Alabaster Pendant Lights

Alabaster lets light pass through the stone itself, so an alabaster pendant glows across the whole shade and its veining shows once lit. The 28 pendant lights on this page all have alabaster in the name, from a 6 cm (2.4 in) drop to a ring 100 cm (39 in) across.

Bedside drops, globes and clusters

Sixteen come in two or more sizes, and fourteen fall within the 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12 in) the size guide sets for a bedside. Over a dining table, one light wants a shade between a half and two-thirds the width of the table, 45 to 60 cm (18 to 24 in) for a 90 cm (35 in) table. The Halo ring is that wide in its 50 or 60 cm (20 or 24 in) size, and so are the two largest Aurelia clusters, though at 250 or 300 cm (98 or 118 in) tall they need a high ceiling. The Ethereal also comes as a three-light plate 60 cm (24 in) long, and the Pearl hangs two, three or four globes.

Bulbs, dimming and metalwork

Seven have a built-in LED and eleven take a bulb, from G9 and E12/E14 up to E27. Eight dim on a dimmer switch, with a dimmable bulb where one is fitted, and about half pair the stone with brass or copper. A warm bulb around 2700K brings out the honey tone, as what is alabaster? explains, and alabaster wall lights carry the same stone onto the wall.

FAQ

How many of these are real alabaster?

23 list the shade as alabaster, four of them as alabaster marble. Of the other five, three have a marble or marble-effect shade, one imitation alabaster and one a PC (plastic) shade on an alabaster marble body.

Is an alabaster pendant bright enough over a kitchen island?

It gives a soft glow, not working light: the stone spreads light through the shade rather than throwing a beam down, so add a brighter source over a worktop.

How far does an alabaster pendant drop?

Twelve list a cord or drop of 150 cm (59 in); the Nordic Luxury White adjusts to 200 cm (79 in), the Halo hangs from a 100 cm (39 in) strap and the Aurelia from a 50 cm (20 in) chain. Over a table, hang it so the lower edge sits 75 to 90 cm (30 to 36 in) clear of the top.
