The Bobo is a ten-light pendant hung with ribbed barrel glass shades on a450mm canopy. The ribbing is what the fitting is built around: it catches and repeats thelight source, so the shades read as texture rather than plain cylinders.

Ribbed glass wants the right globe

The ribs do their work when there is a defined filament or point source behind them atwinkle or decorative LED G9 accentuates the ribbing, while a flat opaque globe washes it out. Theshades are 105mm and 100mm high, so the globe sits close to theglass and the effect is visible from across a room.

Ten lights at 3W, and they are supplied

Unlike most pendants in this range, the G9 LED light sources are included ten of them at 3W each, fixed at 3000K warm white. That also means thecolour temperature is decided for you, and the fitting is not dimmable. If you want todim a dining pendant, this is not the one.

Two finishes, two different moods

Antique gold with opal matt glass is the softer, warmer option and diffuses the globes. Black withsmoked glass shows the light sources far more directly and is the more dramatic of the two.

Where it works

• Dining tables and islands, where the 450mm canopy suits a wide surface.
• Entry voids and stairwells, seen from below where the ribbing reads best.
• Living rooms wanting a decorative centre with no globes to source.
• Rooms on a plain switch, since the fitting is not dimmable.
