Piansi 4-light pendant light with black arms, brass sleeves, 40 cm

Matt black set off with brass

Here, the rod, arms and ceiling rose are black, while the sleeves around the sockets and a thin ring on the rod are in honey brass. This contrast draws the eye to the bulbs. The two steel arms cross in an X at staggered levels, with no shade.

Choosing the bulbs

Four E27 sockets, supplied without bulbs, 40 W maximum per socket. A filament globe bulb, clear or amber, goes well with the brass; an opal bulb limits glare if the pendant light is in the field of view. Dimming is possible with suitable bulbs and dimmer. IP20: dry rooms.

Compact format under the ceiling

The four-light Piansi occupies 40 cm by 40 cm and is 23 cm high. It suits ceilings of 2.30 to 2.50 m, where a conventional pendant light would get in the way. In a corridor, fit two or three at regular intervals.
