Glass Globe Opal 500 Schwung – Opal glass globe pendant Ø 50 cm – GLOBES Collection
The Glass Globe Opal 500 by Schwung gives the purity of the sphere a strikingly generous scale. Its impressive Ø 500 mm globe in triplex soda-lime opal glass is paired with a slender metal structure, creating a pendant that feels both minimal and substantial. Part of the GLOBES concept, it reinterprets historic lighting forms through a contemporary design language, while its rigid stem suspension eliminates the appearance of a conventional hanging cable.
A large Ø 500 mm opal globe for soft, diffused light
The defining feature of the Glass Globe Opal 500 is its generous Ø 500 mm spherical shade. Made from triplex soda-lime opal glass, it surrounds the light source and distributes its glow softly and evenly throughout the globe.
Its larger proportions give the pendant a strong decorative presence without compromising its minimalist character. It is particularly suited above a dining table, in a spacious living area, entrance or room with a generous ceiling height.
How can the height of the Glass Globe Opal 500 be adjusted?
The Glass Globe Opal 500 is suspended from a rigid metal stem rather than a visible suspension cable. This creates a particularly clean vertical connection between the ceiling and the luminous sphere.
Extension rods measuring 150, 300 and 450 mm are included, allowing the overall drop to be adapted to the interior. Depending on the configuration, the pendant ranges from approximately 1051 to 1957 mm in height. Its discreet ceiling canopy measures Ø 140 mm and only 12 mm high.
Which light source should be used with the Glass Globe Opal 500?
The pendant features an E27 socket and is designed for an LED light source. The specified configuration uses an 8W LED producing approximately 600 lumens at a colour temperature of 3000K. The warm white light is softened by the large opal glass diffuser.
Light intensity can be adjusted when using a compatible light source with an electronic ELV trailing-edge dimmer. Operating at 220-240V and rated IP20, the Glass Globe Opal 500 is designed for indoor use.
Which Glass Globe Opal sizes are available?
The Glass Globe Opal family is offered in five globe diameters. This Glass Globe Opal 500 features a Ø 500 mm sphere. Smaller versions include the Glass Globe Opal 200 at Ø 200 mm, the 300 at Ø 300 mm and the 400 at Ø 400 mm, while the Glass Globe Opal 600 increases the diameter to Ø 600 mm.
These different sizes make it possible to select a pendant suited to the scale of the interior or to combine several diameters within a composition of luminous spheres. The Glass Globe Opal 500 weighs 6 kg.
Which finishes are available for the Glass Globe Opal 500?
The metal structure is available in Lacquered Burnished Brass (LBB), Black Gunmetal (BGM), Polished Nickel (PN), Classic Bronze and Heritage Bronze. Each finish creates a different contrast with the white opal glass, allowing the pendant to take on a warmer, more graphic or more contemporary character.
