Black Acrylic Pendant Light
Whether you're revamping your kitchen or elevating your office vibe, the Black Acrylic Pendant Light – Amara delivers that sleek, eye-catching touch every modern South African space deserves. It’s got the looks, the functionality, and the flexibility to fit right into your world – no buzz, no fuss, just good lighting that makes life brighter.
Just last week in Paarl, a customer shared how they installed a row of these pendants over their butcher block island — not only did it transform their dinner parties, but it also became the most complimented feature in their home. Proof that sometimes, it's the lighting that sets the tone.

Why We Love This
Practical Everyday Use
Loadshedding may come and go, but the ambience in your space doesn’t have to suffer. The Amara strikes that sweet spot of style and practicality. It's especially great in compact areas — add a warm E27 LED bulb and voilà, instant mood lighting for your dining, kitchen or coffee nook.
Micro-summary: Stylish indoor lighting with adaptable brightness and height for everyday homes or offices.
Installer Tip: Position pendants 75–85cm above a table or counter for balanced illumination without overhead glare.
Smart Design Details
Crafted from lightweight acrylic and IP20 rated, the Amara Pendant is perfect for dry indoor environments like lounges and workspaces. Its open bottom ensures strong downward lighting, while the diffused sides offer a gentle peripheral glow. Acrylic handles heat well and resists the corrosion associated with coastal air.
Micro-summary: Heat-resistant materials and open design ensure both longevity and comfort in South African homes.
Practical Note: Dust with a microfiber cloth to maintain clarity and avoid static build-up.
Who It’s Perfect For
If you're a homeowner looking to modernise your space, a small café looking for a focal point above your barista counter, or a landlord aiming to refresh a rental unit — this one’s for you. Airbnb hosts in stylish apartments across the Cape will love how easy this pendant is to install and maintain.
Micro-summary: Great for homeowners, Airbnb hosts, and small businesses seeking stylish indoor lighting.
How It Compares to Alternatives
Compared to a traditional GU10 spotlight, this E27 pendant gives you far more freedom — allowing for a wide range of smart or energy-saving bulbs. And where multi-bulb chandeliers can clutter a room, this sleek, single-drum pendant keeps it simple and modern — less is definitely more in this case.
