Burnished Brass Pendant Light – Aluminum Shade, Dining & Kitchen
A pendant with a burnished brass fitting and an aluminum shade. Aluminum is the reason the shade can be wide without being heavy — a broad shade in steel or solid brass would put real load on a ceiling fixing, while aluminum keeps the weight down and lets the shade spread out over the surface below. The burnished brass at the fitting is the warm detail set against the cooler metal of the shade.
A metal shade is opaque, so all of the light travels downward in a defined cone rather than leaking outward through the sides. Over a kitchen island or a dining table that is generally the point: light on the work surface, not on the walls. Aluminum also moves heat away quickly, which keeps the shade from becoming the heat trap that a fully enclosed glass shade can turn into.
Hang it over an island, a run of counter, or a dining table — anywhere the light needs to land on a defined surface. Because the light is directional, spacing matters more than it would with a diffusing shade: gaps between pendants show up as gaps in the light.

Care & Assembly
Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and extended direct sunlight to help colors and finishes last.
Dimensions
Dimensions vary by item — check the details above for exact measurements.
Wide Without The Weight
A broad shade in steel or solid brass would put real load on a ceiling fixing. Aluminum keeps the weight down and lets the shade spread out over the surface below, which is the reason a pendant this wide stays practical overhead.
A Defined Cone Of Light
A metal shade is opaque, so all of the light travels downward in a defined cone rather than leaking outward through the sides. Over a kitchen island or a dining table that is generally what you want: light on the work surface, not on the walls.
Spacing Matters Here
Because the light is directional, gaps between pendants show up as gaps in the light itself. A diffusing shade forgives loose spacing; this one does not, so work out the run along a counter before anything gets drilled into the ceiling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why an aluminum shade?
Weight. A wide shade in steel or solid brass would load a ceiling fixing heavily, while aluminum lets the shade spread over a counter without that burden. It also moves heat away quickly.
Does light escape through the sides?
No. The shade is opaque metal, so the output goes downward in a defined cone rather than washing outward. That puts light onto the work surface instead of onto the surrounding walls.
How many should I hang?
That depends on the run, but plan around the light being directional. Gaps between pendants read as gaps in the light along a counter, so spacing needs more thought here than with a diffusing shade.
Does the shade get hot?
Aluminum moves heat away quickly, which keeps the shade from becoming the heat trap a fully enclosed glass shade can turn into. That is one of the practical arguments for metal overhead.
What is the brass part?
The fitting at the top. Burnished brass there is the warm detail set against the cooler metal of the shade below, so the pendant does not read as one uniform block of the same metal.
