Fabula Amberley 2 Light Uplighter Pendant - 30cm Tiffany Shade - Blue & Cream

Soft Ambient Light Bounced from the Ceiling

This pendant inverts the familiar Tiffany shade design, turning it upside down to function as an uplighter that throws light up towards the ceiling rather than down into the room. The 30cm shade is constructed from fanned cream glass panels with blue tips and small clear crystal beads along the rim, so it still has character and presence despite the more directional light direction. The result is a softer, more ambient effect that suits dining and social spaces.

Choosing Your Finish

Cream and blue work well together in Tiffany glass, offering a natural colour combination that reads as calm rather than vibrant. The cream allows good light transmission, while the blue tipped points provide a subtle colour accent that complements both neutral and slightly more decorated interiors.

How It Works

Two E27 lamp holders sit inside the shade and point light upward to be diffused by the ceiling and surrounding walls. With dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer, light levels can be controlled for different moods throughout the day. The fitting is wired to Class I electrical standards, which means an earth connection is required. The IP20 rating indicates this is suitable for dry indoor spaces only.

Where It Works Best

Dining areas, living rooms, bedrooms and hallways all benefit from the softer ambient light that uplighters provide. Because light is bounced off the ceiling rather than directed downward, it feels less focused and more general, which suits spaces where you want overall illumination rather than task lighting. Keep it away from bathrooms and damp areas where IP rating would be a concern.

Design Details

Uplighters are less common than downlighting pendants, which is precisely what makes them useful: they solve a different lighting problem and create a different atmosphere. The Tiffany shade gives this uplighter a decorative quality that it might otherwise lack, so it reads as an intentional design choice rather than purely functional lighting.

Questions People Ask

Will this give me enough light for dining?
Yes, as long as you use two full power E27 bulbs, the light bounced from the ceiling will be bright enough for dining and general room illumination. LED bulbs are particularly effective here because you get brightness without heat.

How is the light direction different from a normal pendant?
A normal pendant throws light downward into the room, whereas this uplighter sends light toward the ceiling where it bounces back down and outward. The result feels more ambient and less focused, creating a softer overall atmosphere.

Can this be dimmed?
Yes, if you fit dimmable E27 bulbs and have a dimmer on the circuit, you can adjust the light level to suit the time of day or mood you want to create.
