The painted metal shade is opaque, so light leaves through the open bottom and lands where you need it instead of washing across the ceiling. Choose the 9.8 in (25 cm) shade for tighter islands and clusters of three, or the 11.8 in (30 cm) shade when one or two pendants have to carry a wider surface. The adjustable cord lets you set the drop to your counter height rather than accepting a fixed factory length. Seven finishes, from Black and White through Gray, Light Blue, Dark Blue, Green and Yellow, let the same fixture disappear into a neutral kitchen or become the color moment in it. The E27 socket takes a standard screw-base bulb, so you pick the brightness, the warmth and the dimming behavior, and you can replace the bulb instead of the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBest for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKitchen island:\u003c\/strong\u003e A downward dome over a prep surface gives usable task light without glare bouncing off a quartz or stone counter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBreakfast bar or peninsula:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 25 cm shade is narrow enough to run two or three in a line over a bar without crowding the sight line across the room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDining table:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 30 cm shade holds visual weight over a table and pools warm light on the tabletop for evening meals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall apartment or studio kitchen:\u003c\/strong\u003e One 25 cm pendant on an adjustable cord adds a defined light zone without the ceiling coverage of a large flush mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEntryway or drop zone:\u003c\/strong\u003e A single colored dome at the door creates an arrival moment and lights keys and mail on a console\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBedroom nightstand pair:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two 25 cm pendants replace table lamps and free up the surface of small nightstands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHome office or desk corner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Focused downlight over a desk reduces screen glare compared with a broad ceiling wash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoffee bar or beverage station:\u003c\/strong\u003e A single pendant marks the station as its own zone and makes the counter usable early in the morning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo shade diameters, 9.8 in and 11.8 in, in every one of the seven colors, so you can size the fixture to the surface instead of compromising\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eE27 screw socket means standard replaceable bulbs and no integrated LED module that ends the fixture's life when it fails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable cord lets you tune the hanging height to your counter, table or ceiling height at install\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpaque painted metal shade directs light downward, which is what a task surface needs, rather than scattering it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven color options including Yellow, Green, Dark Blue and Light Blue, which is a wider palette than most metal dome pendants in this range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14 variants from one product family, so a three-pendant island run and a single dining pendant can match exactly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePriced from $124.99 to $134.99, inside the under-$200 band buyers use as a quality-to-price screen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as single pendants, so you control the count and spacing rather than buying a fixed multi-head bar fixture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoom fit guidance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver a 6 ft island, run two 11.8 in pendants or three 9.8 in pendants and keep them centered on the island's long axis, not the ceiling's\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver an 8 ft island, three 9.8 in pendants read balanced;

This soft dome pendant covers all three: metal shade that aims light down, 9.8 in or 11.8 in diameters, and an adjustable cord you set to your counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich E27 pendant light should I buy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePick one where the socket is not tied to a built-in LED. This pendant uses a standard E27 screw base, so you choose your own bulb brightness, warmth and dimming, and you replace the bulb rather than the fixture when it eventually fails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs E27 the same as a standard US bulb base?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eE27 is the metric name for the common medium screw base, the same threaded fitting used by most standard household screw-in bulbs. If a bulb screws into a normal table lamp socket, it is the same family of base as this pendant uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size pendant light should I use over a kitchen island?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatch the shade to the island length and pendant count. Two 11.8 in shades or three 9.8 in shades suit a typical 6 ft island. On a narrow bar or a tight galley, the 9.8 in shade keeps the sight line open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I choose the 9.8 in or the 11.8 in shade?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose 9.8 in (25 cm) for clusters of three, narrow bars, small kitchens and low ceilings. Choose 11.8 in (30 cm) when one or two pendants have to light a wide island or a dining table and you want more visual weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many pendant lights do I need over a 6 foot island?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo pendants is the common answer for a 6 ft island, spaced evenly along the long axis. Three of the 9.8 in shades also works if you want a rhythmic look. Center them on the island, not on the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many pendants over an 8 foot island?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree pendants suits an 8 ft island. Use the 9.8 in shade so three domes do not crowd the span, or step down to two 11.8 in shades if you prefer a quieter, more minimal line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow high should the pendant hang above a counter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet the cord so the bottom of the shade clears sight lines across the island and does not block the view of someone standing opposite. Adjust the cord before final tightening and check the height while standing at the counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use an LED bulb in this pendant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The E27 socket accepts standard screw-base LED bulbs. Stay within the wattage limit given in the fixture instructions, and pick the color temperature you want since the bulb, not the fixture, decides how warm the light looks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I dim this pendant light?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimming depends on the bulb and switch, not the shade. Use a dimmable E27 LED bulb with a dimmer rated for LED loads. Non-dimmable bulbs will flicker or refuse to dim, so check the bulb packaging before wiring a dimmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat bulb color temperature works best over a kitchen island?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarmer light suits evening and dining; neutral light suits prep work. Because the bulb is not built in, you can start with one temperature and swap it later without changing the fixture, which is harder with an integrated LED pendant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes a metal shade give focused or ambient light?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFocused. The painted metal shade is opaque, so light exits the open bottom and lands on the surface below. If you want a soft glow filling the whole room, pair these pendants with a separate ambient ceiling or cove light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a soft dome shade?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA soft dome is a rounded, bowl-like shade with a gently curved shoulder rather than a hard cone or a sharp cylinder. It gives a calmer silhouette than an industrial cone while still aiming light straight down onto the counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDome pendant vs cone pendant, which is better over a counter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth aim light down. A cone throws a tighter, more dramatic spot with a hard edge. A soft dome spreads a slightly wider pool with a softer edge, which usually reads friendlier over an island where people eat as well as work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMetal shade or glass shade, which should I pick?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetal blocks upward light and keeps glare off your eyes, so it suits task zones. Glass glows and adds ambient spill, so it suits decorative placements. Over a prep island, the opaque metal dome is the more practical of the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this pendant create glare over a stone counter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn opaque downward shade reduces the sideways glare you get from bare-bulb or open-globe pendants. On a high-gloss counter, a lower-lumen or frosted bulb further softens reflections. The shade shape is doing the main work here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich pendant color goes with white cabinets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack and Dark Blue give the strongest contrast and define the island as its own element. Gray reads quieter. Yellow or Green turn the pendants into the focal point of an otherwise neutral kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich pendant color works in a dark or navy kitchen?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite, Light Blue and Yellow keep a dark kitchen from feeling closed in and give the eye a bright anchor. Black can work if the cabinets are matte and you want the pendants to recede rather than stand out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I mix pendant colors in one kitchen?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can, and two related tones such as Light Blue and Dark Blue read intentional. Mixing three unrelated colors usually reads accidental. A safer approach is one color for the island run and a second color for a separate zone like a coffee bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this pendant good for a small apartment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The 9.8 in shade and adjustable cord suit compact kitchens and studio layouts, where a single defined pool of light over the counter is more useful than a broad ceiling wash. One pendant is often enough over a short run of counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a pendant light better than a flush mount ceiling light?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey do different jobs. A flush mount spreads general light across a room. A pendant drops light onto a specific surface. Over an island or table you want the pendant; for whole-room brightness you want the flush mount, or both together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSoft Dome pendant vs a flush mount, which should I buy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy the pendant if you have a defined work or dining surface and want light concentrated there, plus a visible design element. Buy a flush mount if your ceiling is very low, the room has no focal surface, or you need even general light only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this worth it compared to cheaper pendant lights?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe differences that matter at this price are the metal shade instead of thin painted plastic, two real diameter options, an adjustable cord, seven colors and a standard E27 socket. Cheaper pendants usually fix one size, one finish and sometimes a non-replaceable bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between a cheap pendant light and an expensive one?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShade material and finish quality, whether the socket takes a standard replaceable bulb, whether hanging height adjusts, and how consistently color is applied. This pendant addresses those points at $124.99 to $134.99 rather than through decorative extras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the highest quality pendant light under $200?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt this price, prioritize a metal shade, a standard E27 socket, adjustable hanging height and a size that matches your surface. This pendant is $124.99 to $134.99 and offers all four, plus a choice of two diameters and seven finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre colorful pendant lights still in style in 2026?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColor has stayed in kitchen lighting, but the way it is used has shifted toward saturated solids on simple shapes rather than patterned or ornate fixtures. A plain dome in Green, Yellow or Dark Blue fits that direction without dating quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this pendant over a dining table?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Use the 11.8 in shade and center it on the tabletop rather than on the room. One pendant suits a round or square table; two spaced along the length suit a long rectangular table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I hang this over a breakfast nook?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. A single 9.8 in or 11.8 in pendant works well over a nook table, hung low enough to create a pool of light on the table but high enough to clear heads when people slide into a banquette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this pendant in a bedroom?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. A pair of 9.8 in pendants over nightstands frees up surface space that table lamps take. Set the cord so the shade sits at roughly reading height when you are sitting up in bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this in an entryway?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. A single dome over a console or drop zone lights keys and mail and gives the entry a defined focal point. A colored finish is a low-risk way to add personality in a small area you pass through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this work over a kitchen sink?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and it solves a common problem: an overhead ceiling light behind you casts your own shadow into the basin. A single pendant directly above the sink puts light where your hands are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use these over a peninsula?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. A peninsula usually takes one or two pendants depending on length. Use the 9.8 in shade if the peninsula is narrow or the room's sight lines matter, since smaller domes stay visually out of the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this suitable for a rental?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a ceiling-mounted hardwired fixture, so it requires access to a ceiling electrical box and, in most rentals, landlord permission. If you can swap a ceiling fixture, keep the original and reinstall it when you move out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the cord length adjust?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the hanging cord is adjustable, so you set the drop to your counter, table or ceiling height. Set the height before final tightening, and check it standing at the surface rather than from across the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I shorten the cord?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cord is adjustable, so height is set during installation. If you need a very short drop for a low ceiling, plan that during install and, if you are unsure how the adjustment mechanism works on your unit, have an electrician set it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this pendant need a junction box?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a ceiling-mounted hanging fixture, it needs an appropriate ceiling electrical box that is rated to support a hanging light. If you do not have one, or you are not sure what you have, get an electrician to assess before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need an electrician to install this?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are comfortable replacing an existing ceiling fixture and your local rules allow it, many people install a pendant themselves. If the wiring, box or mounting hardware is unfamiliar, use a licensed electrician. Always cut power at the breaker first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I install this on a sloped ceiling?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSloped-ceiling installation depends on the mounting hardware and the slope angle, so confirm the fixture's mounting parts and your ceiling condition with an electrician before ordering. A cord pendant generally hangs plumb, but the canopy has to sit correctly on the slope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I clean the metal shade?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the painted metal with a dry or lightly damp soft cloth. Skip abrasive pads and harsh solvents, which can dull or scratch a painted finish. Let the bulb cool and cut power before cleaning around the socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich finish hides fingerprints best?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLighter finishes such as White, Gray and Light Blue tend to show marks less than a deep matte Black, which reveals dust and oils more readily in a kitchen. All finishes wipe down with a dry soft cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many colors does this pendant come in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeven: Black, White, Gray, Light Blue, Dark Blue, Green and Yellow. Each color is offered in both the 9.8 in and 11.8 in shade, which gives 14 variants and lets you match sizes across zones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I match a large pendant over the table with small ones over the island?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Because both diameters exist in all seven colors, you can run three 9.8 in pendants over the island and hang one 11.8 in pendant of the same color over the dining table so the two zones read as one design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat ceiling height does this suit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adjustable cord makes it workable across a range of ceiling heights. For low ceilings, choose the 9.8 in shade and a short drop so the shade sits above standing eye level. For tall or vaulted ceilings, lengthen the cord so the light reaches into the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this pendant too big for a small kitchen?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 11.8 in shade can dominate a very small kitchen. In tight spaces the 9.8 in shade is usually the better call, particularly if you are hanging more than one or if the ceiling is under standard height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it come with a bulb?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe listing describes an E27 socket that takes a replaceable screw-base bulb. Confirm bulb inclusion on the product page before ordering, and plan on choosing your own bulb if you want a specific brightness, color temperature or dimmable behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat style of kitchen does this suit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNordic, Scandinavian, Japandi, modern minimalist and contemporary kitchens with flat-front cabinets and simple hardware. The plain dome silhouette avoids the ornament of farmhouse or traditional fixtures and the exposed cage look of industrial ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this in a home office?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. A single pendant over a desk gives directed light onto the work surface and reduces the broad ceiling glare that shows up on screens. Position it slightly forward of the monitor so it lights the desk rather than the screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the shade opaque or translucent?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpaque. It is painted metal, so light does not pass through the shade body. That is why the beam is focused downward and the ceiling stays comparatively dark, which is the look most buyers want over an island at night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this light my whole kitchen?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot on its own. A downward dome is task lighting for a specific surface. Most kitchens still want a ceiling fixture, recessed cans or under-cabinet lights for general brightness, with pendants adding the focused layer over the island.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this compare to a bar-style multi-light fixture?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA linear bar fixture fixes the spacing and count for you. Buying single pendants lets you set your own spacing, use different quantities in different zones, and replace or add one later without swapping an entire fixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many should I buy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCount depends on surface length: one for a nook, sink or entry, two for a typical island or a long dining table, three for a long island or bar. Buy all of them at once so the finish batch matches across the run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat price range is this pendant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e$124.99 to $134.99 depending on variant. That places it under the $200 threshold many buyers use when searching for a quality pendant, while still using a metal shade and a standard replaceable-bulb socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the downsides of this pendant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is task lighting, not room lighting, so it will not brighten a whole kitchen alone. It is hardwired, so it needs a ceiling box and possibly an electrician. And the bulb is chosen separately, which is flexible but is one more decision.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HOUSELAND","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ 11.8 in (30 cm)","offer_id":45883651489839,"sku":"136:200006153#With LED bulb;200000531:1254#Black lamp 2;200007763:201336100;249:200006305#1.5m wire adjustable;5:361386#Dia 30cm","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 9.8 in (25 cm)","offer_id":45883651522607,"sku":"136:200006153#With LED bulb;200000531:1254#Black lamp 2;200007763:201336100;249:200006305#1.5m wire adjustable;5:361385#Dia 25cm","price":124.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark Blue \/ 11.8 in (30 cm)","offer_id":45883651555375,"sku":"136:200006153#With LED bulb;200000531:200006156#Dark blue lamp 2;200007763:201336100;249:200006305#1.5m wire adjustable;5:361386#Dia 30cm","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark Blue \/ 9.8 in (25 cm)","offer_id":45883651588143,"sku":"136:200006153#With LED bulb;200000531:200006156#Dark blue lamp 2;200007763:201336100;249:200006305#1.5m wire adjustable;5:361385#Dia 25cm","price":124.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gray \/ 11.8 in (30 cm)","offer_id":45883651620911,"sku":"136:200006153#With LED bulb;200000531:200006154#Grey lamp 2;200007763:201336100;249:200006305#1.5m wire adjustable;5:361386#Dia 30cm","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gray \/ 9.8 in (25 cm)","offer_id":45883651653679,"sku":"136:200006153#With LED bulb;200000531:200006154#Grey lamp 2;200007763:201336100;249:200006305#1.5m wire adjustable;5:361385#Dia 25cm","price":124.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green \/ 11.8 in (30 cm)","offer_id":45883651686447,"sku":"136:200006153#With LED bulb;200000531:200003699#Green lamp 2;200007763:201336100;249:200006305#1.5m wire adjustable;5:361386#Dia 30cm","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green \/ 9.8 in (25 cm)","offer_id":45883651719215,"sku":"136:200006153#With LED bulb;200000531:200003699#Green lamp 2;200007763:201336100;249:200006305#1.5m wire adjustable;5:361385#Dia 25cm","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light Blue \/ 11.8 in (30 cm)","offer_id":45883651751983,"sku":"136:200006153#With LED bulb;200000531:496#Light blue lamp 2;200007763:201336100;249:200006305#1.5m wire adjustable;5:361386#Dia 30cm","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light Blue \/ 9.8 in (25 cm)","offer_id":45883651784751,"sku":"136:200006153#With LED bulb;200000531:496#Light blue lamp 2;200007763:201336100;249:200006305#1.5m wire adjustable;5:361385#Dia 25cm","price":124.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ 11.8 in (30 cm)","offer_id":45883651817519,"sku":"136:200006153#With LED bulb;200000531:1052#White lamp 2;200007763:201336100;249:200006305#1.5m wire adjustable;5:361386#Dia 30cm","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ 9.8 in (25 cm)","offer_id":45883651850287,"sku":"136:200006153#With LED bulb;200000531:1052#White lamp 2;200007763:201336100;249:200006305#1.5m wire adjustable;5:361385#Dia 25cm","price":124.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow \/ 11.8 in (30 cm)","offer_id":45883651883055,"sku":"136:200006153#With LED bulb;200000531:200000195#Yellow lamp 2;200007763:201336100;249:200006305#1.5m wire adjustable;5:361386#Dia 30cm","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow \/ 9.8 in (25 cm)","offer_id":45883651915823,"sku":"136:200006153#With LED bulb;200000531:200000195#Yellow lamp 2;200007763:201336100;249:200006305#1.5m wire adjustable;5:361385#Dia 25cm","price":124.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/4046\/6479\/files\/a3-breakfast-bar_2e0372dd-d60e-45b0-bc7c-bb9a73c6c9fc.jpg?v=1787833567","url":"https:\/\/thehouseland.com\/products\/nordic-e27-metal-pendant-light-style-2","provider":"HOUSELAND","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
