Pendant 171

This was a replacement for one that had become brittle and had gone to "amber" , not white - but It took about 3 decades! We looked at alternatives, but in the end came back to one that looks good and simply works. One can sit around the dinette table over which it hovers without looking into a light bulb - something I hate!

It is quite attractive for essentially being some form of plastic. A little on the delicate side. It is very light. Used a CREE 100 watt, 5000k, daylight bulb. This is 171B so it takes 100 watt. The white light goes well with the white shade color. For those interested in a different use, I turned it into a swag light with chain and ended up using only the shade. I bought the chain, wire, hooks, white in-line dimmer switch and white plug at a big hardware store, you know the one, and the white lamp holder from an online store specializing in such things where I also bought more pure white lamp cord. Don't depend on that big hardware store having the lamp holder you want. The shade allows any wire or bulb holder you want to use. It ended up being easy. You just have to give up the white cord to the ceiling, and the cone housing, and instead use white chain with white cord in it. Just swag it over and down your wall, plug it in. That kills the warranty but when there is only a shade left, there isn't much to worry about and no one knows the difference. My building in Manhattan has concrete ceilings/floors, two foot thick. Running wires is impossible. Swag was the only way and it really looks quite good, just as pictured, just a white chain going straight up, not the white cord. One comment, the light came fast, not problems there but for some reason, the manufacture doesn't enclose instructions. For some wanting to use as designed, they might need them especially for seeing that nothing is missing in the box. The manufacture was to send them but I never did get them. Note also that if you use the accompanying cord, it might take a little work to make it straight. Putting in a heavy bulb like the CREE will actually help with that. With the thinner wire in the swag chain, it wasn't an issue.

Lovely modern dining room fixture for new townhouse development. This was selected by the buyer but we are excited to be installing it in his home...

beautiful...arrived quickly

We ordered this light as a dining room chandelier for our 50s modern-style house. I was worried that it wouldn't be enough light, but it ended up being plenty. My husband was very skeptical after seeing the picture online, but he really likes the look now that it's hanging. The light is so stylish and was the perfect finishing touch to the space.
