How bright is it?

This pendant uses one 150W A19 bulb (not included), which can produce up to 2200 lumens with an equivalent LED bulb - bright enough for ambient and task lighting in medium-sized rooms. For a softer glow, use a lower wattage or dimmable bulb.

Light color and feel

The satin etched glass diffuses light evenly, reducing glare and creating a soft, warm ambiance. With a standard incandescent bulb (2700K-3000K), the light is warm and inviting. The fixture is compatible with dimmable bulbs and a standard dimmer switch for adjustable brightness.

Sizing and fit

The pendant measures 16 in wide and 9.5 in high, with an adjustable hanging height up to 84 in (includes 72 in chain and 37 in wire). The backplate is 6 in diameter. Ideal for ceilings 8-10 ft; for higher ceilings, additional chain may be needed.
