Graham Duo-Mount Pendant / Semi-Flush - 4 Light E14 - Polished Nickel Elstead

Graham in its large size is a Hinkley fitting, distributed by Elstead Lighting, that can hang on rods as a pendant or be mounted without them as a semi-flush ceiling light. Its welded polished nickel frame sits between two round shades of off-white polycotton with a faux-parchment look — the wider one on top and a narrower one below. The underside is finished, so looking up you do not see bare lampholders.

Size and two ways to mount it

The upper shade is 58.4 cm in diameter. For comparison, a 40 cm shade keeps its proportions over a table 80–90 cm wide, so this version suits a wider table top or works as the main light in the middle of a room. Mounted semi-flush, the light is 35.9 cm high, which matters under a lower ceiling. As a pendant, on the rods supplied (2 × 15.2 cm and 2 × 30.5 cm), the overall height reaches 121.8 cm.

The height is set during installation by choosing rods, not adjusted afterwards. Over a table, the bottom of the shade usually sits 70–80 cm above the top — work that distance out from the ceiling height before installing. The light weighs 3.8 kg, the ceiling canopy has the same polished nickel finish, and Class I means it is connected with an earth conductor.

Light sources

The fitting has four E14 lampholders, each taking a bulb of up to 40 W; bulbs are not included, so you will need four. Light passes through the two fabric shades, which diffuse it and hide the bulbs. The fitting is compatible with dimmable lamps — dimming needs a dimmer switch and bulbs marked as dimmable.

Style and range

Hinkley describes Graham as a transitional design that pairs a classic shade with a plain metal frame, in the modern classic spirit. It works well above a dining table. The range also includes a smaller three-light version and black and lacquered brass finishes.
