Searchlight Mellon 4 Light Pendant - Chrome & Rain Drop Glass

A Shower of Rain Drop Glass

The Searchlight Mellon is a 4 light pendant in chrome, hung with rain drop shaped glass drops that catch and scatter the light for a gentle, all over sparkle. It is also a substantial fixture: the glass spreads 44cm wide at its base, the chain can hang up to 131cm, and the whole fitting weighs 8.7kg, so it is worth checking the space and your ceiling before ordering.

Materials and Finish

The frame is mild steel and glass, finished in chrome, with clear rain drop shaped glass pieces hanging from the ring in overlapping layers. Because the glass is designed to catch and scatter light, it can look noticeably different once the bulbs are lit compared with how it looks unlit or in a photo, and screens do not always render clear glass exactly the way it looks in person.

How It Works

It takes four E27 candle bulbs, not included, and can be dimmed with an external dimmer installation. It is a Class I fixture and needs to be earthed. Fitting should always be carried out by a qualified electrician, who should also confirm the ceiling fixing point is suitable for the fitting's weight before hanging it.

Where It Works Best

Hanging up to 131cm on its chain, with a 44cm spread of glass at the base, the Mellon works well as a feature pendant over a dining table, in a living room, bedroom, hallway or stairwell.
