What's in the Box
Product Care Guide
Plaster
Dust with a soft, dry cloth only. Plaster is porous, so avoid all liquid cleaners — they'll stain or mark the surface. Raw plaster fittings can be painted: use a matte emulsion in two thin coats, allowing each to dry fully before powering on. Don't install in bathrooms or other damp areas unless the IP rating allows it.
Brass & metal
Brass develops a natural patina over time, which most people prefer. To keep the current finish, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. For a brighter look, use a brass-specific polish sparingly. Never use lemon, vinegar, or abrasive cleaners — these damage lacquered brass irreversibly. Polished chrome and nickel finishes can be wiped with a damp microfibre cloth.
Glass
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly to avoid water marks. For stubborn marks, a mild glass cleaner is fine. Always ensure the fitting is switched off and fully cool before cleaning.
Fabric shades
Dust with a soft brush or vacuum on the lowest setting using an upholstery attachment. Avoid wet cleaning — fabric shades can stain, warp, or shrink. Spot-clean small marks only with a barely-damp microfibre cloth.
Ceramic
Glazed ceramic can be wiped with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Unglazed or matte ceramic should be kept dry and dusted only. Always ensure the fitting is switched off and cool first.
Before you clean
Switch off at the wall and let the fitting cool fully. Never spray cleaner directly onto a fitting — apply to a cloth first. If your fitting has visible wiring, electrical components, or LED drivers exposed, keep moisture well away from these areas.

Questions
Does the Akari stone-effect pendant light require an electrician to install?
Yes, this pendant is hardwired and must be installed by a qualified electrician in compliance with UK Building Regulations Part P. The fitting connects directly to your mains supply via a ceiling rose or junction box, so it's not a plug-in fixture. Installation is rated as easy for a professional, and the 2-metre cable provides flexibility for ceiling height adjustment.
Can I dim this sand beige pendant light?
Yes, the Akari is dimmable when paired with a dimmable G9 bulb and a trailing edge dimmer switch. The fitting itself supports dimming, but you must use a compatible dimmable bulb (not included specifications don't confirm if the included bulb is dimmable). Trailing edge dimmers work best with LED bulbs and prevent flickering or buzzing.
What size bulb does this pendant take and what's the maximum wattage?
This fitting uses a single G9 capsule bulb with a maximum wattage of 3W, and one G9 bulb is included in the box. G9 bulbs are small bi-pin capsules commonly available in LED, making them energy-efficient and long-lasting. The 3W limit is typical for modern LED G9 bulbs, which provide ample light output for ambient or task lighting in compact spaces.
What are the dimensions of this pendant and how low will it hang?
The shade measures 380mm wide, 290mm deep, and the total drop from ceiling to base is 420mm. With a 2-metre cable, you can adjust the hanging height to suit your space, though the minimum drop will depend on how much cable you loop or shorten during installation. Its compact size makes it ideal for lower ceilings, kitchen islands, or bedside tables where you want light without excessive visual bulk.
Is this stone-effect pendant suitable for bathrooms?
No, this pendant has an IP20 rating, meaning it offers no protection against moisture and is only suitable for dry indoor areas. IP20 fittings must not be installed in bathrooms or any zone subject to water splashes or steam. For bathrooms, you'll need a fitting rated IP44 or higher depending on the zone.
What warranty does the Akari pendant come with?
This pendant light comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The fitting is CE marked and RoHS compliant, meeting UK safety and environmental standards. If you experience any faults within the warranty period, contact EnsoLight with your proof of purchase for support.
The Enso Standard
Anyone can sell you a light.
We’d rather sell you the right one.
Lighting, considered.
Chosen, not stocked
For every piece here, we passed on hundreds. If a fitting doesn’t earn its place, it isn’t here.
Curation is mostly the art of saying no.
Held to one standard
Copenhagen brass or precision-built LED — every piece is vetted the same way: finish, build, light quality, safety. If it doesn’t pass, it doesn’t stay.
The standard doesn’t care what a light costs.
Nothing left to guess
Every dimension, bulb, IP rating and install note published before you buy — you and your electrician know exactly what arrives.
The spec sheet is the love letter.
Backed, properly
Two-year warranty as standard, 30-day returns. If something isn’t right, we’d rather know — and put it right.
A fitting should outlast the fashion that chose it.
