Timberlume Ceiling Lamp | Natural Timber Cone Design In Warm White or Cool White LED Light

A cone is the most efficient pendant shape there is, because it pushes light straight down onto whatever is beneath it instead of spilling it sideways into the room. This Marlow Vane lamp builds that cone from natural timber, so the fitting is warm and grainy up close rather than the cold spun metal most cone pendants are made from.

The light temperature is the only real decision. Warm white is the one for a dining table, a bedroom or anywhere people sit and talk, because it flatters wood, food and skin. Cool white is sharper and better over a kitchen worktop, a breakfast bar or a desk, where you actually want to see what you are doing rather than sit in a soft glow.

Buy it now and hang it at the right height, which is roughly seventy centimetres above a dining table so the light lands on the table and not in anybody's eyes. This is a hardwired fixture and should be installed by a qualified electrician to local electrical code, with the circuit isolated at the breaker first. Dust the timber with a dry cloth only, and never use a household spray or a damp cloth on the natural grain of the shade.
