HEMISPHERE RUST S is a pendant light with a half-sphere shade made of lacquered steel in a rust colour. The shade is 33 cm in diameter and 16.5 cm high, and the whole fitting, including the cable and a small cylindrical canopy, reaches a maximum of 125 cm.
Dimensions and hanging
With a maximum height of 125 cm, the light is shortened so that the bottom edge of the shade usually sits 70–80 cm above the table top — the light then covers the table without shining into the eyes of those seated. The manufacturer states that the height may be changed by a qualified electrician. Compare the 33 cm diameter with the width of the table or worktop the light will hang over.
The canopy is 5.5 cm in diameter and 7.5 cm high. The light weighs 0.87 kg, and the box contains the shade, the suspension and the installation instructions.
What light it gives
The fitting has one E27 socket and takes LED lamps only, up to 25 W. No bulb is included, so you choose the colour and brightness yourself — over a dining table 2700–3000 K, a warm, slightly yellowish light, is the usual choice. The steel shade is opaque, so the light falls downwards onto the surface below.
The fitting is protection class I, so it needs the earth conductor connected, and runs on 220–230 V. The manufacturer intends it for indoor use only.
Which interiors it suits
The manufacturer classes the style as modern: a smooth, undecorated half-sphere whose character comes from the rust colour of the lacquered steel. It works over a dining table and in the kitchen, in the living room and bedroom, and also in an office, study, hotel or restaurant. The light is made in Poland.
