Searchlight Dawson I 5 Light Multi-Drop Pendant - Satin Silver & Glass

A Cascading Multi-Drop for Stairwells and Long Tables

The Searchlight Dawson I 5 Light Multi-Drop Pendant gathers five glass shades at staggered heights below a satin silver frame, giving a relaxed, cascading look over a table or stairwell. Each drop is individually adjustable, with a maximum height of 120cm from the ceiling plate, so it can be set to follow a staircase or hang low over a table.

Materials and Finish

Made from mild steel and glass, finished in satin silver. The five shades are clear ribbed glass, so expect a slightly different look when the bulbs are off compared with when they are lit and glowing through the ribbed texture.

How It Works

Takes five E14 candle bulbs, not supplied, dimmable with suitable bulbs fitted. Each drop is adjustable at installation. As a Class I fixture it needs an earth connection, so installation by a qualified electrician is required.

Where It Works Best

Its staggered drops make it a good option for a dining room, hallway or stairwell where a multi drop pendant can follow the line of stairs or a long table. Because the drop heights are adjustable, it also works well in rooms with higher ceilings where a single fixed length pendant would sit too high.

Questions People Ask

How much space does this pendant need?
The five shades can drop to a maximum height of 120cm from the ceiling plate and spread across roughly 28cm. Each drop is adjustable at installation, so you can set it shorter if your ceiling is lower.

Can I dim this pendant?
Yes, as long as you fit dimmable E14 candle bulbs and use a compatible dimmer switch. The fixture itself does not include bulbs or a dimmer.

Does this need a qualified electrician to install?
Yes. This is a Class I fixture, which means it needs an earth connection, so it should be installed by a qualified electrician.

Can I use this pendant outdoors or in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which means it is only suitable for dry indoor locations away from moisture.

Will the glass shades look different once the bulbs are on?
Yes. The ribbed glass appears clear and fairly plain when unlit, but diffuses the light softly once the bulbs are switched on, which is why the lit and unlit photos look a little different.
