outer and a shaped opal glass inner, which allows for maximumdistribution of light. The glass on glass effect gives a classy, modern look. The Eglo Pinto 1 pendant features a contemporary, urban design with a strong look to complement residential city lofts as well as large public dining spaces. The inner cut-out has a chrome finish whilst the glass shade is clear and the steel cut-outs in the inner shade allow light to shine outwards and downwards. Each pen- dant takes a 50W lamp. Both the Pinto Nero and Pinto 1 are avail- able as a single- or three-light pendant and all the designs allowing for height customisa- tion and can easily be installed on a sloped ceiling. The standard cord length for these products is 1 100 mm. According to Shaun Bouchier, director at Eurolux, the reason that somany pendants offer a set of three lights is to achieve bal- ance.“An easy way to attain balance is to repeat an element three times. Naturally, scale is also important … if a kitchen has a smaller island it might be better to use two pendants – because in such cases three pen- dants might be overwhelming. But for that reason, pendants often offer slimdesigns, which allow three pendants to fit quite easily over a selected space.” Those who prefer a traditional look will appreciate the Eglo Alessandra single light pendant, which has an LED light source. The Alessandra has a white finish and a beautiful, wide alabaster glass shade. The cord length is 1 100 mm and the height of the lamp can be easily adjusted. The EGLOThebe offers a distinctly African feel with its opal glass globe encased by a flowing wire cage in a brushed steel finish. This durable yet delicate decorative light can be used independently or grouped to ensure it becomes the focal point of any room. The 1 100 mm cord is adjustable and when grouping the pendants, cord lengths can be varied to achieve a striking effect. The Musero pendant collection by Eglo is a stylish and unique range featuringmachined aluminium trims in glass tube shades, sus- pended fromdark aluminiummetal ware. Fitted with built-in COB LEDs in 3 000 K warmwhite, this versatile and stylish pendant light is suitable for any roomwith a contemporary feel. It can comfortably be used in entrances, kitchens, living and dining areas and fitted either as a single light or three light pendants. The three light pendants are available in two formats – a round aluminiumdisc with three lamps suspended in a circle or with the three lamps suspended in a row from a linear aluminium rod. “Eurolux has an extensive range of pen- dants for retailers and wholesalers however, the public can also view the range online or visit one of the lifestyle showrooms in Cape Town or Johannesburg,”explains Bouchier, adding that customers who want to pur- chase specific items will be referred to their closest retailer.“But viewing the products in a lifestyle setting is always beneficial,” concludes Bouchier.
