Beauty is in the details when it comes to the Fireside Gate pendant. From the ribbed, smoked glass shade to the natural wood that highlights the material's grain, to the stunning silhouette, every aspect of this light exudes elegance and style. Hang it by itself or pair it with several more to create a stunning effect and add illumination to your kitchen, dining area, bedroom, or bathroom. A 6ft. cord covered in black fabric allows you to adjust the light's height to suit the needs of any room. The black cord gently spirals down from the round, black canopy ceiling mount, while the light shade is also suspended by a discreet clear cord to ensure it hangs evenly. The shade features a natural wood base leading to smoked, ribbed glass that throws soft light from a 60W bulb. Professional installation by an electrician is recommended.

Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
Is this pendant light suitable for a small apartment or compact room?
Yes. With a diameter of 9.5 inches, this light is specifically scaled to provide high-impact style without overwhelming smaller floor plans. Its vertical profile and discreet clear cord suspension make it a perfect choice for urban apartment living, where it can serve as a stylish focal point in a reading nook, a compact entryway, or even a bathroom without sacrificing precious space.
How should I clean and maintain the ribbed glass and wood components?
Based on our expertise in furniture care, we suggest dusting the fixture regularly with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to prevent buildup in the glass ribs. To preserve the finish of the natural wood base and the clarity of the smoked glass, avoid harsh chemical cleaners. If a deeper clean is needed, a slightly dampened cloth with mild soap can be used on the glass; however, ensure the fixture is off and the glass is completely dry before restoring power.
Can I install this pendant light myself?
While the fixture is designed for standard ceiling mounts, professional installation by a licensed electrician is highly recommended. This ensures that the black canopy ceiling mount is securely anchored and the wiring is correctly integrated into your home's electrical system, providing both safety and a polished, professional finish.
How many of these pendants should be used over a kitchen island?
For a standard 6-to-7-foot kitchen island, we recommend grouping three of these fixtures to follow the "rule of odds," which is a common design principle for creating visual balance. Given the 9.5-inch width, spacing them approximately 24 to 30 inches apart (measured from the center of each light) provides even illumination across the counter while maintaining a modern, uncluttered look.
What type of bulb is best for a smoked glass lighting fixture?
This fixture is designed for a single 60W bulb. To enhance the sophisticated aesthetic of the smoked, ribbed glass and the natural wood base, we recommend using a clear Edison-style LED bulb. This type of bulb provides a warm, vintage glow that complements the "Fireside" theme while ensuring the ribbed texture of the glass creates a soft, diffused light pattern throughout your space.
How do I determine the correct hanging height for this pendant light?
This light includes a 6ft fabric-covered cord, providing significant flexibility for various ceiling heights. For standard 8-foot ceilings, we recommend hanging the fixture so the bottom of the shade sits approximately 30 to 36 inches above a surface like a kitchen island or dining table. Because the cord is adjustable, it is also an excellent choice for homes with vaulted or higher ceilings, allowing you to customize the drop to perfectly fit your room's scale.
