{"product_id":"schwung-globe-single-pendant-opal-mat-glass","title":"Schwung Globe Single Pendant - Opal Mat Glass","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA Single Globe, Softly Lit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Globe Single Pendant is Schwung's simplest fitting: one hand blown glass globe hung from a slim brass rod off a small ceiling canopy. In Opal Mat glass it is also the most versatile of the three, a fitting that slots into almost any room without asking for attention. There is no pattern to read, no texture to notice from across the room, just a warm, even sphere of light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn Opal Mat Glass\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpal Mat glass fully diffuses the bulb inside it, so you see a soft, glare free glow rather than the bulb itself. It is the most liveable of Schwung's three glass types precisely because it disappears into the background. Where Marble adds visual depth and Dries Ribbon adds texture, Opal Mat keeps things quiet and even, which is why it tends to be the first choice for anyone wanting a single, dependable pendant rather than a statement piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChoose Your Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brass frame is available in Lacquered Burnished Brass, Black Gunmetal, or Polished Nickel. Lacquered Burnished Brass has a warm, slightly aged tone that will not tarnish further thanks to its lacquer coating. Black Gunmetal gives a darker, more graphic outline against the pale glass. Polished Nickel is the coolest and most reflective of the three, suited to brighter, more contemporary rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach pendant takes a single E14 bulb, supplied as a 5W LED (maximum rated load 10W) giving a warm 3000K white light at around 450 to 500 lumens, and runs on standard 220 to 240V mains. It is dimmable, but only with a compatible trailing edge or ELV LED dimmer, so check your existing dimmer before fitting one. The glass globe measures 20cm across, and the overall drop adjusts from around 42.5cm up to 132.5cm using the extension rods supplied in the box. The fitting weighs 2.5kg in total and is rated IP20, meaning it is designed for dry indoor use only. It is hard wired, not plug in, and comes complete with canopy, rods, and bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere It Works Best\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the light is so evenly diffused, Opal Mat suits places where you want a soft, unfussy glow rather than a feature: over a kitchen island, beside a bed, in a hallway, or repeated at staggered drops above a dining table. It also works well as a single central pendant in a small room, since it fills the space with light without becoming the focal point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMade by Schwung\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSchwung was founded in 2014 in Namyslow, Poland, by Belgian designer Dominique Sente and Dutch designer Rudi Nijssen. Every fitting, including this one, is made to order in solid brass and mouth blown glass at the Namyslow workshop. According to Schwung, the studio's approach favours the honesty of the material and the simplicity of the form over applied decoration, which is exactly what the Globe Single in Opal Mat sets out to demonstrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to Know\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order in Poland, estimated lead time of 4 to 6 weeks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot returnable, as with all Schwung fittings, since each one is made to order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlobe diameter approximately 20cm, adjustable drop from around 42.5cm to 132.5cm using the extension rods supplied\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal weight approximately 2.5kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTakes 1 x E14 LED bulb, 5W supplied, maximum rated load 10W, 3000K warm white, roughly 450 to 500 lumens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP20 rated, dimmable with a compatible trailing edge or ELV LED dimmer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass care: clean regularly with a soft cloth or duster, a damp cloth can also be used, dry the frame fully before switching back on, do not use cleaning agents on brass parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlass care: clean the outside with a soft dry cloth, use a damp cloth first on dirtier glass, a gentle glass cleaner will lift grease\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoonlight Design recommends installation by a registered NICEIC electrician\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions People Ask\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the Opal Mat glass be dimmed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, but only with a dimmer switch designed for LED loads, specifically trailing edge or ELV.
