Maracas 6-light spotlight bar, antique brass and blown glass

Six alternating arms around an oval backplate

A metal rod with an antique brass patina runs through an oblong backplate with rounded ends. Six slim arms extend from it, pointing first to one side and then the other, which gives the light a zigzag rhythm when seen from below. Each arm carries a colourless blown glass globe.

A sparkling light along the full length

The angle of each arm is adjusted by hand, globe by globe, to balance the lighting. The clear spheres cast light all around them rather than in a beam. According to Netlighting, the six 2 W G4 LED bulbs are included, and the fitting, Class II, connects without an earth. With an IP20 rating, keep it in a dry room.

A long bar to centre

With a height of 20 cm and a projection of 28 cm, the bar stays close to its support, which suits low ceilings. It can also be mounted as a wall light. Line it up with the length of a dining table or worktop so that the outermost globes sit roughly above its edges.
