Visual Comfort Thomas O'Brien Reed Hanging Shade

This fixture uses a rigid rod mounting system, which is designed for flat ceilings. It is not compatible with sloped or vaulted ceilings.

With two E26 bulbs capable of up to 100 watts each, this fixture provides significant, balanced illumination. The linen shade acts as a diffuser, softening the light to create a warm, ambient glow rather than harsh, direct beams.

The hand-rubbed antique brass finish is applied by hand, meaning there will be slight variations in the patina. This intentional process gives each piece a unique, aged character that feels authentic rather than mass-produced.

This fixture has a dry location rating, meaning it is not suitable for spaces with high humidity or direct moisture, such as bathrooms or directly over a kitchen sink where water exposure is likely. It is best suited for dining rooms, living areas, or dry kitchens.

The fixture itself does not include a dimmer switch, but it is compatible with most standard wall-mounted dimmers. We recommend using dimmable bulbs to fully control the ambiance of the room.

For dining tables, we recommend hanging the bottom of the shade approximately 30 to 36 inches above the tabletop. This height provides a clear line of sight while ensuring the light is properly focused on the surface.
