Louis Poulsen Patera Pendant

Yes, it is designed to be highly functional. Its unique structure provides direct downward illumination suitable for task lighting, while simultaneously casting a soft, ambient glow upward to illuminate the rest of the room.

The Patera is damp-rated, meaning it can safely be installed in bathrooms or covered outdoor areas where there is moisture in the air, provided it is not directly exposed to water.

Yes, the fixture is dimmable. We recommend pairing it with a compatible LED bulb and a dimmer switch that supports the specific wattage of your chosen bulb to achieve the desired atmosphere.

Because the fixture is made of matte PVC sheets, it is best cleaned by gently dusting it with a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a feather duster. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.

The fixture mounts via a standard canopy system. While it is straightforward for those comfortable with basic electrical work, we recommend professional installation due to the delicate nature of the hand-assembled structure and the weight of the unit.

It uses a standard A-19 bulb with a maximum wattage of 100 watts. Since the bulb is partially visible through the structure, we recommend selecting a decorative or high-quality LED bulb for the best aesthetic result.
