Narrower and longer than the Thorne at 28 cm, with a small lens at the base. The extra length and the tighter bore mean a more contained beam, so the light lands where you point it instead of spilling across the room.
Think of it as the working member of the range. Over an island, a prep area or a bar it gives you a proper pool of light on the surface while the fitting itself stays visually slim, which matters when you are hanging three or four in a row and do not want a line of heavy shapes across the ceiling.
Where it earns its place
-
Kitchen islands. A run of three or four looks intentional and keeps the sightline across the room open.
-
Bar and serving counters. Tight beam on the surface, no glare in the eyeline of whoever is standing behind it.
-
Narrow spaces. At 6.5 cm across it suits a galley kitchen, a utility or a boot room where a wide shade would feel bulky.
-
Ceilings you cannot cut. Surface mounted, so nothing goes into the void above.
Real stone, so no two are the same
On a long slim tube the banding reads as vertical striping down the length, which is why these look best hung in a run of three where the variation between them is visible and deliberate. Yours will not be an exact match for the photographs. The gallery carries a life size macro.
Fitting it
Twenty-eight centimetres is a genuine drop, so measure the head height before you commit, especially over a breakfast bar where someone stands up rather than sits. If you are hanging a run, settle the spacing before the wiring goes in and not after: three tubes on even centres look designed, three placed wherever the joists allowed do not. Nothing is recessed, so the ceiling stays intact. Warm white LED bulb supplied, no dimmer.
