The bulb points upward into the uppermost reflector, and the light is thrown down through the stack, bouncing between the polished surfaces before it leaves the sphere. What reaches the room has been reflected several times, which is why a fixture with a completely transparent shade produces no glare at all. You can look directly at it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this fixture is different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransparent, but glare-free.\u003c\/strong\u003e The internal reflector stack redirects all the light before it exits, so the bulb is never visible as a hot point — the classic Danish solution to the glare problem.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVisible engineering.\u003c\/strong\u003e The chains, the discs, the polished reflectors: the mechanism is the ornament.

It suits a dining table, a stairwell where you see it from above and below, a wide entry, or a corner of a living room where it reads as an object. Over a dining table, hang the bottom of the sphere 30 to 34 inches above the tabletop; the transparency means it will not block sightlines across the table the way a solid shade of the same size would.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow big is the VP Globe pendant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e15.8 inches in diameter and 15.8 inches high (40 x 40 cm) — a true sphere — not counting the suspension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much does it cost?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e$1,198 USD, the same in all four finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA clear acrylic sphere with metal and aluminum reflector discs suspended inside on fine metal chains, plus a metal suspension rod and canopy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat bulb does it take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn E14 small screw-base bulb, not included. Note that E14 is smaller than the E26 or E27 base used in most North American fixtures — check the base before you buy. LED and Edison-style bulbs both work; choose 2700K warm white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the bulb visible through the clear sphere?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bulb sits inside the reflector stack rather than in open view, and the discs redirect its light before it leaves the sphere. The result is a transparent fixture that does not glare, which is the whole point of the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat finishes are available?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour: White, Gold, Chrome, and White \u0026amp; Apricot. The sphere is clear acrylic on all four; the finish refers to the reflector discs and hardware inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it dimmable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fixture runs on a common wall switch and has no built-in dimming, so it depends on the bulb. A dimmable E14 LED on a compatible wall dimmer will dim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long is the suspension?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e150 cm \/ 59 inches, which suits standard 8 to 10 foot ceilings and can be shortened at installation. Longer suspension is available on request for vaulted or double-height ceilings — contact us before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I clean an acrylic sphere?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe with a soft, damp microfibre cloth and dry immediately. Never use alcohol, ammonia-based glass cleaner, or paper towel on acrylic — solvents cause crazing and paper scratches the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be used in a bathroom or outdoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It is rated for indoor use only and is not damp- or wet-rated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it work outside the United States?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. It accepts AC 110-240 V and carries certification compatible with North America, Europe, Saudi Arabia, and Australia. E14 bulbs are available for both 120 V and 230 V supply.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Malane Lighting","offers":[{"title":"White \/ Ø15.8\" x H15.8\" (40 x 40 cm)","offer_id":52354788000034,"sku":"ML-VPG-40-WHT","price":1198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Ø15.8\" x H15.8\" (40 x 40 cm)","offer_id":52354788032802,"sku":"ML-VPG-40-GLD","price":1198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chrome \/ Ø15.8\" x H15.8\" (40 x 40 cm)","offer_id":52354788065570,"sku":"ML-VPG-40-CHR","price":1198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \u0026 Apricot \/ Ø15.8\" x H15.8\" (40 x 40 cm)","offer_id":52354788098338,"sku":"ML-VPG-40-WAP","price":1198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/6511\/0562\/files\/9d71707082481293f6c7a0e3a8874cf5.png?v=1787351433","url":"https:\/\/malanelighting.com\/products\/vp-globe-pendant-light","provider":"Malane Lighting","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
