Why choose smoked glass?
Smoked glass is lightly tinted, grey-toned glass that makes the light softer and more subdued. It gives a glass pendant light a refined, modern look. Because the glass is semi-transparent, the light source stays subtly on show, which looks beautiful with a filament bulb. The result is atmospheric light that never feels too bright.
Which style and space does smoked glass suit?
Smoked glass is a perfect fit for a sleek, modern or industrial interior. Paired with black metal, it creates a rugged look, while smoked glass with gold looks chic. A multi-light smoked pendant makes an elegant statement piece above the dining table, and a single smoked globe works beautifully in the living room or hallway. If you'd like a warmer glow, explore our pendant lights in amber glass too.
Which light source suits smoked glass?
Most smoked glass pendant lights are fitted with an E27 lampholder, while smaller models often have an E14 or G9 lampholder. A filament bulb with warm white light (around 2700K) looks especially atmospheric through the tinted glass. The exact bulb fitting you need is always listed in the product details. For the dining table, hang your pendant light 80 to 100 cm above the tabletop.
