Pendant Lights

Pendant lights hang a lamp below the ceiling on a cable, a flex or a short fixed drop, for example above tables and counters. This Knightsbridge range covers pre-wired E27 pendant sets in contemporary and vintage styles, Dasan pendants for a GU10 lamp, vintage cluster and bar pendants, a low profile 3 light ceiling pendant, and track pendants for TRKxx series track.

Choosing Pendant Lights

Start with the lamp the pendant takes, E27 or GU10, then pick the drop, the style and the finish.

Pendant sets

The 8270 contemporary and 8271 vintage sets are pre-wired lamp holders for an E27 lamp, with a terminal capacity of 2 x 1.5mm² on models such as the 8270LAB and 8271LBC. The 8270AB and 8271SB are 6 inch sets with a fixed drop. The 8270LAB and 8271LAB are pre-wired with a ceiling rose base. Most are certified to BS EN 60598-1 and BS EN 60598-2-1.

Contemporary or vintage

The two styles take the same E27 lamps. Most vintage 8271 holders take a lampshade with a 42mm internal ring, while the contemporary 8270BN has a 40mm diameter holder.

GU10, clusters and track

The Dasan pendants take a GU10 lamp and connect with a tool-free cable connector: the DAA1FRB, DAA1FRBC and DAA1FRW hang on a 1.25m cable and the DAB1FRB, DAB1FRBC and DAB1FRW on a 0.75m cable. The CALVI3PBC, CALVI5PBC and CALVI5PMB cluster pendants hang three or five vintage lamp holders of up to 40W each. The TRK8270 and TRK8271 track pendants are pre-wired for TRKxx series track, with a 1.8m drop that can be adjusted.

Frequently asked questions

What pendant lights suit a kitchen island?

A row of single pendants or one multi-light bar pendant suits a kitchen island, spreading light along the worktop. Several single pendants work well over a long island, while a bar or cluster pendant gathers the lamps into one fitting. Allow enough clearance so people can see across the island. The range here includes a vintage bar pendant, cluster pendants and single pendant sets.

How do you wire a pendant light?

Isolate the lighting circuit at the consumer unit and confirm it is dead with a voltage tester first. In the rose, connect the flex's brown core to the switched live terminal and the blue core to neutral, with any earth to earth. Hook the flex over the cord grip so the terminals bear no weight. The range here includes pre-wired pendant sets with a ceiling rose.

What is a pendant light?

A pendant light is a ceiling light that hangs down on a flex, cable or short rod, with the lamp held in a lampholder at the lower end. Pendants often hang over dining tables, kitchen islands and stairwells, and many can take a shade. The range here includes contemporary and vintage pendant sets, fixed round pendants and track pendants.
