Cage Pendant — open iron cage, shadow play, E27 socket, 40W maximum
This is a hardwired pendant requiring a qualified electrician for installation. The 100cm cable can be shortened at the ceiling rose during installation but cannot be extended. Note the 40W maximum — lower than many E27 pendants — which limits bulb choice; a filament LED (E27, 4–6W, 2200–2700K) is the ideal match: it stays well within the wattage limit, produces a warm amber glow, and the visible filament enhances the cage's decorative shadow effect. Avoid opaque or frosted bulbs, which block the filament and reduce the shadow play. The open cage design means the bulb is fully exposed — bulb aesthetics matter. The thermolaqué finish is durable but not scratch-proof; handle with care during installation. No dimming is built in; dimmability depends on the bulb and a compatible dimmer switch on the circuit.

This pendant works best as a focused accent or mood light rather than a primary room light — the open cage diffuses light in all directions but the 40W cap limits total output. Hang it 70–80cm above a dining table, kitchen island, or reading nook. Its compact, graphic form makes it ideal for clustering: two or three cages hung at the same or staggered heights create a strong industrial statement, and the overlapping shadow patterns add visual depth to walls and ceilings. Each pendant requires its own ceiling connection point. For styling ideas, read our guide on pendant lights over kitchen islands.
Common questions
Why is the maximum wattage only 40W for an E27 fitting?
+
The 40W limit is set by the fixture's wiring gauge and socket rating. Exceeding it risks overheating. In practice, a filament LED at 4–6W produces ample warm light for this style of pendant and stays well within the safe limit. Always check the wattage on your bulb packaging before fitting.
What bulb works best with this cage pendant?
+
A clear filament LED (E27, 4–6W, 2200–2700K) gives the best result — the visible filament glows warmly through the cage and creates the characteristic shadow pattern on surrounding surfaces. Avoid frosted or opaque bulbs, which hide the filament and reduce the decorative effect. Globe-shaped (G95 or G125) or tubular (T30) filament bulbs look particularly striking in this cage.
Does this pendant need an electrician to install?
+
Yes — this is a hardwired fixture with no plug. It connects directly to your ceiling wiring via a ceiling rose. We recommend a qualified electrician, who can also adjust the cable length to your preferred drop during installation.
Can I cluster several cage pendants together?
+
Yes — clustering two or three cages at staggered heights creates a strong industrial composition, and the overlapping shadow patterns from each cage add visual depth to the walls and ceiling. Each pendant requires its own ceiling connection point, so plan the layout with your electrician before installation.
Is this pendant suitable for a bathroom or outdoor use?
+
No — this pendant is rated IP20, which means it has no protection against moisture or water ingress. It must be installed in a dry indoor environment only. For bathrooms or outdoor use, you need a fitting rated IP44 or higher.
