From The Anvil Lighting

Buying Guide

How to Choose From The Anvil Lighting

Every From The Anvil light is built from three choices: the design, the metal and the shade colour. These are the main things to check.

1. The design and size: the Brindley is the smallest pendant at 260mm, then the Harborne at 400mm, the Frankley at 412mm, the Flora at 500mm and the Hockley at 510mm. For a high hallway or stairwell, choose a cluster pendant with five shades.

2. The metal: brass gives a soft, warm glow; copper a warm light that suits a cooler bulb; nickel a bright, reflective finish; and hammered finishes a soft, dappled light. White gloss Accent pendants are the brightest.

3. The colour: leave the shade bare, or choose one of 12 colours for the outside, from Elan Black to Upstream blue and Heath green. See all coloured pendant lights.

4. Wall lights: match Brindley or Flora wall lights to your pendants. They project 224mm and run on a 12V E14 LED bulb.

5. Bulbs: bulbs are bought separately and must be LED, up to 6W. See our LED light bulbs for the matching E27 and 12V E14 bulbs.

From The Anvil Lighting FAQs

Which From The Anvil pendant should I choose?

Choose by size first: the Brindley is 260mm across, the Harborne 400mm, the Frankley 412mm, the Flora 500mm and the Hockley 510mm. Then pick the metal for the inside of the shade and the colour for the outside. For a high hallway or dining room, a five pendant cluster makes a statement.

Are bulbs included with From The Anvil lights?

No. Bulbs are purchased separately. Pendants take an E27 LED bulb up to 6W and wall lights take an E14 12V LED bulb up to 6W. From The Anvil makes a 5W E27 vintage Edison bulb for its pendants and two 12V bulbs for its wall lights.

Are From The Anvil pendant lights dimmable?

From The Anvil says its pendants and cluster pendants are dimmable when fitted with a compatible dimmable LED bulb. Its wall lights run on a 12V LED bulb and are not dimmable.
