Jama Rattan Pendant Light — Natural Woven, 30cm

The Jama uses a standard E27 screw fitting, which is the most common large Edison screw bulb type in the UK. You can choose any E27 bulb you prefer — LED, filament, or halogen — allowing you to control the brightness, colour temperature, and energy efficiency. We'd recommend an LED filament bulb for a warm, ambient glow that complements the natural rattan weave.

Under UK Building Regulations Part P, installing or replacing a ceiling light fitting is generally considered notifiable electrical work in some areas, particularly if it involves new circuits or work in kitchens or bathrooms. While many homeowners do replace like-for-like pendants themselves, if you're unsure about your existing wiring or don't have experience with electrical work, we strongly recommend hiring a qualified electrician. The fitting comes with mounting screws, plugs, and installation instructions.

Dimming capability depends entirely on the bulb you choose, as the Jama itself is simply a shade with an E27 lampholder. If you use a dimmable E27 LED or filament bulb and have a compatible dimmer switch installed, you'll be able to dim the light. Make sure your dimmer switch is rated for LED bulbs if you're using LEDs, as older dimmer switches designed for halogens may not work properly.

The rattan shade itself is 30cm in diameter, making it ideal for smaller spaces, breakfast bars, or clustering in groups. The total drop height will depend on the length of flex or chain you use and how you wire it — the product comes as a shade and lampholder, so you'll need to factor in your ceiling rose setup and any adjustable cable you add. Most installations hang between 40–80cm from the ceiling, but this is adjustable during fitting.

No, the Jama is not suitable for bathroom use as it has no IP rating and is not designed to withstand moisture or steam. Bathroom lighting must meet specific IP ratings depending on the zone — typically IP44 or higher near showers and baths. This pendant is best suited to dry indoor areas such as kitchens, dining rooms, bedrooms, or hallways.

The amount of light depends entirely on the bulb you choose, as the Jama is a shade only. The open weave of the rattan will create lovely patterned shadows but does allow plenty of light to escape, so it won't feel overly dim. For ambient lighting in a dining or living area, a 6–10W LED bulb (equivalent to 40–60W incandescent) works beautifully, while kitchens or task areas may benefit from a brighter 12–15W option.
