Bistro II - Satin Silver 3 Light Centre Fitting with Textured Clear Glass

The Bistro II combines mild steel with clear Holophane-style glass and a satin silver finish. Three curved arms extend from the central body, each supporting a textured glass shade with matching silver detailing. The ribbed glass introduces a traditional decorative element while the satin silver finish keeps the overall appearance light and versatile. At 56 cm in diameter, the fitting has enough presence to work as a main ceiling feature without relying on a large solid shade or enclosed body.

Three E27 lampholders position the bulbs at separate points around the fitting, helping distribute light across the surrounding area. The textured clear glass shades act as diffusers while still leaving the light sources visually prominent.

Bulbs are not included. The fitting is LED compatible, and the existing product specification confirms a maximum of 10W LED per bulb. Searchlight also specifies a 60W lamp rating per lampholder for the fitting.

The Bistro II 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. The chain suspension can be shortened during installation, giving an adjustable overall height from 34 cm to 120 cm.
