Know before you buy
This fixture requires five E26 Medium Base A19 bulbs. Each socket supports up to 60W, allowing for a total of 300W if using incandescent bulbs, though you can use LED equivalents for energy efficiency.
The Middlebury is designed for ambient lighting. The metal fluting conceals the bulbs, and the glossy opal glass diffuser softens the output, creating a warm, diffused glow rather than a harsh, direct beam.
Yes, the pendant features a chain-hung design, which allows you to adjust the hanging height to suit your ceiling clearance and room proportions.
The Middlebury is UL certified, but it is not explicitly rated for damp or wet locations. It is best suited for dry indoor spaces like dining rooms, living areas, or entryways.
The pendant weighs 18 lbs. Due to its weight and size, it should be installed into a junction box rated to support a fixture of this mass, ideally by a licensed electrician.
