The Searchlight Bistro II 1683-3AB is a three light pendant designed around classic detailing, textured clear glass and an antique brass finish. Three curved arms position the glass shades evenly around the fitting, creating a balanced centrepiece for dining rooms, kitchens, living rooms and hallways. Its Holophane style glass adds visible texture while helping to diffuse the light from each lamp. With a diameter of 56 cm and an adjustable overall height from 34 cm to 120 cm, the pendant can be positioned to suit different ceiling heights and room layouts. It uses three replaceable E27 bulbs, making it easy to select an LED lamp with the brightness and colour temperature that suits your space.
The Bistro II combines an antique brass finish with three clear, Holophane style glass shades. Each shade has a structured, ribbed appearance that adds texture while keeping the bulbs visible through the glass. Curved arms extend from the central body to support the three downward-facing shades, while a chain suspension continues the fitting's classic decorative character.
The construction uses mild steel and glass. Antique brass trim around the shades ties the different elements together and gives the pendant a coordinated finish suitable for traditional, industrial-inspired and modern classic interiors.
Three separate E27 lampholders distribute light from multiple points around the 56 cm diameter fitting. The textured clear glass helps diffuse the visible lamp light while retaining the characteristic appearance of Holophane style glass.
Bulbs are not included, so the brightness and colour temperature can be selected to suit the room. The fitting is LED compatible, with a verified maximum of 10W LED per bulb. It 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 allows the overall height to be adjusted during installation from 34 cm up to 120 cm. This provides useful flexibility when positioning the light above a dining table or in rooms with different ceiling heights.
