The globe of this ball pendant light is mouth-blown. In smoked glass, with a gray tint, it holds back part of the light and gives ambient lighting. In opal glass, it forms a round, white volume that remains legible once switched off.

Two sizes are available. The globe of the medium model measures 20 cm in diameter and 19.8 cm high. The globe of the large model measures 29 cm in diameter and 28.8 cm high.

If needed, the globe can be replaced without changing the light fixture. The Buster + Punch replacement globe is sold separately, in smoked glass as well as in opal glass.

Solid metal pendant light: cast fork and 3 finishes

The metal part of this solid metal pendant light brings together machined parts and cast parts, all finished by hand. It carries a cast fork, the detail that gave the Forked model its name. The lamp holder support is also in solid metal.

The metal is given a linear knurling, diamond-cut. These fine lines give the part texture. They can be seen up close, whether the pendant light is on or off.

You have a choice of 3 finishes: steel, brass and gray. Steel has a silvery sheen, brass a golden tone and gray a dark tone. The brand states that these finishes change over time.

Which E27 bulb for the Forked pendant light?

The pendant light takes 1 LED E27 bulb of 7 W maximum, included. This bulb is designed for the Forked range and gives off a warm white light of 2700 K.

This bulb is dimmable. You can therefore control the pendant light with a dimmer suitable for LEDs, which is not included. The brightness can then be adjusted to suit the time of day.

When the day comes to change the bulb, you can replace it yourself. The brand offers the smoked Buster Bulb Forked for a smoked globe and the opal Punch Bulb Forked for an opal globe, sold separately.
