Avery Smoke Glass Pendant Light
There’s just something about a perfectly placed pendant light that brings a room to life — especially when it’s as sleek and modern as the Avery Smoke Glass Pendant Light. Whether you're revamping your home office, creating a soft glow in your bedroom, or adding ambience to your dinner parties, this light’s elegant shape and smoky glass finish make it effortlessly stylish for any South African space.
One of our customers in Gqeberha recently swapped out an old fluorescent ceiling light in her dining room for a trio of Avery Pendants. The result? Soft, layered lighting that made dinners feel more intimate, and guests couldn’t stop commenting on the chic glass glow.

Why We Love This
Practical Everyday Use
The Avery Smoke Glass Pendant Light is a shining example of how lighting should work for you — not just light the way. In load-shedding-challenged homes or rental apartments, elegant feature lighting makes all the difference, offering function and form without permanent structural changes.
Micro-summary: Perfect for styling compact South African interiors with a sophisticated touch.
Installer Tip: Use a warm-white LED E27 globe (2700K–3000K) for a golden glow that complements the smoky glass finish beautifully.
Smart Design Details
This pendant is all about practical elegance. The cedar glass doesn’t just look good — it’s strong and long-lasting. The IP20 rating makes it perfect for dry indoor areas, and its small 19cm diameter allows for clustering without crowding. Great for coastal homes too, due to the non-corrosive matt black finish.
Micro-summary: Designed for stylish homes with simple, robust construction and coastal-safe materials.
Practical Note: Wipe with a soft cloth every few weeks to maintain its smoky-glass charm.
Who It’s Perfect For
This is a go-to choice for Airbnb hosts sprucing up a guest room, professional spaces looking to soften the mood, or homeowners wanting to revitalise kitchens or bedrooms with a distinctive pendant.
Micro-summary: Ideal for anyone wanting a stylish indoor upgrade with minimal hassle.
How It Compares to Alternatives
Compared to wide-beam spotlights, the Avery Pendant creates a more diffused, ambient mood rather than task lighting. And unlike GU10 fittings, its E27 compatibility makes it easy to swap globes (including smart bulbs) without rewiring. The smoky glass also offers a warmer tint vs. clear glass pendants — perfect for setting a cosy tone.
| Feature | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Cedar Glass Shade | Tougher than standard glass and beautifully tinted for ambience |
| IP20 Indoor Rating | Safe for dry indoor use areas like bedrooms, lounges and offices |
