Hudson Valley Massena Pendant

This fixture uses one E26 medium base bulb with a maximum wattage of 150W. You can use standard incandescent, LED, or CFL bulbs that fit this base.

Yes, the white gloss interior is specifically designed to amplify downlight, making it effective for task lighting. The etched glass diffuser also ensures the light is evenly distributed without harsh glare.

The diffuser softens the light and eliminates harsh shadows, creating a more comfortable, ambient glow. It also shields your eyes from the direct glare of the bulb when looking up at the fixture.

The Massena Pendant is UL certified, but it is not specifically rated for damp or wet locations. It is best suited for dry indoor spaces like kitchens, dining rooms, or living areas.

The etched glass diffuser is held in place by diamond-knurled thumbscrews. These can be unscrewed by hand to remove the diffuser and access the porcelain lamp socket.

No, the shade features cutout vents near the top that allow light to cast upward. This creates a subtle glow on the ceiling, adding depth to the room's lighting scheme.
