Fabula Amberley 3 Light Uplighter Pendant - 40cm Tiffany Shade - Amber & Cream

Light That Glows from Inside the Glass

This pendant works in reverse to a typical downlight: three lamps point upward into the 40cm Tiffany shade, lighting the glass from within and casting a soft, coloured glow across the ceiling instead of down onto the table below. The effect is striking, turning the shade itself into a lantern rather than just a container for bulbs, and the cream and amber glass creates a warm, amber tinted light that fills the space.

Choosing Your Finish

The shade is built from cream coloured glass panels with amber tips, a warm pairing that becomes more beautiful the moment you switch the three lamps on and watch the glass light up from behind. Other colour options exist across the Amberley range, including neutral and orange tones, so you could coordinate a set across multiple rooms if you wanted consistent lighting character throughout the home.

How It Works

Three E27 GLS bulbs sit in the base of the fitting, pointing upward into the glass rather than downward out into the room. This unusual arrangement is why the effect is so dramatic: instead of seeing lit glass from above, you see the glow radiating across the ceiling. The fitting is Class I rated, needs an earth connection, and is dimmable when used with dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer. Installation does require an adaptor.

Where It Works Best

This dramatic pendant shines in dining rooms and large hallways where you have ceiling height to work with and want people to look up and notice the light. It's less about practical illumination and more about creating an atmosphere and a focal point, so it works best in spaces where the lighting itself is part of the decor. It's intended for dry indoor rooms.

Design Details

The genius of an uplighter is that it turns a decorative object into a light source, rather than hiding the light source inside a decorative object. With Tiffany glass, this reversal is particularly effective: instead of seeing individual panels of coloured glass catching light, you see the entire shade glowing from within, like a lantern. Each panel is hand cut and assembled, meaning no two shades are exactly alike, and the combination of glass, resin, iron and K9 crystal gives the whole thing a craft made quality that mass produced fittings can't match.

Questions People Ask

How is this different from a normal pendant?
The bulbs point upward instead of downward, so light travels up through the Tiffany shade and glows across the ceiling rather than shining down onto the table or floor below.

What does the adaptor do?
An adaptor allows you to connect the fitting to your ceiling circuit safely. Your electrician will advise on the best type for your installation.

Is it bright enough for a dining table?
It provides atmosphere and ambient light rather than task lighting. If you need bright light for eating, you might want this plus additional lighting rather than relying on the pendant alone.
