The Shiron 4Lt is a 450mm fabric drum pendant four E14 globes inside asoft ivory shade, on a brass or dark nickel frame.

25W per globe, 100W in total. An earlier version ofthis page said 100W per lamp, and our record still carries that figure. It is four timesthe real limit, on E14 holders that are not rated anywhere near it.

The small Shiron, and the gap is large

The six-light Shiron is 700mm across; this one is450mm. That is not a trim it is the difference between a fitting thatcommands a large dining room and one that sits comfortably over a four-seat table, a bed or a hallwaywithout dominating.

A drum, so the light is even

Four globes inside fabric behave nothing like four on an open frame. The shadediffuses through its sides and throws a clean disc down broad, even andglare-free rather than four bright points. That is why a drum is the safe choice over a table wherepeople sit facing each other.

Shallow for its width

450 450mm and only 235mm high. It reads as a disc rather than abox, and it does not eat headroom in a room with an ordinary ceiling.

Brass or dark nickel against ivory

Brass warms the shade and reads classic; dark nickel recedes andlets the fabric do the talking. The frame is visible only at the top and the fixings, so the choice issubtler than it sounds.

Four E14 globes, not supplied

E14 small Edison screw, not E27 check before you buy. They sit insidefabric and are never seen, so plain warm globes are all you need. Buy all four from onebatch. Dimming is whatever the globes will do.

Where it works

• Four-seat dining tables.
• Over a bed, as a soft main light.
• Hallways and landings.
• Rooms where the 6-light would be too much.

Questions

Can I fit 100W globes?

No. 100W is the total across four holders 25W each. An earlier version of this page said 100W per lamp, which is four times the real limit on E14.

How does it compare to the 6-light Shiron?

That one is 700mm across; this is 450mm. It is the difference between commanding a large dining room and sitting comfortably over a four-seat table without dominating.

Why a fabric drum?

It diffuses through its sides and throws a clean disc down broad, even, glare-free light instead of four bright points. That is why a drum works over a table where people face each other.

Which globes should I fit?

Plain warm E14s, all four from one batch. They sit inside fabric and are never seen, so a decorative filament would be wasted.

Can I dim it?

That depends on the globes. Our record says “no”, but the datasheet and the fitting’s construction say globe dependent, and we publish that.

Will it eat headroom?

No 235mm high on a 450mm shade. It reads as a disc rather than a box.

Brass or dark nickel?

Brass warms the ivory and reads classic; dark nickel recedes. The frame shows only at the top and fixings, so the difference is subtle.
