Mantra Calice 48cm Rise And Fall Pendant 16W LED - White

Clean Lines, Wide Spread

Calice in white keeps the pendant's sharp, cone shaped silhouette but lets it recede into a light scheme rather than stand out from it. It is a straightforward way to add a sculptural pendant to a room without introducing another strong colour.

Choosing Your Finish

This version is finished entirely in white, shade and diffuser both, so it sits easily against white or pale ceilings and blends with almost any decorating scheme. The same 48cm shade is also made in a coffee and white combination and in a black and white finish, both built on the identical rise and fall frame, if you would rather the pendant read as a stronger feature.

How It Works

Power comes from a single integrated 16W LED, delivering roughly 1200 lumens of 3000K warm white light at a wide 120 degree spread, so the flat underside of the shade lights up evenly rather than leaving a bright hotspot in the centre. Colour rendering is rated at CRI 80. There is no dimming function built in, so it is intended for use on a standard switched circuit rather than a dimmer. A rise and fall fitting inside the stem lets the shade be raised or lowered along the cable between a 45cm minimum and a 200cm maximum drop.

Where It Works Best

The 48cm shade gives this pendant enough scale to anchor a dining table or a kitchen island as the main light source in the room, and the neutral white finish means it will not compete with worktops, tiles or other fittings nearby. Because the drop adjusts by hand, the same fitting can be set low over a table or raised higher for a hallway, landing or bedroom, and the rooms it is intended for include the kitchen, dining room, living room, hallway and bedroom.

Made By Mantra

Mantra has been designing lighting in Valencia since 2000, building a catalogue around the idea that a fitting could look properly considered without carrying a designer price tag. Rather than relying on one signature style, the company has brought in named designers over the years, among them Jose Ignacio Ballester and Santiago Sevillano, to keep its ranges moving with current tastes while an in house team handles the rest of the collection. It is worth being clear eyed about where Mantra sits: it is not aiming to rival names like Flos or Artemide, but its combination of an established design process and wide availability makes it a considerably more credible choice than an unbranded fitting at a similar price.

Questions People Ask

Will the white finish yellow or discolour over time?
Mantra does not list specific coating information for this finish beyond the standard aluminium and acrylic construction, so we cannot promise a particular ageing performance, though it is designed as a normal indoor light fitting rather than one exposed to strong sunlight or moisture.

What is the minimum ceiling height this pendant needs?
Because the shade can be raised to a 45cm drop, it can be fitted in rooms with fairly low ceilings, though you should also allow space below the shade for anyone walking underneath it.

Is this pendant suitable for a kitchen island?
Yes, the 48cm shade and adjustable drop make it a good match for kitchen islands and dining tables where a single, centrally hung light is needed.
