Hemp Rope Pendant — hand-braided natural fibre, E27 socket, 5 lengths, open bulb design
This is a hardwired pendant requiring a qualified electrician for installation. The rope length is fixed at the variant you select — it cannot be shortened or extended after purchase, so choose carefully based on your ceiling height and desired drop. The bulb is fully exposed with no shade — bulb choice is critical both aesthetically and thermally: use a filament LED (E27, 4–6W, 2200–2700K) for the warmest, most authentic look; avoid high-wattage incandescent bulbs, which generate heat that could damage the hemp fibres over time. The 40W maximum is a hard limit — do not exceed it. Hemp is a natural fibre and will show slight colour variation and texture irregularities between units — this is a feature, not a defect. Keep away from open flames and direct heat sources. No dimming is built in; dimmability depends on the bulb and a compatible dimmer switch. Browse the full pendant lights collection for more styles.
Choose your length based on ceiling height and desired drop: the 1m variant suits standard 2.4–2.5m ceilings above a table or island; the 2–3m variants are ideal for double-height spaces, stairwells, or dramatic loft installations where a long, sculptural drop is the point. For a standard dining table, hang the bulb 70–80cm above the surface — calculate the rope length accordingly. Clustering three ropes at staggered lengths (e.g. 1m, 1.5m, 2m) creates a striking, organic composition. The hemp texture pairs naturally with raw wood, linen, rattan, exposed brick, and warm terracotta tones. For styling ideas, read our guide on home lighting ideas.
Common questions
Which length should I choose for my ceiling height?
+
Measure from your ceiling rose to the desired bulb position, then add the bulb length (typically 10–15cm). For a dining table in a 2.5m room, you typically want the bulb 70–80cm above the table — so a 1m or 1.5m rope usually works. For stairwells or double-height spaces, the 2.5m or 3m variants give the dramatic drop needed. The rope length is fixed after purchase — choose carefully.
Is hemp rope safe near a hot bulb?
+
Yes, when used correctly. Hemp is a natural fibre and is not inherently flammable at normal LED operating temperatures. The key is to use a low-wattage LED bulb (4–6W) — these generate very little heat. Do not use incandescent or halogen bulbs, which run much hotter and could damage the fibres over time. Never exceed the 40W maximum. Keep the pendant away from open flames and direct heat sources.
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 for a safe and compliant installation.
What bulb looks best with this rope pendant?
+
Because the bulb is fully exposed, shape and colour temperature matter. A globe filament LED (G95 or G125, E27, 4–6W, 2200–2700K) gives the most striking result — the warm amber filament glow complements the natural hemp texture beautifully. An Edison (ST64) shape also works well. Avoid frosted or opaque bulbs, which look flat without a shade to diffuse them.
Can I cluster several rope pendants at different lengths?
+
Yes — clustering three ropes at staggered lengths (e.g. 1m, 1.5m, 2m) creates an organic, sculptural composition that works beautifully in open-plan spaces, above dining tables, or in stairwells. Each pendant requires its own ceiling connection point — plan the layout with your electrician before installation.
