Soft, ambient lighting for bedrooms, dining areas, and cozy spaces. Part of the NICOL Collection, this drum pendant is designed to bring a calm, even glow into the space. It works well over dining tables, in bedrooms, or anywhere you want softer, more relaxed lighting. A drum shade is normally fabric stretched over a wire frame, and that craft has barely changed in a hundred years. NICOL keeps the frame and the proportions and swaps out what goes around them. The shade is built in two bands. The upper one is modified wood veneer, cut thin enough to bend around the drum and still show its grain. The lower one is black perforated foil, a fine grid of holes running the whole way around. Switch it on and the two halves do different things. The veneer stays quiet and warm, with a line of light glowing along the seam where the bands meet. The perforated band lights up like a screen, and because the holes are small and evenly spaced, it throws a soft dotted pattern across the walls and ceiling once it gets dark. The bottom is open, so you still get proper light straight down onto the table. That is the whole idea behind the collection. Take a lampshade technique that has sat still for decades, swap fabric for wood and perforated foil, and see what the light does differently. The construction is completely traditional. Only the materials moved. The result is warm, diffused illumination that feels comfortable and easy to live with, paired with a look that balances natural tones and modern contrast.

Two bands stacked into one drum. The upper band is modified wood veneer, cut thin enough to bend around the frame and still show its grain. The lower band is black perforated foil, a fine grid of holes running the whole way around. A drum shade is normally fabric stretched over a wire frame, and NICOL keeps that construction but swaps the material out. Made in Poland by TK Lighting. What does the light look like when it is on? The veneer band stays warm and quiet, with a line of light glowing along the seam where the two bands meet. The perforated band below it lights up like a screen and throws a soft dotted pattern across the walls and ceiling once the room is dark. The bottom of the shade is open, so you still get a proper pool of light straight down onto the table underneath. What are the exact dimensions? The drum is 14.96 inches (380 mm) across. Maximum drop is 62.99 inches (1600 mm) including the cord, and it is adjustable, so you shorten it during install. That is a compact drum, which is why it suits a bedroom or a smaller dining table rather than a long island. What bulb does it take, and is it included? One E26 bulb, not included, so you can pick your own brightness and colour temperature. Max 15W LED, and that is the LED rating, not the light output. A 15W LED puts out roughly the same light as a 100W incandescent, which is plenty for a single pendant. For warm light through the veneer look for 2700K. How high should I hang it above a counter or table? Over a kitchen island or counter, 30 to 36 inches from the surface to the bottom of the shade. Over a dining table, 28 to 34 inches from the tabletop. Lower feels more intimate, higher spreads the light more broadly. The cord adjusts so you set the exact drop during install. Is it dimmable? Yes, with an external dimmer switch or dimmable smart bulbs. There is no integrated dimmer in the fixture, so you can use whatever system you already have. If I hang two or three, does each need its own ceiling box? Yes. This is a single pendant on its own canopy, so three over a table means three ceiling boxes. Worth knowing before you plan a row of them. How do I clean the shade? Turn it off and let the bulb cool first. A dry microfibre cloth handles dust on the veneer. Keep water off the wood. The perforated band collects a little dust in the holes, so a soft brush or a vacuum on low sorts that out. No cleaning sprays, and nothing abrasive on the veneer. Can it go in a bathroom or on a covered porch? No, it is rated for dry locations only. Wood veneer and damp are a bad mix, so keep it out of bathrooms with a shower or tub and anywhere else exposed to moisture. Is it approved for Canadian electrical code? Yes. cUL listed for both Canada and the US, so it passes inspection and will not cause issues with insurance or a home sale. Made in Poland by TK Lighting. Do I need an electrician? It is a hardwired fixture that requires installation. If you are replacing an existing ceiling light on the same box, many people handle it themselves. If you are adding a new box or moving the location, use a licensed electrician. The fixture is light at 1.7 kg. Is this real Scandinavian design or a copy? Made in Poland by TK Lighting, a European manufacturer, not a rebranded import. Country of origin is listed in the specs. How fast does it ship? Ships from our Mississauga warehouse. 1 to 3 business days to Eastern Canada, 4 to 6 to Western Canada. Free shipping over $149. What is the warranty? 2 years from date of purchase.
