The Searchlight Bistro II 1685-5AB is a five-light pendant designed around a classic antique brass finish and clear textured glass shades. Its balanced circular arrangement makes it well suited to dining rooms, kitchens and living spaces where one central fitting needs to provide light from several points. Each shade uses a replaceable E27 bulb, giving you flexibility when choosing LED lamps and light colour. The suspension is height adjustable from 34 cm up to 120 cm, so its position can be adapted to suit the ceiling height and furniture below. With a 58 cm diameter, the Bistro II has a noticeable decorative presence while retaining the familiar proportions and detailing associated with traditional and vintage-inspired interiors.
The Bistro II combines an antique brass finish with five clear Holophane-style glass shades. The glass has a textured, ribbed appearance that adds visual detail while keeping the bulbs visible through the shades. Antique brass trim around each shade coordinates with the central stem, curved arms and ceiling fitting, creating a consistent classic look.
Its five arms are arranged around a central body to produce a balanced chandelier-style silhouette. The combination of warm-toned metal and clear patterned glass works particularly well with traditional, vintage-inspired and modern classic interiors.
Five separate E27 lampholders distribute light from multiple points around the 58 cm diameter fitting. The clear textured glass allows the lamps to remain visible while the patterned surface adds texture to the appearance of the illuminated shades.
Bulbs are not included, so suitable E27 LED bulbs need to be purchased separately. A product-specific LED limit of 10W per bulb is specified. The fitting is also 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 suspension is adjustable during installation, with a minimum height of 34 cm and a maximum height of 120 cm. This provides useful flexibility when positioning the pendant above a dining table or within rooms of different ceiling heights.
