EVELYN GLASS 1XE27 PENDANT

The EVELYN glass pendant is a single-lamp crystal glass pendant — Ø190 mm glass, 1,200 mm drop, E27, 240 V, IP20, in amber, clear or grey.

⭐ Its record says 25 W and its sheet says the maximum is 60 W

• ⭐ The datasheet gives Max 60 W. The record publishes power_watt = 25W.
• ⭐⭐ THIS IS THE SAME MISMATCH AS THE EVA PENDANT BUT IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, AND THE DIFFERENCE MATTERS. ⭐ On the EVA the record's 25 W exceeds its sheet's 20 W LED maximum, so following the record would over-lamp the fitting. ⭐ Here 25 W sits well under 60 W, so following the record simply under-uses the fitting.
• ⭐ ACROSS EVERY LAMP-HOLDER PRODUCT WHOSE SHEET STATES AN LED MAXIMUM, ONLY ONE HAS A RECORD THAT EXCEEDS IT. ⭐ This is not that one. ⭐ Worth saying plainly, because two products with the same-looking field mismatch are not the same problem.
• ⭐ THE UNDERLYING POINT IS THAT A LAMP-HOLDER FITTING HAS NO WATTAGE AT ALL. ⭐ The load is whatever lamp you put in it; the fitting has a maximum. ⭐ Read the sheet's maximum, not the record's figure.
• ⭐ YOU HAVE UP TO 60 W HERE — ⭐ which in LED terms is far more than any pendant of this size needs.

⭐ Clear, amber or grey — and clear changes the rules

• ⭐ Three crystal glasses on a black suspension with an antique brass glass-holder.
• ⭐⭐ NONE OF THE THREE DIFFUSES MUCH, WHICH MAKES THE LAMP PART OF THE FITTING. ⭐ Through clear crystal the lamp is fully visible; through amber and grey it is tinted but still legible.
• ⭐ SO USE A DECORATIVE FILAMENT-STYLE LAMP, NOT A BARE LED ARRAY. ⭐ A modern LED lamp with a visible driver board and a flat emitter looks like hardware behind crystal glass; a filament-style lamp reads as part of the design. ⚠ This is the single decision that most affects how the finished pendant looks, and it is the one most often left to whatever was in the drawer.
• ⭐ AND KEEP THE OUTPUT LOW. ⭐ A visible lamp behind clear glass is a glare source, so 4–6 W (roughly 400–600 lm) is usually right — ⚠ far below the 60 W ceiling. ⭐ These pendants are ornament first and light second.
• ⭐ AMBER WARMS THE LIGHT FURTHER, so pair it with a warm lamp rather than fighting it. ⭐ Grey mutes and desaturates, which suits a cooler scheme.

⭐ Ø190 mm — small, and best in multiples

• ⭐ At Ø190 mm this is a small pendant. ⭐⭐ A SINGLE ONE OVER A LARGE ISLAND LOOKS UNDERSCALED, and that is the commonest way small pendants disappoint.
• ⭐ THEY WORK IN RUNS. ⭐ Three over a 2.4 m island, or two over a 1.8 m breakfast bench, with roughly 600–750 mm between centres. ⭐ A row of small pendants reads as deliberate where one reads as an afterthought.
• ⭐ THEY ALSO SUIT PLACES A BIG PENDANT CANNOT GO — ⭐ beside a bed, in a stairwell, in a narrow hallway.
• ⭐ OVER A BENCH, AIM FOR THE GLASS BOTTOM AT 750–900 mm ABOVE THE SURFACE. ⚠ From a 2.7 m ceiling the full 1,200 mm drop puts it near 1.4 m, so most installations shorten the suspension — ask us.

⚠ IP20 — indoor only

⭐ IP20 means no protection against water at all. ⛔ Not over a bath or shower, not in a covered outdoor entry, not in an unenclosed verandah. ⭐ In a bathroom it can only go in a zone where no water reaches it, which your electrician will confirm against the current wiring rules. ⭐ The three-year warranty is longer than most exterior fittings in this catalogue carry, which is what an indoor-only rating buys.

✅ What is published

Where it works

• ⭐⭐ In runs over an island or bench — ⭐ 600–750 mm between centres.
• ⭐ Bedsides, stairwells, narrow hallways — ⭐ where a big pendant cannot go.
• ⭐ Cafés and bars — ⭐ ornament first, light second.
• ⛔ Not over a bath or shower — ⚠ IP20.
• ⚠ Not singly over a large island — ⭐ it will look underscaled.

Specifying it

Single-lamp crystal glass pendant. Ø190 mm glass, 1,200 mm suspension, 260 mm overall width. E27, lamp not included, Max 60 W. 220–240 V. IP20, indoor only. Amber, clear or grey crystal, black suspension, antique brass glass-holder. 3-year warranty. ⭐ ITS RECORD SAYS 25 W AND ITS SHEET SAYS Max 60 W — the same field mismatch as the EVA pendant but in the opposite direction, and the difference matters. On the EVA the record's 25 W exceeds its sheet's 20 W LED maximum, so following the record would over-lamp the fitting; here 25 W sits well under 60 W, so following it merely under-uses the fitting. Only one product in this catalogue has a record that exceeds its stated LED maximum, and this is not it. ⭐ THE LAMP CHOICE IS WHAT MOST AFFECTS HOW THIS PENDANT LOOKS: none of the three crystals diffuses much, so use a decorative filament-style lamp at 4 to 6 W rather than a bare LED array — far below the 60 W ceiling, because a visible lamp behind clear glass is a glare source.
