Searchlight Orbit 8 Light Pendant - Matt Black

An Orbiting Frame of Matt Black Metal

The Orbit pendant is built from rings of matt black metal that cross through each other like the paths of an orbit, with eight candle style lights held where the rings intersect. It has real scale and presence, working as a sculptural centrepiece rather than a fitting that disappears into the ceiling. With the bulbs exposed rather than hidden behind a shade, it gives a warm, layered glow along with its striking silhouette.

Matt Black Metal

Every ring is finished in a flat matt black, which keeps the many crossing lines of the frame from feeling busy or shiny. The eight candle style bulb holders sit at different points around the sphere, so the light spreads outward in multiple directions rather than straight down. Its dark, graphic look works well against pale walls and ceilings, where the frame reads almost like a piece of line art.

How It Works

• Frame in iron, finished in matt black
• Takes 8 x E14 candle bulbs, around 6W LED each (60W incandescent equivalent), not included
• Dimmable, if used with compatible dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch
• Chain and cable are adjustable and can be shortened to suit your ceiling height
• Class I, requires an earthed connection

Where It Works Best

Its size and drop make it best suited to a room with a reasonable ceiling height, such as over a dining table, in a stairwell or hallway with a double height ceiling, or as the main light in an open plan living or kitchen space. Because it reads as a striking piece in its own right, it works well in modern or industrial styled interiors where you want one strong focal point rather than several smaller fittings.

Questions People Ask

What bulbs does the Orbit pendant take?
It takes eight E14 candle bulbs. We'd recommend an LED of around 6W per bulb, which gives the same brightness as an old 60W incandescent candle bulb. Bulbs are not included.

Can this pendant be dimmed?
Yes, but only if it's fitted with dimmable LED bulbs and used with a compatible dimmer switch. Standard, non dimmable bulbs will not dim even on a dimmer circuit.

Can the drop be adjusted?
Yes, the chain and cable can be shortened, so the pendant can be hung lower or higher depending on your ceiling height.

Is there a version in a different finish?
Yes, the Orbit pendant is also available in antique brass, sold separately.
