Black glass pendant lights

Count on a pendant light with an adjustable cable, an opal glass for a soft halo or a smoked glass for a softer light, and a diameter of 15 to 18 cm above a table for four to six people. The black structure stays discreet on the ceiling and lets the glass do the work.

What light does a black glass pendant give?

The black structure holds a glass that filters or diffuses the light. Opal glass diffuses widely and gives an even result; smoked or amber glass filters more and softens the mood. In this collection, most models are LED with a warm white light of 2700 to 3500 K, a few references in neutral white.

Black glass pendant lights: opal, smoked or amber?

Opal glass is right when you want to light without glare: the globe becomes a soft light source, readable above a table. Smoked glass and amber glass step down in intensity and create a stronger contrast with the black structure. For an overview of the full family, browse smoked glass pendant lights and white glass pendant lights.

Warm white or neutral white above a table?

A warm white around 2700 to 3500 K makes the room welcoming and flatters wood as well as light tablecloths: it is the common choice above a dining table. Neutral white, around 3500 to 4500 K, gives a more direct light, appreciated in a kitchen or on a worktop where you cut and read. The same room supports both if the sources are not facing each other.

Which black glass pendant light to choose for the living room?

For a living room, the largest formats hold the space: an 18 cm ball, a long box or a cascade of globes. The collection is designed first for the living room, with ball and round shapes, metal or steel structures and opal, smoked or black glass depending on the desired result.

Black living room chandelier: which shape for a large volume?

A large room needs a light that occupies the height. The Opaluna opal glass pendant light, with its 18 cm diameter and adjustable height from 63 cm to 351 cm, comes down into the field of vision without invading the passage. For a more graphic effect, the Silmilena cascade of globes stacks the volumes on the same axis.

Black industrial chandelier: how to recognise it?

The industrial style is read in the visible structure: visible metal arms, simple glass in globes or cones, sometimes fine rods. The Vellinina six-light model gives a worked version, with its crossed arms. This register goes well with raw metal and large tables; black industrial style and black metal design cover the variants.

Pendant above the dining table: which diameter and height?

Above a table, better to choose a model with an adjustable cable: in this collection heights and diameters vary by reference. A large format lights a large table, a compact format suits a round table.

Which diameter for a pendant above a dining table?

The product sheets in the collection cover diameters of 12, 15, 16, 18, 20 and 25 cm. In practice, a model of 15 to 18 cm is enough above a table for four to six people, and a diameter of 20 to 25 cm accompanies a longer table or a room with a high ceiling. The 20 cm Elisamara ball shows what a wider volume brings.

How to adjust the height of a pendant cable?

Adjust the cable before screwing the fixing to the ceiling, never after. A general rule of the trade places the bottom of the light around 75 to 85 cm above the table surface, to be adjusted according to the height of the occupants and the position of the chairs. Then check dimmer compatibility if you want to lower the intensity: only some models accept it.

Pendant or black wall light: how to light the walls as well?

A pendant lights downwards, above a table or an island; a black wall light, placed high, lights a wall or a worktop. In the same room the two complement each other: the pendant structures the centre, the wall light lights the sides and removes dark areas.

Black industrial wall light: how to match it with a pendant?

Stay on two materials maximum in the same room. A wall light with a black metal structure and simple glass goes well with a black pendant with opal or smoked glass. Look at the socket before buying: E14, E27 or integrated LED depending on the models, and the protection rating if the room is damp.

Glass ball wall light and glass tube wall light: what difference in result?

The ball wall light diffuses in all directions and suits a wide wall you want to wash with light. The tube wall light concentrates the light on a vertical or horizontal band, practical above a worktop or along a corridor. Opal glass remains the softest in both cases; smoked marks the contrast more.

Kitchen, bedroom or hallway: where to hang a black glass model?

The collection covers mainly the living room, the dining room and the kitchen, then the bedroom and the hallway. Above an island or a worktop, a long box or a fine bar works better than a ball; in a bedroom or a hallway, a model with one or two lights is enough.

Black and white glass pendant lights: how to pair them in a bedroom?

Black structures, white lightens. In a bedroom, a black pendant in the centre and a clearer source at the bedside balance the room without loading it. This is the principle deployed by black and white pendant lights and black pendant lights for the bedroom.

Which black pendant for a hallway or corridor?

A one-light model, in opal or smoked glass, is enough to mark the arrival without cluttering the passage. Measure the width of the corridor before choosing: a narrow light avoids hitting shoulders. The Tindomiel smoked glass ball plays this role in a small volume.

One light point or several: which socket to choose?

In this collection, most models have an integrated LED; the others are divided between E14, E27, G9 and GU10 sockets. A one-light model suits a small volume, the four or six light versions and the cascades dress a large living room.

How to replace an E14 or E27 bulb?

Cut the power at the breaker, let it cool, then unscrew the bulb. On an E14 socket, the power observed on the sheets ranges from 10 to 40 W; on an E27, it goes up to 60 W. Use the same colour temperature as the other sources in the room to avoid a visible mix.

Cascade of globes or fine bar: what effect in a large volume?

The cascade comes down and creates a vertical focal point, useful in a stairwell or a living room with a high ceiling; the stacked opal spheres of the Lundanina pendant light play this role. The fine bar, on the other hand, stays horizontal and lights a long surface like an island. See other ideas in black models with a strong design.

How to install and maintain a black glass pendant light?

Almost all models in the collection are IP20, so reserved for dry rooms; a few references in IP44 accept a damp room. The glass is cleaned with a soft cloth. Some models accept a dimmer.

Can you install a black glass pendant in a bathroom?

Only if the model is protected: here, only a small share of references is IP44, the rest being IP20, reserved for dry rooms. Above a sink or in a small bathroom, a suitable black wall light is often safer than a pendant. Check the protection rating before buying, it appears on the product sheet.

How to clean an opal glass globe?

Cut the power, let it cool, then wipe with a soft slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products, which scratch the glass and dull the result. For smoked glass or smoked and black glass, a microfibre cloth is enough to remove marks without leaving a film.

How to refresh a glass table with a new pendant light?

A glass table reflects what hangs above it: an opal glass pendant diffuses a soft light where a transparent glass marks the reflection more. Changing the light above the table is often enough to transform the room, without touching the furniture.

How to refresh a glass table without changing it?

Replace the source first. A black pendant with opal glass, with an adjustable cable, changes the way the light falls on the tabletop and on faces. Complete with coloured glass or a green shade if you are looking for an accent, and browse the whole lighting catalogue to compare the families.

Can you cover a glass table with wood or paint?

This collection deals with lighting, not furniture transformation. Keep in mind that light changes with the material: wood absorbs where glass reflects. If you modify the tabletop, an opal glass pendant remains the softest choice above the table. For a coherent set, also see black wood pendant lights and black metal pendant lights. To paint a glass table, sand lightly, apply a bonding primer then a suitable paint; for a wood covering, prefer a structural adhesive and check the result with the light of the pendant.
