The Dar Lighting Sumitra Large Pendant SUM8663 is a decorative ceiling light combining a classic opal glass shade with an antique bronze finish. Inspired by traditional early 20th-century lighting, its softly scalloped glass shade brings character to kitchens, dining rooms, bedrooms and hallways. Measuring 38 cm in diameter, the pendant has enough visual presence to work as a central feature without relying on exposed bulbs or elaborate decoration. The opal glass helps diffuse the light, creating a softer illumination than a clear glass shade. An adjustable chain suspension allows the overall drop to be set between 36 cm and 133 cm during installation, making it suitable for different ceiling heights and room layouts. Its combination of traditional detailing and restrained proportions works well in both classic and contemporary interiors.
The Sumitra pendant features a generously proportioned opal glass shade with a gently stepped profile and decorative scalloped edges. Its moulded shape takes inspiration from traditional glass lighting while maintaining a clean, balanced appearance.
Antique bronze detailing provides a warm, aged-looking contrast to the white opal glass. A matching suspension chain and brown braided cable extend from the circular ceiling rose to the shade, reinforcing its classic character.
The combination of metal and glass creates a distinctive decorative fitting without excessive ornamentation. With a shade diameter of 38 cm and a height of 32 cm, the pendant makes a noticeable feature above a table or in a central ceiling position.
The Sumitra Large Pendant uses one E27 Edison Screw bulb, purchased separately. Its opal glass shade surrounds the light source and helps soften direct glare while spreading diffused illumination into the surrounding space.
Compatible E27 LED bulbs can be used, providing a choice of colour temperatures and brightness levels. A warm white bulb can help create a comfortable atmosphere in living rooms and bedrooms, while a suitable brighter bulb may be preferred for general lighting.
The recommended bulb shape is GLS, also known as a standard general-purpose bulb. Select a bulb that fits comfortably within the glass shade.
The pendant is compatible with dimmable E27 bulbs when paired with a suitable dimmer switch. The bulbs and dimmer switch need to be matched to each other for dimming to work properly.
Suspension height can be adjusted between 36 cm and 133 cm at the time of installation. The fitting includes a coordinating chain and brown braided cable, allowing the drop to be tailored to the available ceiling height and intended position.
