Vintage Birdcage Pendant — Iron, 5 cage forms, E27, rotary switch, industrial-vintage
The open iron cage is the defining design feature — it allows the bulb to be fully visible and casts intricate shadow patterns on the ceiling and walls, which is particularly effective in rooms with white or pale surfaces. A filament LED E27 at 2700K is the recommended pairing: the warm amber glow through the iron cage creates an authentic industrial-vintage atmosphere. A globe or oversized filament bulb enhances the effect further. The five forms allow you to match the fitting to the scale and character of the space: the Rad (H20×Ø30 cm) is the most compact and suits hallways, kitchens, and smaller spaces; the Vintage Lampshade (H33×Ø41 cm) and Cross Cage (H28×Ø41 cm) are the widest and suit dining tables; the Ball Cage (H43×Ø43 cm) is the most dramatic and suits open-plan living areas; the Classic Birdcage (H61×Ø30 cm) is the tallest and most sculptural, suited to high-ceilinged spaces and double-height rooms. The rotary switch on the cable allows on/off control without a wall switch. A qualified electrician is recommended for installation. Browse the full pendant lights collection for more styles.
The black iron finish suits industrial, loft, Nordic, and contemporary interiors and pairs well with exposed brick, timber, and concrete surfaces. The open cage means there is no diffusion — the bulb is fully exposed, so avoid high-glare bulbs if the fitting is at eye level. The fitting is for indoor dry use only. Bulbs are sold separately.

Common questions
Which form should I choose?
+
The Rad (H20×Ø30 cm) is the most compact — suited to hallways, kitchens, and smaller spaces. The Vintage Lampshade (H33×Ø41 cm) and Cross Cage (H28×Ø41 cm) are the widest and suit dining tables. The Ball Cage (H43×Ø43 cm) is the most dramatic and suits open-plan living areas. The Classic Birdcage (H61×Ø30 cm) is the tallest and most sculptural — best for high-ceilinged spaces. Check ceiling height before ordering the Classic Birdcage.
What bulb should I use for the best industrial look?
+
A filament LED E27 at 2700K is the recommended choice — the warm amber glow through the iron cage creates an authentic industrial-vintage atmosphere. A globe or oversized filament bulb enhances the effect further. Avoid cool white bulbs (4000K+) as they clash with the warm iron finish. Bulbs are not included.
How does the rotary switch work?
+
The rotary switch is located on the pendant cable and allows you to turn the light on and off without using a wall switch. It does not control brightness — for dimming, a dimmable E27 bulb and a compatible dimmer switch would be required.
Is it dimmable?
+
Dimmability is not confirmed for the fitting. It depends on the bulb chosen (must be marked dimmable) and whether a compatible dimmer switch is installed. The rotary switch controls on/off only, not brightness.
Does it need an electrician to install?
+
Yes — this is a hardwired ceiling pendant that connects directly to a mains circuit. A qualified electrician is recommended for installation.
