Bell Rattan Pendant Lights

Not brighter overall, but differently distributed. The flared base of a bell shade sits further from the bulb and is often more open, so a larger share of the light exits sideways near the bottom rather than straight down, spreading further across a table or counter than a dome of the same height.

For a standard island, a 12 to 20 inch bell pendant works well, hung in a row of two or three spaced 24 to 30 inches apart. The flared base means each fixture covers slightly more counter length than a straight-sided shade of the same diameter.

Hang a bell rattan pendant light 30 to 36 inches above a table or counter surface, measuring from the widest point of the flare rather than the crown. Leave at least 6 inches between the shade's edge and the table's perimeter.

Yes. Because the crown is narrower than the base, bell shades can hang closer together at the top without the wider bases visually colliding, which makes clustering easier than with straight-sided or dome shapes of the same diameter.

Use a 9W to 12W LED bulb at a warm 2700K to 3000K color temperature for most sizes, moving up to 15W for shades above 24 inches. Every bell rattan pendant light in this collection takes a standard E26 or E27 socket. See our guide on selecting bulb wattage.

No. This collection covers several variations on the crown-to-base flare, from a pronounced classic bell to subtler dome-and-bell or basket-and-bell hybrids, so the degree of flare varies noticeably from one design to the next.

Dust every two weeks with a soft microfibre cloth or a vacuum on low suction with a brush attachment, working along the grain of the weave, paying particular attention to the wider base where dust settles more visibly. Never soak the material or use chemical solvents. See our natural product care guide.

Yes. Orders of 2 receive 5% off with code IDLIGHT05, and orders of 3 receive 10% off with code IDLIGHT10, useful for a row of bell pendants over a kitchen island or a long dining table. For orders of 5 or more, contact us for wholesale pricing.

Each shade ships in a reinforced, 5-ply corrugated box with custom-moulded inserts shaped to protect the wider base, which is more exposed to impact than a straight-sided shade during transit. If your fixture arrives damaged, notify us within 72 hours of delivery with photos, which falls under our 30-day defective and transit-damage window rather than the 14-day change-of-mind window.
