The pendants here differ most in size and weight, and those two figures decide where each one works. This table sets eight of them side by side, smallest shade first. Every figure comes from the product's own specification.
Pendant | Shade size | Weight | Bulb in the specification | Hanging |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Beat Pendant Light, Tall | 18 cm across, 42 cm high | 2.1 kg | E27, 40 W recommended | 180 cm adjustable cable |
Flower Pot Lamp | 23 cm across, 15 cm high | 1 kg | E27, 45 W recommended | 180 cm adjustable cable |
Melt Pendant Lamp, small | 28 cm across, 25 cm high | 3 kg | E27 LED, 11 W maximum | 180 cm adjustable cable |
PH 5 Pendant Lamp, Mini | 30 cm across, 16.5 cm high | 1 kg | E27 golf ball, 60 W maximum | 180 cm adjustable cable |
George Nelson Bubble Lamp, small | 44.5 cm across, 17.8 cm high | 2 kg | E27, 60 W recommended | 180 cm adjustable cable |
Artichoke Lamp, 48 cm | 48 cm across, 46.5 cm high | 5 kg | E27, 100 W maximum | Hangs from 85 cm to 194 cm |
PH 5 Pendant Lamp | 50 cm across, 28 cm high | 4 kg | E27 golf ball, 60 W maximum | 180 cm adjustable cable |
Three-arm ceiling lamp | 210 cm wide, 60 cm high | 11 kg | Three E14, 60 W maximum each | Shades adjust, arms are fixed length |
Size is a range, not a single figure. Several pendants come in more than one size. The Bubble lamp is offered in small, medium, large and extra large, the Artichoke lamp in 48, 60, 72 and 84 cm, and the Melt pendant in small and large. The figures above are for the size named.
The PH 5 comes in two sizes. The Mini is 30 cm across and weighs 1 kg; the full size is 50 cm across and weighs 4 kg. Both take the same E27 golf ball bulb.
The widest piece is a ceiling lamp, not a drop. The three-arm ceiling lamp spans 210 cm and weighs 11 kg, more than twice the Artichoke lamp. Its shades turn, but its arms do not change length, so measure the room before you choose it.
All eight pendants in the table list an electrician as advised or recommended in their specification. A little planning makes the visit shorter.
Decide the drop first. Six of the eight come with a 180 cm cable that is fully adjustable, and the PH 5 pendant's page says the cable can be shortened during installation. Agree the height you want before the cable is cut. The Artichoke lamp adjusts between 85 cm and 194 cm instead.
Have the bulb ready. None of the eight includes a bulb. Seven take an E27 bulb and the three-arm ceiling lamp takes three E14 bulbs. The ratings run from an 11 W LED on the Melt pendant to 100 W on the Artichoke lamp, and both PH 5 sizes name a golf ball bulb.
Plan the dimmer separately. All eight are listed as dimmable, and all eight say the dimming device is not included. Choose a dimmer and a dimmable bulb that work together.
Tell the electrician the weight. The specification gives the weight of each pendant, from 1 kg for the PH 5 Mini and the Flower Pot Lamp to 11 kg for the three-arm ceiling lamp.
The product pages suggest where several of these pendants work best.
Over a dining table. The PH 5 pendant page describes it as giving balanced, glare-free light for a dining table, and the PH 5 Mini page suggests it for dining or kitchen areas. Both sit in the Poul Henningsen collection, alongside the Artichoke lamp.
In an open living or dining room. The Bubble lamp page describes its diffused glow for open dining and living areas. See the rest of the range in the George Nelson collection.
Across a large room. The three-arm ceiling lamp's page says its wide reach lights large living and dining rooms, and its shades turn to direct the light. It is part of the Serge Mouille collection.
In a group. The Beat pendant page suggests hanging several together for a stronger effect. At 18 cm across, the tall version has the narrowest shade in the table.
Some hanging shades, including the Artichoke lamp and both PH 5 sizes, are filed under ceiling lights on their product pages, so check that page too. For floor, table and wall lamps, go back to the full lighting collection.
A designer pendant light is a hanging lamp based on a well-known lamp design. In this collection, the pendants are reproductions in the style of designers such as Poul Henningsen, George Nelson, Serge Mouille and Verner Panton. Each product page states that the item is not manufactured by or affiliated with the original designer or associated parties.
Yes. All eight pendants compared on this page list an electrician as advised or recommended in their specification. A pendant is wired to a ceiling point rather than plugged into a socket. Check the Assembly line on the product page, and agree the drop and bulb with the electrician before the visit so the lamp is fitted in one go.
Six of the eight pendants compared here come with a 180 cm cable that is fully adjustable, and the PH 5 pendant's page says it can be shortened during installation. The Artichoke lamp in its 48 cm size adjusts between 85 cm and 194 cm. The three-arm ceiling lamp has arms of fixed length and shades that turn.
No. None of the eight pendants compared on this page includes a bulb. Seven take an E27 bulb and the three-arm ceiling lamp takes three E14 bulbs. Check the wattage in the specification: it ranges from an 11 W LED on the Melt pendant to 100 W on the Artichoke lamp, and both PH 5 sizes name a golf ball bulb.
The eight pendants compared here are all listed as dimmable, but none includes the dimming device, so you need a separate dimmer. Pair it with a dimmable bulb that suits the fitting. The PH 5 Mini and Flower Pot Lamp pages both say they work with dimmable LED bulbs and compatible switches.
Start with the shade size and the weight in the specification. Among the eight compared here, shades run from 18 cm across on the tall Beat pendant to 50 cm on the full PH 5, and the three-arm ceiling lamp spans 210 cm. Several pendants come in more than one size, so check the size options on each page.
Size and weight. The PH 5 pendant is 50 cm across, 28 cm high and weighs 4 kg. The PH 5 Mini is 30 cm across, 16.5 cm high and weighs 1 kg. Both are made of spun disc aluminium, take an E27 golf ball bulb up to 60 W and come with a 180 cm adjustable cable.
It varies widely. Among the eight compared on this page, the PH 5 Mini and the Flower Pot Lamp weigh 1 kg, the Artichoke lamp in its 48 cm size weighs 5 kg and the three-arm ceiling lamp weighs 11 kg. The weight is listed in each product specification, so share it with your electrician before installation.
Dust with a soft, dry cloth. The PH 5 pendant page advises against liquid cleaners on the painted finish, and the Beat pendant page advises against wet cleaning. The three-arm ceiling lamp and Bubble lamp pages recommend regular dusting with a microfibre cloth. The Flower Pot Lamp page suggests a soft cloth or duster for the shade.
It depends on the pendant and the finish. Some pieces and finishes are held in stock for faster dispatch, while others take longer. Each product page shows its current lead time under the Add to Cart button, and the delivery date is confirmed by email once the order is placed.
