Description
A 24-inch, 3-light pendant with a bold black fabric shade, designed for modern kitchens and dining rooms.
The Zulu pendant from Dainolite makes a dramatic statement with its unique six-sided fabric shade in black, suspended from a polished chrome canopy. The design blends pop-art flair with contemporary minimalism, adding both light and visual interest to any room. Custom color options are available, but this black version offers a versatile neutral that works in a range of interiors.
Best for
- Kitchen islands 6-8 ft long, centered over the counter for task and ambient light
- Dining rooms with tables 48-60 in wide, hung 30-36 in above the table surface
- Living rooms and open-plan spaces as a focal point over a coffee table or seating area
- Bedrooms with high ceilings, used as a central fixture over the bed or seating nook
- Commercial spaces like restaurants or boutiques seeking a modern, artistic look
Not ideal for
- Bathrooms or covered outdoor areas - this fixture is rated for dry locations only
- Spaces with ceilings under 8 ft, as the minimum drop requires some clearance
- Rooms where a flush or close-to-ceiling mount is needed - this is a pendant with hanging rods
How bright is it?
This pendant accepts three 23W CFL bulbs (not included), which typically produce around 1600-1800 lumens total - comparable to a 100-120W incandescent. This is sufficient for ambient lighting in a medium-sized room or task lighting over a kitchen island. For a brighter effect, use higher-wattage CFL or LED bulbs compatible with the E26 base.
Light color and feel
The fixture is dimmable with compatible dimmable CFL bulbs and a line-voltage dimmer. The Kelvin temperature depends on the bulbs you choose - warm white (2700-3000K) creates a cozy, inviting glow, while cool white (3500-4000K) suits task-oriented spaces. The fabric shade diffuses light softly, reducing glare and creating a warm ambiance.
Sizing and fit
The shade is 24 inches in diameter and 8.5 inches tall, with a canopy of 4.5 inches diameter. The fixture hangs from three fractional rods (8, 11, and 20 inches) for a maximum drop of 39 inches. It is sloped ceiling adaptable up to 15 degrees. Overall dimensions: 24 x 24 x 8.5 inches (shade).
