Fabula Hillcrest Pendant - Matt Black & Grey - IP65

Built to Withstand the Weather

Finished in matt black with grey accents, the Hillcrest pendant is a robust hanging light that works equally well outdoors and in. A single E27 bulb sits sheltered within the shade, protected from rain while still allowing light to spread out and below. The IP65 rating means it will stand up to exposure and rain for years without degradation.

Choosing Your Finish

Matt black with grey detailing keeps the look practical and unfussy, sitting comfortably in both contemporary and traditional settings. Outdoors, the matt finish prevents glare from catching the eye, and the grey accents provide subtle visual interest. Inside, the same finish reads as hardwearing rather than precious.

How It Works

One E27 bulb slots into the lampholder beneath the shade, and the fitting is wired to Class I standards, meaning it needs an earth connection during installation. You can use a dimmable bulb here if you want to adjust the brightness, provided you also have a compatible dimmer switch installed. The light requires a ceiling mounting and an adaptor box to connect to your wiring.

Where It Works Best

With its IP65 rating, this pendant excels when hung over a porch, under a covered entrance, or in any outdoor area exposed to weather. Because it works indoors just as well, you could also use it in an interior hallway or entrance where you want a simple, unfussy pendant. It is a genuine dual purpose fitting, equally at home either side of the door.

Design Details

Built from iron and die cast aluminium, the Hillcrest is engineered for durability rather than decoration. The simple lines mean there is nothing fancy to corrode or break down over time, just a solid, hardwearing design that does its job year after year. This is practical lighting rather than a statement piece.
