Endon Marietta 104112 Bright Nickel 5 Light Pendant E14 50 cm

Marietta 104112 is an Endon pendant with five E14 lampholders and a two-tier shade of clear glass rods. The body, ceiling rose and chain are metal in a polished nickel finish. Drop is shortened on the chain; a 1.5 m clear cable runs from the rose.

How large it is and where to hang it

The shade is 50 cm in diameter. Compare that figure with the width of the table: over a top of about 100 cm the shade stays within the table surface and does not project clearly beyond the edge. Drop adjusts from 62 to 200 cm. The lower rim of the shade is usually set 70–80 cm above the tabletop so the light covers the table and does not shine into the eyes of people sitting there.

The fitting weighs 4.9 kg. Endon expects fixing into a solid ceiling, preferably a joist or a joist bridge, and supplies screws and wall plugs rated for masonry. On a plasterboard ceiling the fixing must reach the load-bearing structure. The instructions limit use to a domestic ceiling and exclude bathrooms.

How much light Marietta 104112 gives

Five arms inside the shade each take a replaceable E14 LED lamp of up to 7 W. Lamps are not included, so colour and brightness are your choice. Endon lists E14 LED filament lamps in golf and candle shapes as associated products — behind the clear rods the lamp stays partly visible.

The fitting is dimmable, but only with a dimmer and lamps marked as dimmable. The glass rods scatter light sideways and downwards, so the area under the pendant is a wider, diffused wash rather than a narrow spot.

Which room it is intended for

The manufacturer intends it above a dining table and in a living room. Polished nickel and two rows of glass rods give the shade a clear outline — the pendant occupies the centre of the room rather than sitting against a wall.

The Marietta series also includes other fittings in the same finish. The construction is Class I and must be earthed. Supply is 220–240 V, 50 Hz. Endon gives a two-year warranty. The instructions specify a dry cloth for cleaning, with no liquid cleaners and no abrasive rubbing.
