Mantra ELSA pendant lamp 8247+8270

Mantra ELSA 8247+8270 is a single-light pendant combining a chrome-finish glass shade with a matching metal ceiling canopy. The shade is wider at the top, tapers towards its open lower edge and has a reflective surface that remains part of its appearance when the light is switched off.

Two references, one light point

Reference 8247 identifies the chrome pendant component with one E27 socket. Reference 8270 identifies the chrome ceiling canopy intended for a single suspension. The combined reference therefore describes a one-light set, not a fitting with two bulbs. Both components belong to the modular ELSA family designed by José Ignacio Ballester.

The shade is glass, whereas the canopy is metal. Chrome describes the finish rather than the material of the entire shade. With no branching arms or additional ornament, the restrained shape is suited to modern and minimalist interiors.

Allow for both the shade and the cable

The shade measures 22.5 cm in diameter. The manufacturer's drawing specifies a 35 cm pendant component and a 200 cm cable; canopy 8270 measures 10 cm across. Cable length and shade height are separate measurements, so consider both along with your ceiling height when planning where the pendant will sit.

A single suspension can be positioned above a dining table, over a kitchen island or beside a seating area. For a longer surface, several separate pendants may be planned rather than treating this set as a multi-light fitting. Choose the position of the lower edge with the use of the space underneath in mind, so the shade does not obstruct everyday movement or the view across the table.

Choose the bulb separately

No bulb is supplied. The manufacturer specifies an E27 LED bulb rated at no more than 20 W. This is the permitted bulb limit, not a fixed power consumption for the empty fitting. Brightness and light colour depend on the selected bulb, so compare its lumen output and colour temperature before purchasing. ELSA is an indoor luminaire rather than a garden light.
