Tronic Antique 6-Arm Hanging Light with Beige Cloth Shade

Our review

This is a hanging pendant light from Tronic, built around a black iron frame with six arms and finished with a beige cloth shade. The combination of dark metal and soft fabric gives it an antique, slightly formal character, so it tends to suit dining rooms, stairwells, entryways or living areas where you want a warm focal point rather than bright, even task lighting. Because the shade is cloth, the light it throws will be softer and more diffused than a bare bulb or glass fixture, which is worth keeping in mind if you need strong illumination. Before buying, check the ceiling height and the weight your ceiling fitting can take, since a six-arm pendant of this kind hangs lower and heavier than a simple single shade. Also confirm the bulb type and wattage your chosen fitting accepts, and whether the drop can be adjusted to your room. Compared with a plain drum pendant, this design is more decorative and makes a stronger statement; compared with a chandelier, it is simpler and less ornate. It is available on Sokonia.
