Suspension à grappes pour cage d’escalier, 4 à 50 cm, trois finitions

A directed pendant on an adjustable drop, so you can set the height over a counter and aim the light rather than flooding the room. The beam lands where you put it: on the chopping board, on the middle of the table, on the page beside the bed, while the rest of the room stays exactly as dim or as bright as you want it.

One central ceiling light forces a whole room to a single setting. Hang two or three of these instead and the room gains layers. You can light the working end of a kitchen properly and leave the seating end soft, drop one low beside a bed for reading without lighting the person next to you, or mark the length of a hallway with a quiet rhythm of light. That is what people mean by a fixture adapting to a space rather than dominating it.

The body is a long, slender cylinder in aluminium, ∅4 cm (1.6″) and no wider, and that narrowness is the point. It reads as a vertical line overhead rather than a volume, which keeps it visually light even when several hang together. The profile carries no ornament at all, so a cluster looks architectural instead of decorative, and the illumination goes downward in a clean, focused column. Aluminium also earns its place here for reasons you cannot see from the sofa: it takes the heat the emitter gives off and it holds its finish, so the surface resists both temperature and fading over years of use. Black, gold or white.

Three lengths on that same slim diameter: 30 cm (11.8″), 40 cm (15.7″) and 50 cm (19.7″). Mix them at staggered drops for a stepped cluster above a dining table, or run one length in a straight line over an island. The LED is integrated and energy-saving, 3 W and around 330 lm, rated for roughly 50,000 hours, and it comes in three light modes: cool white (6000 K), neutral white (4000 K) and warm white (3000 K). Between the sizes and those temperatures you can tune the atmosphere of a room fairly precisely. Weight is 1 kg (2.2 lb). This fixture is not dimmable.

It hardwires like a chandelier. The mounting bracket fixes to the electrical box, a junction box is supplied, and the suspension adjusts up to 1 m (3.3 ft), which is what lets one fitting suit a low ceiling and a tall one. The canopy measures ∅10.2 cm (4″), and it runs on AC 90 to 260 V for even, bright output. Certified to UL, CCC, CE, CQC, EMC, FCC, GS, LVD, PSE, RoHS, SAA and VDE. It suits dining tables, kitchen islands, bedside areas, living rooms, bedrooms and offices, and it fits contemporary interiors without effort.

This fitting hangs from a ceiling outlet box and is wired into your mains supply. Work out your hanging height before you connect anything - it is far easier to set the drop with the wiring still loose than to redo it afterwards.

Before you start

• Mounting: the fitting secures to a standard ceiling outlet box. The bracket and fixings are in the box.
• Weight: check that your outlet box and ceiling can carry the fitting. Weights are listed in the Product Specifications above. A heavy chandelier may need a brace fitted between the joists.
• Hanging height: the supplied cord, chain or rod can be shortened. Over a dining table, a drop that leaves roughly 75 to 90 cm between the table top and the bottom of the shade suits most rooms.
• Ceiling type: every model suits a flat ceiling. Sloped-ceiling compatibility is stated per product in the Product Specifications above.
• Power: these fittings are hardwired. They do not plug into a socket.
• Dimming: models with a replaceable bulb can usually be dimmed with a compatible dimmer. Integrated LED models generally cannot.

Tools you may need

• Screwdriver
• Voltage tester
• Wire strippers
• Wire nuts or terminal connectors (supplied)
• Step ladder, and a second person for anything heavy or wide
• Drill, if you are fitting a new outlet box or bracing the ceiling

Installation

Turn the lighting circuit off at the consumer unit or breaker panel - the wall switch is not enough. Test at the ceiling outlet with a voltage tester and confirm the wires are dead.

Screw the supplied bracket to the ceiling outlet box with the screws provided. Tighten evenly and check that it sits flat and square; a bracket that is not level will show in the finished hang.

Adjust the cord, chain or rod to the drop you want before you make any electrical connection. Lock the length using the canopy adjuster or the grip inside the canopy. Where a cord is shortened, coil the surplus neatly inside the canopy rather than cutting it - that keeps the height adjustable later.

• Live to live: black, brown, or the terminal marked L
• Neutral to neutral: white, blue, or the terminal marked N
• Earth to earth: green, green-and-yellow, or bare, to the earth terminal or screw

Secure each connection with a connector and press the wiring gently up into the box. Nothing should be trapped between the canopy and the ceiling when you close it.

Lift the canopy or backplate onto the bracket and fasten it with the screws or decorative caps supplied. Work up to a firm fit rather than forcing it - decorative caps and plated threads strip easily.

Fit the bulb type and wattage listed in the Product Specifications above. Where several sockets share one shade, use identical bulbs so the colour and brightness match across the fitting.

Switch the circuit back on and test the light, including the dimmer if you have fitted one. Isolate the power again before re-opening anything.

Important tips

• Follow the wiring rules that apply where you live, and use a qualified electrician for high ceilings, sloped mounts or anything you are unsure of.
• Have someone hold a wide or heavy fitting while you make the connections. Do not let it hang on its wiring at any point.
• Clean glass and crystal with a dry, soft cloth. Do not spray cleaner onto a fitting that is wired in.
• Do not over-tighten decorative parts: they are finished, not structural.
