Bistro II - Satin Silver 5 Light Centre Fitting with Textured Clear Glass

The Bistro II has a satin silver finish across its ceiling plate, chain, central stem, curved arms and shade holders. Five clear Holophane-style glass shades are arranged evenly around the centre, each with a pronounced ribbed texture and satin silver trim. The shades face downwards and give the fitting a distinctive restaurant-inspired appearance with classic detailing. Its combination of silver-toned metal and textured clear glass works particularly well in traditional, industrial-inspired and modern classic interiors where the light itself is intended to remain a visible decorative feature.

Five separate E27 lampholders position light around the full diameter of the fitting rather than concentrating it at a single point. The downward-facing clear textured glass shades leave the lamps visible while the ribbed glass modifies the appearance of the light passing through them.

Bulbs are not included. The fitting is LED compatible, with a verified maximum of 10W LED per bulb. Its overall suspension height can be adjusted during installation from 34 cm up to 120 cm, helping it suit different ceiling heights and positioning requirements.

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.
