Hudson Valley Bennett 1 Light Pendant - Aged Brass

A ribbed glass pendant in aged brass, with an exposed carbon filament bulb

Bennett is built around a hand blown, octagonal ribbed glass shade that hangs open at the base, leaving the bulb inside fully visible rather than hidden. A simple brass bulb holder at the top keeps the focus on the glass and the warm filament glow beneath it.

Aged brass with ribbed glass

The bulb holder and ceiling fittings are finished in aged brass, a warm, softly burnished tone that suits both traditional and more industrial leaning interiors. The glass shade itself is hand blown, so slight variations in the ribbing and thickness are normal rather than a flaw.

How it works

Bennett takes a single E27 bulb rated up to 40W (not supplied), ideally a decorative filament style bulb given how exposed it sits within the glass. It measures around 32.4cm in height and 13.3cm in width, with a minimum drop of about 43cm and a maximum drop of around 180cm, so the hanging height can be adjusted to suit the ceiling and the table or surface below. As a mains wired fitting it should be installed by a qualified electrician.

Where it works best

It suits living rooms, dining rooms, hallways and staircases where a single, characterful pendant is wanted, above a dining table, in a stairwell, or grouped in multiples along a run of ceiling. The exposed glass and bulb work particularly well where a slightly industrial or vintage note is wanted alongside warmer brass tones.

Questions People Ask

Does the Bennett pendant come with a light bulb?
No bulb is included. Bennett takes a single E27 bulb rated up to 40W, and because the bulb sits fully exposed inside the ribbed glass shade, a decorative filament style bulb works best with this design.

Can I adjust how low the Bennett pendant hangs?
Yes. The pendant has a minimum drop of about 43cm and a maximum drop of around 180cm, so an electrician can set the hanging height to suit your ceiling and whatever table or surface sits below it.

Will the glass shade on my pendant look exactly like the one in the photos?
Each shade is hand blown, so small variations in the ribbing and glass thickness are normal and part of the character of the piece rather than a fault.

Does the Bennett pendant need professional installation?
Yes. This is a mains wired fitting, so it should be installed by a qualified electrician, and we recommend using a registered NICEIC electrician for the work.

Can I return the Bennett pendant if I change my mind?
This pendant is made to order by Hudson Valley Lighting, so it is not eligible for return once ordered. It is worth checking the finish, dimensions and bulb requirements carefully before placing your order.
