A versatile lighting solution, the Shade Pendant (2008) comes with threaded steel rods with a brushed nickel finish. Depending on how many rods you use, the Shade Pendant can hang as close as six inches or as far as 54 inches from the ceiling. The ivory-colored linen lampshade is dramatic in scale but traditional in shape, and this juxtaposition is not just for aesthetics. Because of this lamp¹s size, you can light a broader area with the Shade Pendant than with a pendant of a standard size. Bulb (not included): compact florescent or 100W incandescent.
