Cage Pendant — Open Metal Frame, Multi-Socket Interior, Industrial Shadow Play
The open cage structure is the defining feature — the metal frame casts geometric shadow patterns on surrounding surfaces when lit, adding depth and visual interest beyond what a closed shade can achieve. The multiple inner sockets (3 in the Small, 4 in the Large) allow you to use multiple smaller bulbs rather than a single large one, which distributes the light more evenly and creates a more layered effect inside the cage. Filament LED bulbs at 2700K work particularly well here — the visible filaments add warmth and character through the open frame. The IP44 rating means this pendant is splash-proof and can be used in kitchens and bathroom zone 3 (outside the immediate shower or bath area). The chain mount is adjustable, allowing you to set the hanging height to suit your ceiling and table. Hardwired; a qualified electrician is required.

The Small (Ø30 cm) suits dining tables up to 100 cm wide, kitchen islands, or reading nooks; the Large (Ø40 cm) suits tables up to 140 cm and open-plan spaces where you want a stronger visual presence. Hang the bottom of the cage at 70–75 cm above a dining table surface. The industrial aesthetic works well in modern, Nordic, and vintage interiors — it pairs naturally with exposed brick, dark wood, and concrete surfaces.

Common questions
What bulbs should I use, and are they included?
+
No bulbs are included. The E27 sockets accept most standard bulbs. For the best visual effect with the open cage design, we recommend filament LED bulbs at 2700K in a globe or tubular shape — the warm glow and visible filament complement the industrial frame beautifully. Use the same bulb type in all sockets for a consistent look.
Can I use this pendant in a kitchen or bathroom?
+
Yes — the IP44 rating means this pendant is splash-proof and suitable for kitchens and bathroom zone 3 (outside the immediate shower or bath area, at least 60 cm from the water source). It is not suitable for zones 0 or 1 (inside or directly above the bath/shower).
Does this pendant need a qualified electrician to install?
+
Yes. This is a hardwired ceiling pendant that connects directly to your ceiling wiring. A qualified electrician should handle the installation to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations.
At what height should I hang the cage above a dining table?
+
Hang the bottom of the cage at 70–75 cm above the table surface for comfortable, glare-free light. The chain mount is adjustable, so your electrician can set the height during installation to suit your ceiling height and table position.
Which size should I choose?
+
The Small (Ø30 cm, 3 sockets) suits dining tables up to 100 cm wide, kitchen islands, or reading nooks where you want a focused accent. The Large (Ø40 cm, 4 sockets) suits tables up to 140 cm and open-plan spaces where you want a stronger visual presence and more light output.
