B.lux Aspen S40 Double-Shade Pendant Light - Werner Aisslinger Design

Two stacked aluminium shades in a wide 15.5 inch size: the B.lux Aspen S40 pendant by Werner Aisslinger gives direct and diffused light, in the six color pairings B.lux lists.

The Aspen S40 is the large size of B.lux's Aspen S pendant family (S17A, S17B and S40). Two matte aluminium shades sit on one cord, and you choose the top shade and the bottom shade from the pairings B.lux offers. B.lux makes each pendant to order in Spain.

Frequently asked questions

How big is the Aspen S40, and how low can it hang?

The shade stack is 15.5 inches wide and 13 inches tall, with a 6.5-inch round canopy. The cord allows a maximum hang height of 78 inches, so it suits a dining table, a kitchen island, a stairwell or a double-height entry.

Can the top and bottom shade be different colors?

Only in the pairings B.lux lists for this size: Aqua over River, Aqua over Snow, Black over River, Concrete over Limestone, Snow over River and Snow over Snow. Any other pairing shows as unavailable.

Which bulbs does it take, and is it dimmable?

Two E12 LED bulbs of up to 6 W each, which are not included. B.lux does not list this version as dimmable, so please ask us before planning it for a dimmer.

How long does delivery take?

Each pendant is made to order in Spain. B.lux lists a lead time of about 60 days, and we ship it to you from there by parcel.

Do the photos show my exact color pairing?

The photos are B.lux studio and room shots of a range of pairings from the Aspen S family, so treat them as examples. Open the color list under the Add to cart button to see each shade with its RAL code.

How is the S40 different from the S17A and S17B?

All three are the same double-shade pendant in different sizes. The S40 is the large size, 15.5 inches wide with two bulbs. The S17A and S17B are the slim 6.75 inch versions, 13.25 and 17 inches high.
