| Finish | Chrome and white |
| Socket | G4 bi-pin |
| Voltage | Mains, 110V |

| Bulbs | Not included |
- Check the bulb is 110V - this pendant is wired for mains, not low voltage. A 12V G4 bulb will blow immediately, and no transformer should be added.
- Match the chrome cap to cool metals - nickel taps, steel appliances. In a room of brass and warm wood the cool cap can look out of place.
- Use a warm 2700K bulb - so the alabaster glows honey-warm behind the cool cap.
- Treat it as an accent - the sphere is small, so plan the working light separately.
- Hardwire to a ceiling box by a licensed electrician, with the 59 inch wire cut to length.
An alabaster sphere under a metal cap
This pendant sets a single sphere of alabaster beneath a polished metal top. The stone is the light source; the metal cap hides the fitting and throws a highlight across the top of the sphere. The result is an Art Deco silhouette that reads as one clean shape from across a room.
At just under a metre tall it suits a stairwell, an entry, or a spot where a long single pendant has room to hang.

This one is mains voltage, not low voltage
The G4 base is usually a low voltage fitting, but this pendant is wired for 110V mains and takes a 110V G4 bulb. Fitting a 12V bulb will blow it immediately. Check the bulb box says 110V before it goes in, and do not add a transformer.
Chrome or warm metals
The chrome cap reads cool and modern against the warm stone. It suits a room with other cool metals, nickel taps, steel appliances. In a room of brass and warm wood the cool cap can look out of place, so match the metal to what is already there.
Warm bulb behind the stone
A 2700K bulb lets the alabaster glow honey-warm. The sphere is small, so the light is an accent rather than a room light. Plan the working light separately and let this one be the thing you look at.
Installation
Hardwired to a ceiling box by a licensed electrician. The 59 inch wire is cut to length on the day.
