The glass is metallized in copper or chrome, so switched off each sphere becomes a convex mirror that reflects the room; switched on, a polished aluminum reflector inside sends a clean, dimmable beam straight down from the open base. Hung singly, in pairs or as a cluster at different heights, Globo di Luce turns a ceiling into a composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct:\u003c\/strong\u003e Globo di Luce suspension light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e FontanaArte, Milan, Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem number (MPN):\u003c\/strong\u003e F364485150RMNU (Medium, Copper), F364485150CRNU (Medium, Chrome), F364490150RMNU (Large, Copper), F364490150CRNU (Large, Chrome)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardwired globe pendant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e dining tables, kitchen islands, bedside lighting, living rooms, salons, boutiques, restaurants and hotel lobbies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlobe size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium 11.8 in (30 cm) diameter x 11.4 in (29 cm) high; Large 17.7 in (45 cm) diameter x 16.9 in (43 cm) high, per the maker drawing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuspension:\u003c\/strong\u003e up to 98.4 in (250 cm); ceiling canopy 3.9 to 4.7 in (10 to 12 cm) diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight source:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium 1 x G9, 60W max; Large 1 x E26, 150W max (bulbs not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight\/dimming:\u003c\/strong\u003e direct light, dimmable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation:\u003c\/strong\u003e hardwired with a metallized ceiling canopy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e metallized blown glass diffuser; polished aluminum internal reflector; steel suspension cable; transparent power cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinishes and sizes available:\u003c\/strong\u003e Copper or Chrome; Medium or Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e ETL (Intertek) pending\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roberto Menghi (1968)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Modern, Retro, Contemporary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/1264\/8406\/files\/etl-intertek-pending-certification-mark.png\" alt=\"ETL Intertek pending certification mark: ETL listing for the US and Canadian markets is in progress\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\"\u003e ETL (Intertek) certification for the U.S. market is in progress for this pendant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLight quality and how it performs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlobo di Luce is a direct-light pendant. The metallized glass is opaque to the bulb, so the light leaves through the open bottom of the sphere and lands in a defined circle on the table, counter or nightstand below; the polished aluminum reflector inside concentrates it. Above the light line, the outer globe stays a reflective object rather than a glowing one, mirroring the room, the people around the table and the other lamps nearby.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Medium takes a compact G9 lamp up to 60W; the Large takes a standard E26 bulb up to 150W. FontanaArte lists both as dimmable; pair a dimmable bulb with a compatible dimmer for dinner-level light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSize and placement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOver a dining table.\u003c\/strong\u003e As general guidance, hang the bottom of the globe about 28 to 34 in (71 to 86 cm) above the tabletop. A Large (17.7 in) suits a round table of about 36 to 48 in on its own; a trio of Medium and Large globes at staggered heights, as in the maker photography, suits a round table of 48 to 60 in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOver a kitchen island.\u003c\/strong\u003e Use two or three Medium globes (11.8 in), spaced about 24 to 30 in apart on centre, with the bottom about 30 to 36 in above the counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeside a bed.\u003c\/strong\u003e A Medium on each side of the bed, with the bottom about 18 to 24 in above the nightstand, gives focused reading light and a mirrored accent in place of table lamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn an entry or stairwell.\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep at least 7 ft (213 cm) between the floor or nearest step and the bottom of the globe.

Copper pairs with walnut, leather, terracotta and exposed brick; chrome with marble, lacquer, glass and black steel.
