The Mika PE18 is a 180mm ribbed glass and iron pendant in satin grey one E27 globe to 25W, not supplied, on a2,000mm suspension.

The ribbed detail runs through glass and iron together

This is what makes the Mika range recognisable. The glass carries aribbing that continues into the iron the two materialsshare a pattern rather than simply meeting at a join. Lit, the ribsbreak the light into vertical lines, so the shade sparkles a little rather thanglowing evenly. Against a plain wall or over a pale bench that texture is most of the effect.

It is called Large and it is 180mm. Thename places it in the range Mika runs to three pendant sizes ratherthan describing the fitting. 180mm wide by 315mm high is asmall pendant by any measure. Plan from the millimetres, not the word.

Taller than it is wide, which suits a run

180mm across and 315mm deep anupright proportion. Hung in a row of two or three over a bench, upright shades readas a rhythm of vertical marks where wide ones read as a row of discs. On a100mm canopy with 2,000mm of adjustable suspension.

The globe is visible choose it

One E27 to 25W, not supplied, and behind ribbed glass itshows. A decorative filament globe suits the Mika considerablybetter than a plain frosted one. Dimming is globe dependent: a dimmable E27 with awall dimmer will dim it; a plain globe will not. Our record says No, which ismisleading.

It is ClassI earth required and hard-wired toa 100mm canopy. A licensed electrician installs it genuinely, on thispage, unlike the corded Mika lamps that carried the same line in error.

One of a family of five

Mika runs as a table lamp, a floor lamp and three pendant sizes, all sharing theribbed glass and satin grey. A kitchen with three of these over the bench and the floor lamp in thecorner reads as one decision rather than three purchases.

• Bedsides, as a hung alternative to a lamp.
• Alongside other Mika pieces, matched by the ribbing.

Questions

Why is a 180mm pendant called “Large”?

The name places it in the range Mika runs to three pendant sizes rather than describing the fitting. At 180mm wide by 315mm high it is a small pendant by any measure. Plan from the millimetres, not the word.

What is the ribbed detail?

The glass carries a ribbing that continues into the iron, so the two materials share a pattern rather than simply meeting at a join. Lit, the ribs break the light into vertical lines so the shade sparkles a little rather than glowing evenly.

How many should I hang?

Two or three over a bench. The upright proportion reads as a rhythm of vertical marks in a run, where wide shades read as a row of discs.

Will I see the globe?

Yes behind ribbed glass it shows. A decorative filament globe suits the Mika considerably better than a plain frosted one.

Can I dim it?

It depends on the globe. A dimmable E27 with a wall dimmer will dim; a plain globe will not. Our record says No, which is misleading.

Do I need an electrician?

Yes Class I, earth required, hard-wired. On this page that requirement is genuine, unlike the corded Mika lamps that carried the same line in error.

Can I match it with other Mika pieces?

Yes the range runs as a table lamp, a floor lamp and three pendant sizes, all sharing the ribbed glass and satin grey.
