The Searchlight Meteor 12013-5NI is a contemporary five-light LED multi-drop pendant in a black nickel finish, featuring five spherical acrylic diffusers suspended at different heights. Its clustered arrangement creates an eye-catching feature for stairwells, entrance halls, double-height spaces and modern living areas. With an overall width of 38 cm and a maximum drop of 180 cm, the Meteor is particularly suited to interiors where a longer decorative suspension can be appreciated. The integrated 28W LED lighting provides a choice of three colour temperatures, from warm white to cool white, while dimming compatibility offers additional brightness control. Individually adjustable suspensions make it possible to arrange the five pendants to suit the available space, combining decorative design with practical illumination.
The Meteor combines a black nickel finish with five rounded acrylic diffusers, creating a distinctive design with a contemporary, sculptural appearance. Its construction incorporates mild steel and acrylic, with the dark metallic finish providing a contrast to the illuminated globes.
Each spherical pendant features a layered, ring-like exterior with an illuminated section towards the underside. The five lights hang from a single circular ceiling canopy, forming a compact cluster with varying suspension lengths.
The arrangement adds visual depth without requiring a particularly wide ceiling fitting. Its combination of rounded shapes, dark finishing and vertically suspended elements works well in modern interiors, especially where the pendant can be viewed from different angles.
The Meteor features five integrated LED light sources with a combined rated power of 28W. The LEDs are built into the fitting, so separate bulbs are not required.
The integrated lighting provides three selectable colour temperatures:
- 2700K warm white: 2462 lumens, suitable for softer, warmer illumination.
- 3000K warm white: 2710 lumens, offering a balance between warmth and practical brightness.
- 4000K cool white: 2666 lumens, providing a clearer, cooler appearance.
Colour temperature is selected using a switch inside the ceiling canopy during installation. This allows the preferred light colour to be chosen to suit the room.
The fitting is also confirmed as dimmable, providing brightness adjustment when used with a compatible dimming control.
Each of the five suspended globes provides a separate point of illumination. Their staggered arrangement distributes light across the cluster, while the acrylic diffusers help soften the appearance of the integrated LEDs.
The suspension lengths can be adjusted individually using the fitting's quick-adjust mechanism. With a maximum overall height of 180 cm, the arrangement can be tailored to the ceiling height and intended position.
- Stairwells: a decorative arrangement that can make use of the available vertical space.
- Double-height entrance halls: a suspended lighting feature visible from different levels.
- Modern living rooms: a distinctive ceiling feature where sufficient hanging clearance is available.
- Dining areas: clustered illumination positioned above a suitably sized table.
- High-ceilinged hallways: a decorative alternative to conventional ceiling lighting.
- Contemporary apartments with open-plan layouts: a way to define a particular area through lighting.
- Hospitality reception areas and interior spaces: a five-light feature with adjustable suspension lengths.
- Five suspended LED globes: create a layered lighting arrangement from a single ceiling connection.
- Black nickel finish: introduces a dark metallic detail that complements contemporary interiors.
- Acrylic diffusers: help reduce direct visibility of the integrated light sources.
- Integrated 28W LED: provides illumination without the need to purchase five separate bulbs.
- Selectable 2700K, 3000K and 4000K colour temperatures: offer flexibility between warmer and cooler white light.
- Dimmable lighting: allows brightness adjustment with a suitable compatible dimmer.
- Individually adjustable suspensions: make it possible to create different hanging arrangements.
- Maximum height of 180 cm: offers a substantial decorative drop for taller interior spaces.
- 38 cm overall width: provides a relatively compact ceiling footprint for a five-light cluster.
- Class II double-insulated construction: provides an additional level of electrical insulation within the fitting.
- Distinctive multi-drop design: five spherical pendants create a decorative feature with more visual depth than a conventional single pendant.
- Flexible arrangement: the suspension lengths can be adjusted to suit different ceiling heights and preferred layouts.
- Choice of white light: three selectable colour temperatures provide useful flexibility for different rooms and lighting preferences.
- Brightness control: confirmed dimming capability makes the fitting adaptable to different lighting requirements.
- Integrated lighting: the complete LED light source is supplied as part of the fitting, avoiding the need to select individual bulbs.
- Suitable for feature spaces: the vertical design makes effective use of stairwells, entrances and rooms with generous ceiling height.

Does the Searchlight Meteor 12013-5NI need separate bulbs?
No. The Meteor has five integrated LED light sources supplied as part of the fitting. There is no need to purchase separate bulbs or select individual lamp wattages. The integrated LED system has a total rated power of 28W.
Can I change the colour temperature of the light?
Yes. The Meteor offers three selectable colour temperatures: 2700K, 3000K and 4000K. The selection is made using a switch inside the ceiling canopy during installation, rather than through a conventional wall switch. This allows the preferred white light setting to be chosen for the room.
Is the Searchlight Meteor pendant dimmable?
Yes. The manufacturer confirms that the integrated LED fitting is dimmable. A compatible dimming control is required to adjust its brightness. The fitting also has a separate colour temperature selection switch inside the ceiling canopy.
Can the five hanging lights be adjusted to different heights?
Yes. The Meteor has individually adjustable suspensions with a quick-adjust mechanism. The maximum overall hanging height is 180 cm, allowing the globes to be arranged at different levels. This is particularly useful in stairwells, entrance halls and other spaces with generous ceiling height.
Is this pendant suitable for a bathroom or outdoor installation?
The Meteor has an IP20 rating and is intended for dry indoor environments. It is not designed for outdoor exposure or locations where splash protection is required. For bathroom installations, choose a fitting with an appropriate IP rating for the intended bathroom zone.

Understanding LED colour temperature and the Kelvin scale
Colour temperature 2000K to 3000K, the light produced is often referred to as a "warm white", "soft white", occasionally called a "candle white". It ranges from orange-ish to yellow-ish white in appearance. This kind of light is attractive, enjoyable, comfortable and relaxing.
Colour temperature 3100K to 4500K, the light produced is often referred to as a "neutral white", "bright white" or "natural white". Light sources within this range will emit a more neutral white light and may even have a slightly blue tint. This kind of light is bright, vibrant and clean appearing.

Colour temperature 4600K and above, the light produced is often referred to as a "cool white", "pure white" or "day white". Light sources in this range will have a blue-ish white tint to them. The higher the number, the more blueish it will appear. This kind of light will appear crisp, invigorating and energetic.
