Swag Chain Capsule Pendant, Alabaster, Brass, 1, 3 or 5 Heads

A single length of alabaster, cut into a rounded capsule and cradled in an antiqued brass stirrup, hangs on a fine link chain that swags across the ceiling rather than dropping straight down. Each shade measures 9 cm (3.5″) across and 39 cm (15.4″) long, and the stone is thick enough to hold the LED behind it as a soft amber glow instead of a hot spot. Take one over a bedside table or a reading chair, or run three or five together at staggered heights above a dining table or a kitchen island, where the draped chain becomes as much of the design as the stone.

What makes it work

• Swag-chain hanging — the chain runs from the canopy out over a ceiling hook above each shade, so you can put the light where you want it instead of where the outlet happens to be.
• Natural alabaster capsules — each shade is cut from real stone, so its veining and the exact warmth of its glow belong to that piece alone.
• Integrated LED, already fitted — the light source is built into every head, so there is no bulb to source, match or swap.

Alabaster varies, and that is the point

Because every capsule is cut from quarried stone, veining and tone move from piece to piece and away from the photographs. In a three- or five-head cluster that variation sits side by side, and it is what stops the group looking machine-made.

Setting the drop

Chain is supplied generously so you set the height yourself: 250 cm (98.4″) per head, which comes to 750 cm (295.3″) across a three-head cluster and 1250 cm (492.1″) across a five. Surplus links come out during fitting, so measure the drop you want before you start — over a dining table the base of a pendant usually sits 76 to 91 cm (30 to 36″) above the tabletop.

Installation

The fixture wires into one ceiling point through a 12 cm (4.7″) canopy, and each chain then runs out over its own ceiling hook so you can choose where the shades land. Have an electrician make the connection if you'd rather not touch the wiring, or fit it yourself if you're comfortable with basic ceiling wiring — it's a straightforward job.

Frequently asked questions

Can the chain be shortened to suit my ceiling?
Yes. The supplied length is a maximum — 250 cm (98.4″) per head — and surplus links come out during fitting, so you set the final drop.

How do the three- and five-head versions hang?
Each shade has its own chain and its own ceiling hook, with all of them drawn back to a single canopy, so you can stagger the heights and spread the heads across a table rather than bunching them in one place.

Is there a bulb to fit?
No. The LED is built into each head rather than screwed into a socket, so the pendant lights as soon as it is wired in.

Can it be used in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which carries no protection against moisture, so keep it to dry indoor rooms.
