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 Vela alabaster pendant require an electrician to install?
Yes, this pendant is hardwired to the mains and must be installed by a qualified electrician in compliance with UK Building Regulations Part P. The installation itself is straightforward, requiring connection to your existing ceiling rose or BESA box, but legal compliance and safety require professional fitting. All necessary mounting hardware, screws, and plugs are included in the box.
Is the Vela pendant dimmable and what type of bulb does it need?
Yes, the Vela is dimmable when paired with a compatible E27 ES dimmable bulb and a suitable dimmer switch on your circuit. It accepts standard Edison Screw (E27) bulbs up to 40W maximum, giving you flexibility to choose LED, filament, or other bulb styles to achieve your preferred light output and colour temperature. Bulbs are not included with the fitting.
What are the exact dimensions and is the cable length adjustable?
The alabaster shade measures 170mm in diameter and 210mm in height, with a suspension cable of 1.8 metres. The cable length is adjustable, allowing you to set the perfect drop height for your space—ideal for accommodating different ceiling heights or achieving the right proportion above a dining table or kitchen island.
Can this pendant light be used in a bathroom?
No, the Vela has an IP20 rating, which means it's only suitable for dry indoor locations and offers no protection against moisture. For bathroom use, you would need a fitting rated at least IP44 (or IP65 for shower zones), so this pendant should be reserved for living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas, or kitchens away from direct water exposure.
How much light does the Vela alabaster pendant give off?
The light output depends entirely on your choice of E27 bulb, as the fitting accommodates up to 40W maximum. The natural alabaster shade diffuses light beautifully, softening and warming the glow while creating subtle shadows from the stone's unique copper veining—expect a gentle, ambient illumination rather than bright task lighting, making it perfect for mood lighting over dining tables.
Is each alabaster shade unique and what colour is it?
Yes, each Vela pendant features a natural alabaster shade with cream tones and delicate copper veining that varies from piece to piece, making every light genuinely one-of-a-kind. The organic variations in the stone's patterning create a unique interplay of light and shadow when illuminated, complemented by the satin brass metalwork for a warm, sophisticated finish.
The Enso Standard
Anyone can sell you a light.
We’d rather sell you the right one.
Lighting, considered.
01
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.
02
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.
03
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.
04
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.
