Early Electric is a multi-light pendant from Maxim Lighting. It comes in 3 sizes: 3-Light, 11.75 in, 5-Light, 13.75 in and 8-Light, 15.75 in. It is finished in Black / Antique Brass.
The Design Story
Fabric-covered black cord drops to bare-bones aged brass sockets, reviving the look of early utility lighting with a little theatrical play. Swag the cords from ceiling hangers, group them at different drops, or hang one alone; the arrangement is yours to compose. Exposed bulbs and warm metal give a vintage, industrial feel that still sits comfortably in modern interiors, especially over bars, kitchen islands and casual dining spaces.
Why You’ll Love It
It takes E26 Medium bulbs up to 60W per socket, which makes it easy to choose your own color temperature and brightness. Materials: steel, aluminum.
