An E27 pendant light is a suspended fixture whose socket takes an E27 screw bulb: you choose the wattage, the light colour and the bulb type, including a smart bulb. The whole selection is E27 and IP20, with a ceiling rose to fix to the ceiling and an adjustable cable depending on the model.

What is an E27 pendant light and how do you fix it to the ceiling?
An E27 pendant light is a suspended fixture whose socket takes a screw bulb: you choose the wattage, the light colour and the bulb type, including a smart bulb. The fixture is fixed to the ceiling with a ceiling rose, and its adjustable cable lets you set the height for the room.
E27 pendant light with a screw ring: how does it fit?
The screw ring is the collar that screws onto the socket thread to hold the shade or diffuser. Unscrew the ring, thread the cable, connect the wires as per the instructions, fix the ceiling rose to the ceiling, then screw the ring back on before fitting the bulb. Switch off the power at the breaker before any work.
Textile or metal adjustable cable: what height should you allow?
Measure the distance between the floor and the bottom of the fixture, not the ceiling. Some models with a 1.5 m adjustable textile cable, such as Orba or Sahel, suit a standard ceiling. Others hang much lower: Cambio reaches 340 cm total height and Duality goes up to 342 cm. Excess cable is usually tucked into the ceiling rose. Browse all the pendants and our lighting range to compare formats.
Which pendant light for a modern living room?
For a living room, look for a model whose diameter matches the space and the furniture: a discreet ball for a small lounge, a large format or several light points above a coffee table. Black and gold metals and glass fit easily into modern interiors, and ball shapes lead the way.
One pendant light or several for a living room?
A single large fixture works above a coffee table or a reading corner. For a large lounge, two or three aligned points give more even light and avoid dark areas. Modern living room pendants combine well when they share the same finish.
What diameter of pendant light for a living room?
A 40 cm diameter model marks a corner without overwhelming it, like the Nélia pendant in metal and fabric, available in 40 and 60 cm. For a very large volume, the beige ball Lunéa comes from small up to 70 cm. Also browse the living room pendants to cross-check sizes.
Which pendant light for a kitchen and above an island?
Above a worktop or island, an E27 pendant light illuminates the prep area without dominating the view: compact format, cable adjusted so it does not get in the way, a bulb powerful enough to see clearly. Several small aligned pendants often replace a single large fixture.
Kitchen island pendant light: how should you spread the light points?
Align two or three points along the length of the island, evenly spaced, and set the height so the light falls on the worktop without dazzling the eyes. A narrow model like Taleja 3, 14 cm wide, takes up little space. Kitchen pendants range from small formats to large diameters.
Italian design kitchen pendant light: which lines should you look at?
Look for simple lines: brushed aluminium, clear glass, geometric shapes. Cambio in aluminium and Marble in metal and black or gold glass work this vein. Azura, in metal, glass and iron, brings a bolder tone above a counter. See the modern kitchen pendants.
Which design pendant light for a bedroom?
In a bedroom, the pendant often replaces the central ceiling light: a model in rattan, fabric or metal facing down gives ambient light, and a dimmable bulb lets you lower the intensity in the evening. A small diameter is enough above a reading corner or a desk.
Rattan, fabric or metal: which material for a bedroom?
Woven rattan diffuses warm light and adds texture, fabric softens contrasts, metal structures the room. Ombelle and its woven rattan comes in 60, 80 and 100 cm, and Mila, in fabric and metal, is available in 40, 50 and 60 cm. More models are waiting in the bedroom pendants.
How do you adjust the intensity in the evening?
Dimming depends on the bulb, not the fixture: most models in the collection take a dimmable bulb. Choose a dimmable LED bulb of 2700 to 3000 K for the early evening. For a desk corner, a more neutral bulb stays more comfortable. The adult bedroom pendants gather the discreet formats.
Which XXL pendant light for a high ceiling?
Under a high ceiling, a large diameter or long pendant avoids the empty effect: the collection goes up to 67 cm in diameter and some references reach more than 3 m total height thanks to their adjustable cable. The aim is to bring the light back into the living area.
What diameter should you choose for a great height?
Below a 3 m ceiling, a diameter of 40 to 60 cm is enough in most rooms. Above that, aim for 67 cm like Marble, the large gold format, or 80 to 100 cm with Ombelle. Cambio in aluminium plays on length rather than volume.
How do you avoid the empty effect under a high ceiling?
Bring the fixture down to around 60 to 80 cm above the worktop or table, and do not multiply the points if one large model already fills the space. Duality black drops to 342 cm for a small 16 cm diameter. Compare with the modern style pendants and the ceiling pendant lights.

Can you install an E27 pendant light in a bathroom?
The pendants in this collection are IP20: they are intended for dry rooms, not for a wet room where humidity and splashes are possible. For a bathroom, you need a higher protection rating, such as IP44 or more, and the fixture should be placed away from the wettest areas.
What does IP20 mean on a pendant light?
The IP rating describes resistance to dust and water. IP20 means the fixture is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm but not against splashes. This is the expected level in a living room, bedroom, hallway or dining room.
What protection rating should you aim for in a wet room?
In a bathroom, the rating to choose depends on the distance between the fixture and the bath or shower: the closer the point, the higher the rating must be. An IP44 model suits areas near water, while IP20 remains fine in the centre of the room, away from splashes.
How do you spot an original pendant light?
An original pendant light is recognised by its shape and material more than its wattage: ball, drop, oval or free silhouette, woven rattan, clear glass, metal combined with fabric. These models become the landmark of the room and are chosen for their line as much as for the light.
Which materials for a pendant light that stands out?
Ball shapes are the most common, followed by round, drop and oval shapes. Metal dresses most models, often combined with glass, iron or rattan. The design pieces and glass pendants stand out from the usual register with their transparency.
How do you avoid an overly busy fixture?
One strong element per room is enough: if the fixture is very elaborate, keep the walls and furniture calm. Conversely, in an already colourful interior, a simple shape in metal blends in without disappointing. Also look at the ball shapes and the hallway and entrance models.

E27 pendant light in black, white or gold: which colour should you choose?
Black stands out on a light ceiling and structures the room; white and beige blend into the decor and visually lighten; gold warms a neutral-toned interior and catches the light. The choice depends above all on the contrast you want to create with the wall and furniture.
Gold or black pendant light: what effect for each room?
Black dresses many models in the collection and suits graphic interiors, kitchens and offices. Gold, found on many references, warms a living room in grey or beige tones. See the black pendants and the gold pendants.
Which colour should you choose for a small volume?
In a room with a low ceiling or narrow space, a light shade lightens and lets the eye travel. White, beige and light grey are the safest, as in the white pendants. Keep black for a long hallway or an already bright room.
The choice therefore comes down to three decisions: the diameter suited to the room, the material that matches your interior, and the E27 bulb that gives the right light temperature. Browse the LED models if you are looking for controlled consumption. On the practical side, Designix offers secure payment, tracked delivery, returns and a reachable customer service.
Frequently asked questions
Which pendant light should you choose for a kitchen island?
An island is treated like a worktop: you need light that falls on the surface without dazzling. Two or three aligned E27 pendants, small in diameter and with the cable adjusted short, often replace a single large fixture, with a bulb powerful enough to see clearly.
Which XXL pendant light for a high ceiling?
Under a high ceiling, choose a large diameter or a model that hangs low: the collection goes up to 67 cm in diameter and some references exceed 3 m total height thanks to their adjustable cable. The goal is to bring the light back into the area where you live.
Which pendant light for an IP44 bathroom?
The pendants in this collection are IP20, a rating intended for dry rooms. A bathroom requires at least a higher protection rating, such as IP44, to withstand humidity and splashes, and the fixture must stay away from the most exposed areas.
How do you recognise an original pendant light?
An original pendant is chosen for its shape and material: ball, drop, oval or free silhouette, woven rattan, clear glass, metal combined with fabric. These details are what make a fixture stand out in a room, far more than its wattage.
Which design pendant light should you choose for a bedroom?
In a bedroom, a model in rattan, fabric or metal that diffuses downwards creates soft light. A small diameter is enough above a reading corner or a desk. If the bulb is dimmable, you can lower the intensity in the evening.
