LAVA Cognac Sculptural Glass Pendant Light for Kitchen Island, Dining Room & Entryway

Over a kitchen island or a dining table where it's the only light, take the large. At 13.78 inches across it holds the space on its own. The medium at 9.84 inches suits a nook, a bedside, a small breakfast bar, or a group of three over a longer island. In a group the mediums read better, because they leave air between the shades.

Medium is 9.84 inches (250 mm) across, large is 13.78 inches (350 mm). Both drop to a maximum of 68.90 inches (1750 mm) from the ceiling, and you set the length during install.

One E26 bulb, not included. The choice matters more here than on most fixtures, because the glass is clear and you see the bulb through it. Go with a clear LED filament at 2700K or 3000K. A frosted or opal bulb flattens the whole thing. Around 6W is right for the medium and 14W for the large.

Warm and direct rather than soft and diffused. Light goes straight through the clear glass and picks up the cognac on the way, so the room reads warmer than the bulb alone would make it. Over a dining table that's exactly what you want. Over a work surface you'll want other light in the room too, and a dimmer is worth having so you can pull it right back in the evening.

Yes, and the medium is the one for it. Three in a row over an island, roughly 24 to 30 inches apart, or three at staggered heights in a stairwell. Each one is a separate fixture on its own canopy though, so three pendants means three ceiling boxes. Worth sorting out before the electrician shows up.

Over a kitchen island or counter, 30 to 36 inches from the surface to the bottom of the shade. Over a dining table, 28 to 34 inches from the tabletop. Lower feels more intimate, higher spreads the light wider. You set the exact drop during install.

Clear glass shows dust and fingerprints more than opal does, and it shows them most when the light is on, so plan on wiping it a bit more often than a fabric shade. Turn it off and let the bulb cool first. Dry microfibre for dust, a barely damp cloth and a dry buff for marks. Spray the cloth, not the fixture, and handle it by the metal when you change a bulb.

Yes, with an external dimmer switch or smart bulbs. There's no built-in dimmer, so you're not locked into one system. Worth doing on this one, because dimmed low the filament through the cognac glass is most of the effect.

One per pendant. It's a single light on its own canopy, so three in a row means three ceiling boxes.

No, it's rated for dry locations only. Keep it out of bathrooms with a shower or tub, and anywhere else that gets damp, including covered outdoor areas.

Yes. cUL listed for both Canada and the US, so it passes inspection and won't cause issues with insurance or a home sale.

It's a hardwired fixture. If you're replacing an existing ceiling light on the same box, many people handle it themselves. If you're adding a new box or moving the location, use a licensed electrician.
