Suspension en verre vert cannelé pour chevet, de 15 à 22 cm

Frosted glass in a pale green that turns a bare bulb into an even glow, sized to hang singly over a table or in a run above a counter. Switch it on and the hard point of a filament simply disappears. What reaches the table instead is a rounded, unhurried light you can sit under for a long dinner without squinting, and without anyone at the far end of the table feeling lit up.

Most ceiling fixtures hand you one of two problems. Either the bulb glares straight down into your guests, or the shade is so dense that the whole room goes flat. This pendant sits between the two. The glass is thick enough to hide the source and open enough to carry the warmth through, so faces stay lit, food looks like food, and the corners of the room keep a little softness rather than dropping away into shadow.

The shade is a softly rounded dome, and its surface is worked all over with a repeating leaf-inspired relief. That texture is the reason the fixture reads as an object rather than a fitting. Unlit, it catches daylight across the moulded pattern and holds its own as quiet decoration. Lit, the same relief breaks the glow into a gentle wash and gives the glass real depth and character. Metal and glass throughout, with the canopy offered in gold or black so the hardware can either pick up the metals already in the room or step back from them.

Three diameters, all compact: ∅15 cm (5.9″), ∅20 cm (7.9″) and ∅22 cm (8.7″). A single one is enough over a side table or a reading chair, and because the form is small and sculptural it repeats well, so two or three in a row above a dining table or a kitchen counter look considered rather than crowded. Weight is 1.6 kg (3.5 lb). The bulb is included and replaceable, 1 × E26, 15 W and around 1500 lm in warm white (3000 K), with an LED life of roughly 50,000 hours and a working range of AC 90 to 260 V, which is what keeps the output even and bright wherever the fixture lands.

It hardwires like any chandelier: the mounting bracket fixes to the electrical box, and the junction box you need is supplied in the carton. The cord adjusts up to 1.5 m (4.9 ft), so you can set the drop precisely for a low ceiling or a high one, and the canopy measures ∅10 cm (3.9″). A sloped ceiling is fine. Certified to UL, CCC, CE, CQC, EMC, FCC, GS, LVD, PSE, RoHS, SAA and VDE. Dimming can be arranged before your order ships: write to info@clerachic.com and we will set it up.

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.
