Jude is a pendant light by Alora Mood, distributed in Europe by Elstead Lighting. A matte black steel stem with a cylindrical joint carries a clear glass shade shaped as a half dome, and the whole fitting hangs on rigid rods below a round, domed ceiling plate.
Size and hanging height
The shade is 30.5 cm in diameter and the fitting itself, without rods, is 32.4 cm tall. A diameter of around 30 cm suits a smaller table or a bedside table, or works as one of several pendants hung in a row over a longer worktop.
The overall height is set during installation by combining the supplied rods: three of 305 mm, one of 152 mm and one of 102 mm. That gives a drop of 55.9 to 158.3 cm, so the light can hang low over a table — with the lower edge of the shade 70–80 cm above the top — or higher in a hallway. The ceiling plate measures 12.7 cm across and 2.5 cm in height.
Light source
The fitting has one E27 lampholder for a bulb of up to 60 W. No bulb is included. The shade is clear glass and does not diffuse the light, so the bulb stays visible — a decorative bulb of moderate brightness is the sensible choice, hung so that it does not sit at eye level. The light is compatible with dimmable bulbs; dimming needs a dimmer switch and a bulb marked as dimmable.
Where it fits and how it is made
The pendant is intended for over a dining table, the living room, the bedroom and the hallway, indoors only. The form is modern: a geometric stem, smooth black and clear glass with no ornament. It weighs 1.98 kg and is Class I, so it must be connected to a protective earth conductor in the ceiling box.
