The product specifications list the total height as 11.25 inches. Please check the included mounting hardware or consult an electrician if you need to adjust the drop length for your specific ceiling height.
The fluted glass is designed to beautifully diffuse light, creating a soft, ambient glow rather than a harsh, direct beam. It is best suited for general lighting in kitchens, hallways, or over small breakfast nooks.
The Dutchess Pendant is UL certified for safety, but it is not explicitly rated for damp or wet locations. It is recommended for use in dry, indoor environments like living rooms, dining areas, or bedrooms.
To maintain the finish and glass clarity, gently wipe the metalwork with a soft, dry cloth. The glass shade can be cleaned with a mild glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth, taking care to remove it from the fixture if necessary.
