An iron dome pendant in 30 cm or 40 cm, in the industrial idiom — a simple spun shade with a wide open mouth and no diffuser across it. This is the shape that came out of factories and workshops long before it came into homes, and the reason it has persisted is that it does one job extremely well.
An opaque iron dome directs everything downward and nothing sideways, so it produces a bright, clearly defined circle of light and leaves the rest of the room to other fixtures. The width of the dome sets the width of that circle: at 40 cm the pool is wide enough to cover a small table, while at 30 cm it stays tight and concentrated. Iron is heavy for its size, so both diameters want a solid ceiling fixing rather than a plasterboard one.
It suits a kitchen island, a workbench, a dining table or a stairwell. Because the mouth is open, the source is visible from below at close range, so it wants hanging high enough to keep the interior out of direct view.

A Shape From The Workshop
A simple spun shade with a wide open mouth and no diffuser across it. This is the form that came out of factories and workshops long before it came into homes, and it has persisted because it does one job extremely well.
One Defined Circle
An opaque iron dome directs everything downward and nothing sideways, producing a bright, clearly defined circle of light and leaving the rest of the room to other fixtures. The width of the dome sets the width of that circle.
Heavy For Its Size
Iron carries a lot of weight for its dimensions, so both diameters want a solid ceiling fixing rather than a plasterboard one. That is worth confirming before the fixture is ordered rather than on the day of installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a diffuser across the opening?
No, the mouth is open. That is part of the industrial form, and it means the light comes straight out of the shade without anything softening or spreading it on the way.
Which diameter should I pick?
At 40 cm the pool is wide enough to cover a small table. At 30 cm it stays tight and concentrated, which suits a workbench or a spot that needs light in one place.
How high should it hang?
High enough to keep the interior out of direct view. Because the mouth is open, the source is visible from below at close range, which becomes uncomfortable if the fixture hangs too low.
What fixing does it need?
A solid ceiling fixing rather than a plasterboard one, at either diameter. Iron is heavy for its size, so the mounting has to reach something structural above the ceiling line.
Where does it suit?
A kitchen island, a workbench, a dining table or a stairwell. All of them want light landing in one defined place, with the rest of the room handled by something else.
