Searchlight Orbit 8 Light Pendant - Satin Silver

An Orbiting Sphere of Light

The Orbit 8 Light Pendant builds a whole light fitting out of rings. Interlocking bands of satin silver metal cross over each other to form a sphere, with eight candle style lamp holders arranged inside. It's a striking piece for anyone who wants a ceiling light that reads as sculpture first and light source second, ideal as a talking point pendant in an open plan kitchen or a double height hallway.

Satin Silver Metal, Built to Take Centre Stage

This version of the Orbit is finished in satin silver, a soft, low sheen metal finish that catches light along each ring without turning glossy or reflective. The finish sits well with brushed steel appliances, black ironmongery or warm wood tones, so it can anchor a modern kitchen scheme or soften into a more traditional dining room with equal ease.

How It Works

• Iron construction, formed into a globe of interlocking rings around a central rod fitted with eight candle style lamp holders.
• Takes 8 x E14 candle bulbs, sold separately. Each holder takes a bulb of around 6W LED (60W incandescent equivalent), the closest modern replacement for the fitting's original rating.
• Dimmable, provided dimmable LED bulbs are fitted and paired with a compatible dimmer switch.
• Height is adjustable via the chain, so the drop can be shortened to suit ceiling height at installation.
• Wired to Class I (earthed), fixed to the ceiling via the included ceiling rose.

Where It Works Best

At 82cm wide and with a maximum drop of 213cm, the Orbit needs a room with some height and space to let the sphere breathe, over a dining table, above a kitchen island, or suspended in a stairwell or double height hallway. It reads equally well in a living room as a single dramatic pendant over a seating area. Because the frame is open, it throws light in every direction rather than pooling it downward, so it suits rooms where general ambient light matters as much as the display piece itself.

Good to Know

• Returns are accepted in line with Moonlight Design's standard returns policy.
• Wipe the satin silver frame with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can dull the finish.
• Bulbs are not included, so have 8 x E14 candle LED bulbs ready before installation.

Questions People Ask

How many bulbs does the Orbit 8 Light Pendant need, and are they included?
It takes 8 x E14 candle bulbs, sold separately. An LED bulb rated at around 6W is the closest modern equivalent to the fitting's original 60W incandescent rating.

Can the Orbit pendant be hung lower or higher than the maximum drop?
Yes. The chain is adjustable, so an installer can shorten it to bring the sphere closer to the ceiling in a lower room, up to the maximum drop of 213cm.

Is the Orbit pendant suitable for a bathroom?
No. It's rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms only, so it shouldn't be fitted anywhere it could be exposed to moisture.

Will the Orbit pendant work with a dimmer switch?
Yes, as long as it's fitted with dimmable LED bulbs and wired to a compatible dimmer control.
