Know before you buy
The layered fiberglass shades act as a diffuser, softening the light output and creating a warm, ethereal glow. Because the material is semi-translucent, it casts gentle shadows and eliminates harsh glare, making it ideal for ambient lighting.
The fixture is designed for standard flat-ceiling hardwired installation. If you have a sloped ceiling, you will likely need to consult with a professional electrician to determine if a compatible sloped-ceiling adapter can be used with the included canopy.
Yes, because this is a hardwired pendant light, professional installation by a licensed electrician is recommended to ensure the steel frame is properly supported and the electrical connections meet local building codes.
The shades are best maintained by gently dusting them with a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a feather duster. Avoid using water, cleaning sprays, or abrasive materials, as the spun fiberglass structure is delicate and can be damaged by moisture or pressure.
Yes, you can use an LED bulb as long as it does not exceed the 100-watt maximum capacity of the socket. Using an LED bulb is recommended to reduce heat output, which helps preserve the integrity of the fiberglass material over time.
The fixture includes a PVC cord that allows for adjustable height during installation. Please consult your electrician to set the desired drop length based on your ceiling height and the specific placement of the light.
