Love better quality than expected all metal!!. Tami. Columbia, IL. Wed Jan 14 2026

A mid-century moment. This pendant light’s hand-blown frosted glass globe shade hangs at an adjustable height from a slender downrod, for a scaled-back silhouette. The slim base is crafted from metal in a high-contrast black + satin-brass finish. Plus, it's compatible with dimmer switches so you set the mood.

One of my favorite light fixtures in the house!!! I love the combination of brass/black, and how simple this fixture is, yet far from basic. This pendant is hanging at the entrance of my house. Just the perfect brightness for the location, not too dim, not too bright. I have 10' ceilings in this location and the globe is large enough not to get lost. Very nice presence and quality.. Natalia. Jacksonville, FL. Sat Mar 26 2022

Sleek and simply, the effortlessly chic oversized cone pendants add a modern touch to elevate your space. A surprisingly bright single light source is recessed within a secondary smaller aperture cone shade painted white on its interior to reflect more and beam additional lighting downward without glare. This distinctive cut off accentuates the black finish on the surfaces between two cones. Available in Black and Antique Brass, this pendant series exemplifies the enduring elegance of the cone form in design.

This 1-light pendant draws on the iconic cone shades of mid-century design for a fixture with retro elements and industrial nods. Crafted from metal in two finishes, this pendant features a single, clean-lined cone shade that hangs from an adjustable cord. A contrasting finish on the inside is designed to catch the light of the included 9.5W bulb and direct it downward. This fixture is compatible with dimmer switches.

Aged Iron

Illuminate your space in style with this dimmable pendant. The single globe design creates ambient lighting, while the frosted glass shade adds a touch of modern elegance. Sloped ceiling compatible and suitable for damp locations. Bulb not included. Designed by Ellen DeGeneres.

Theses are gorgeous fixtures, we have 2 over half of a 10’ length of island, (the other half has a skylight over it). They provide more than enough light, spaced about 18” apart and suspended about 30” above a 36” high countertop. We have 100 watt equivalent LED lamps inside. The fixtures have a cap that is on the top, essentially covering about 20% of the globe, but the overall effect is a nice glow on the walls and ceiling, exactly what we were hoping for. Take care when assembling them the first time that the metal top portion doesn’t drop into the glass globe.. Christine. Dallas, TX. Tue Sep 03 2024

Midnight Black

The Newman Collection Grant one light pendant is simple yet sophisticated this piece is expertly crafted out of iron that perfectly contrasts with the black cord that suspends from the center. Whether on its own or hung in multiples this pendant light will really shine.

Love the look of this pendant! Super simple to install. Lighter in weight than I thought it would be. Color was spot on. Had a small indentation in the side…hardly noticeable, but nonetheless, still there. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5.. Anonymous. US. Wed Dec 28 2022

Finished in your choice of Matte Black, Antique Brass, or Antique Copper, the modern design feels vintage and retro widening the range of compatibility within architectural aesthetics.

I love the minimal profile as it adds light over the dining table without blocking the view outside from my kitchen. Suggest hanging it "temporary" until it's dark out so you can get the level just right for the people in your home. Mine is on a dimmer and works well.. Roxanne. Santa Fe, NM. Sun Nov 23 2025

The Chittering Single Light Pendant by Eglo is a beautiful choice for your lighting needs. Hung from a Black textile adjustable cord with a gold accent ring and the Amber Vaporized Glass Shade offer the perfect touch of deep neutral color to accent your room.

We have two hanging above the dining room table and they look very nice. The bulb provided is a bit too white for the coloring of the lamp so looking to switch to a warmer hue. The seams are visible but we have them facing out to the window. Also, they do not hang level so will need to see how to fix that.. Anonymous. Sun Dec 22 2024

96.13" H x 20" W x 20" D, Matte Black

Black/Wood

A stylish way to brighten a space, this pendant is a must-have. With mid-century modern and Scandi-inspired design, this one-light mini pendant brightens your room without taking up valuable space. The dome-shaped canopy shade and adjustable downrods are all made from metal in a clean white finish, while a smooth wood accent finial completes the look with a touch of contrast. This fixture accommodates one 100W bulb (not included) and works on a dimmer switch and sloped ceilings, so you can essentially put it anywhere.

Its a nice lamp. It was easy to assemble. Came with plenty of cord. I bought a 100w equivalent LED Edison style bulb which looks very nice and retro. Biggest complaint was the cord catch that reduces strain on the wiring was made of plastic. It shredded when trying to unscrew it. I had to swag the lamp over so it doesnt quite matter in my situation. It is a design flaw that the manufacturer could fix by replacing that teeny-tiny part with metal.. Chris. Washington.

amazing. obsessed. so chic and beautiful i love them way more than i thought!!. Mikel. US. Fri Sep 20 2024

The Chittering Single Light Pendant by Eglo is a beautiful choice for your lighting needs. Hung from a black textile adjustable cord with a gold accent ring and the Black Transparent Vaporized Glass Shade offer the perfect touch of deep neutral color to accent your room.

These pendants are a great addition for a small island countertop (7ft). They really elevated the aesthetic of the lights in our kitchen. You can use any A19 bulb, but we ended up using Edison bulbs to dim the lighting from the pendants. If you're a tall person, make sure you hang them at an ideal height, as the glass does not block all light and will hit your eye level and will not be pleasant -- part of the reason we chose to use Edison bulbs.. Be aware that if you don't have the pendant ready electrical, you will need to install a pendent conversion kit for recessed lighting, which requires a few tools and a capable hand. Conversion kits are cheap-ish, but will require additional cost, which is something we hadn't considered. . Jillian. Westminster, CO. Fri Jun 17 2022

11.5" H x 10" W x 10" D, Aged Brass

Elixir is both decorative and minimal. With an opal globe or acrylic diffuser adorned by a thick stem, this collection is both simple and geometrically interesting.

Wide flat discs house LED engines that disappear when viewed at the pendants edge. Supported at their center by thin tubes and black cable, machined aluminum housings feature laterally cut concentric circles drawing inspiration from the grooves in a vinyl record.

We have a streamlined kitchen island that is not decorative, just functional, like the pendants. I'm thrilled with these LED lights because they're wafer-thin and cast a nice warmth of light based on what I set on the dimmer switch. I am not sure if I have to throw the whole thing out when the puck light expires but I hope not. I enjoy looking at them.. Joyce. Mill Valley, CA. Mon Nov 17 2025

The Dugan Single Light Pendant by Eglo provides an ample amount of extra extraordinary lighting in your special space. Featuring a dome shaped structured black shade accented with Brushed Brass and an adjustable black hanging cord. This Pendant has the chic versatility to enhance the style of a variety of spaces.

Ordered the black/brass combo. The design and color scheme are sleek and modern. Make sure you pay attention to the measurement details. To me, the pendant looks smaller in person. The product has been well packaged and shipping was quick. Recommend to hire an electrician to hang. If used alone, recommend over a small kitchen island or a small dining table. Otherwise, recommend to have at least a pair.. Kathy. Roslyn Heights, NY. Mon Aug 15 2022
