TIBIA C Pendant Light, Warm Beige, SIGMA

TIBIA C is a pendant light in warm beige (RAL 1019) with a flat, wide, plate-shaped shade, 42 cm in diameter and 5.5 cm high. Above the shade sit an oval element and a flat ring in the same colour — the detail that sets the TIBIA series apart. The round ceiling canopy matches the shade, and the cable is white.

Size and hanging height

A 42 cm shade keeps its proportions above a table 80–90 cm wide and lights a larger part of the top than the smaller versions in the series. The overall height is up to 130 cm and adjustable, so the drop can be shortened until the lower edge of the shade sits 70–80 cm above the table top. The manufacturer intends TIBIA for over a dining table, over a kitchen island and for the living room.

The lamp weighs 1.22 kg. The canopy is fixed to the ceiling with a metal bracket screwed in at two points — the mounting diagram is in the gallery.

Which bulb and how it lights

The fitting takes one E27 LED bulb. The bulb is not included, so you choose the colour and brightness yourself — for a dining area 2700–3000 K is the usual choice, a warm, slightly yellowish light. With the flat shade the bulb hangs below its edge and stays visible, so it is worth choosing it for its looks as well; the manufacturer's photos show a clear globe bulb. The opaque steel shade covers it from above.

Materials and colour

The shade is made of painted steel, and the body combines painted steel with plastic. One colour runs across the shade, the decorative element and the canopy, and the smooth surfaces with no further ornament place the lamp in a modern, minimalist style.

The TIBIA series comes in three shade shapes — A, B and C — each in four colours: burgundy, brick red, grey beige and warm beige. Different shapes in one colour can therefore hang side by side over the same table.
