Fabula Deacon 16 Light Pendant - Satin Black & Opal Glass

A Bold Centrepiece in Satin Black and Opal Glass

Sixteen arms fan out from a central satin black body on this pendant, each one topped with a softly glowing opal glass shade. Rather than throwing light in one direction, the opal glass diffuses it into a gentle, even glow that fills a room without any harsh points of brightness. It's a genuinely large fitting, built to hold its own above a dining table or in a stairwell with plenty of headroom.

Choosing Your Finish

Here the frame is finished in a matte, satin black that keeps the many arms looking cohesive rather than busy, while the opal glass shades add a soft white glow of their own even before you turn a bulb on. The same Deacon design is available in other finishes across the range, so if black isn't quite right for your room, there are alternatives to consider.

How It Works

Each of the sixteen arms takes a G9 capsule bulb, rated up to 10W, and bulbs are not included. Used with dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch, the light output can be turned down for a softer evening mood. It's wired to Class I electrical standards, so it needs to be earthed as part of installation, and it carries an IP20 rating, meaning it's designed for dry indoor spaces only rather than anywhere exposed to moisture.

Where It Works Best

Given the scale of this fitting, it works best somewhere with a bit of height and open space around it, such as a dining room, a wide hallway or above a staircase where it can be admired from more than one angle. Because of its IP20 rating, it's intended for dry indoor rooms only and shouldn't be fitted in bathrooms or other areas where it might be exposed to damp or splashing.

Design Details

This piece belongs to the Deacon range, and the design leans on a fairly simple idea, a central body with slender metal arms, executed sixteen times over so the overall shape feels sculptural rather than repetitive. The combination of metal arms and glass shades gives it a level of detail that reads well from below, whether the lights are on or off.
