Fabula Roding 16 Light Pendant - Polished Chrome & Smoked Glass

Sixteen Smoked Glass Globes in a Chrome Frame

Roding brings playful drama to a staircase or tall hallway space, clustering sixteen smoked glass spheres across a polished chrome frame with a G9 lamp holder glowing inside each one. The collection of globes creates a sculptural, almost bubbly effect rather than a conventional pendant, making this the kind of light that gets noticed and commented on rather than just providing illumination.

Choosing Your Finish

The polished chrome frame stays sleek and understated, deliberately keeping itself secondary to the smoked glass spheres which are the real visual attraction. The chrome pairs with the grey tones of the smoked glass naturally, without any jarring contrast between warm and cool finishes.

How It Works

Sixteen G9 lamp holders sit inside individual smoked glass spheres, each one glowing softly through the semi transparent glass to create a warm, diffused light rather than harsh brightness. The smoked glass takes the edge off the light output, making it feel warmer and gentler than clear glass would be. It's wired to Class I standards, requiring an earth connection. Installation requires an adaptor, so check compatibility with your ceiling rose before ordering.

Where It Works Best

This pendant is genuinely best suited to spaces with good ceiling height and enough visual room for a 60cm diameter design to stand out properly. Staircases are perfect, as are tall hallways or the space above a large dining table. This is a light that demands space to breathe and show off its design.

Design Details

The sixteen glass spheres are individually selected for consistency in colour and opacity, and the chrome frame engineering keeps them evenly spaced and secure without visible mechanical joints or support struts. The overall effect is more sculptural art piece than functional fitting, though it certainly provides good light when all sixteen bulbs are switched on. The weight is substantial at 6.8kg, which is why solid ceiling fixings are essential.

Questions People Ask

Do I need all sixteen bulbs?
No, you can run this pendant with fewer bulbs if you prefer a dimmer effect, or leave some sockets empty. However, sixteen gives the design its intended impact.

Is the adaptor included?
No, the ceiling adaptor is sold separately. You'll need to confirm your current ceiling rose type before ordering to ensure compatibility.

Are the bulbs included?
No, this pendant takes sixteen G9 bulbs which are sold separately. That's quite a lot, so you might want to order dimmable ones to control the overall brightness.
