A 40-inch 6-light drum pendant from Dainolite's Helena collection, finished in black fabric and polished chrome metal, ideal for kitchen islands and dining rooms.
The Helena pendant combines a large black fabric drum shade with a polished chrome canopy and accents, creating a contemporary industrial look. The white fabric/styrene diffuser softens the light from six 100W bulbs (not included), providing ambient illumination. Adjustable drop length from 19 to 50 inches accommodates various ceiling heights, and the fixture is sloped ceiling adaptable up to 10 degrees.
Best for
- Kitchen islands 6-8 ft long, centered above the counter for ambient and task lighting
- Dining rooms with tables seating 6-8, hung 30-36 inches above the tabletop
- Open-plan living areas where a large statement pendant defines the space
- Covered patios or sunrooms (damp-rated) for a touch of modern elegance
- Entryways with two-story ceilings, making a dramatic first impression
Not ideal for
- Small rooms under 10x10 ft - the 40-inch diameter may overwhelm the space
- Spaces with ceilings under 8 ft - minimum drop of 19 inches may be too low
- Areas needing direct task lighting - this fixture provides ambient light only
How bright is it?
With six 100W bulbs (not included), the fixture can produce up to 6000 lumens if using 100W equivalent LEDs - bright enough to illuminate a large kitchen or dining area. Actual brightness depends on the bulbs you choose; we recommend dimmable LED bulbs for energy efficiency and control.
Light color and feel
The white diffuser creates a soft, even ambient glow. With dimmable bulbs and a line-voltage dimmer (recommended: incandescent/halogen type), you can adjust from bright task lighting to a warm, intimate atmosphere. The black fabric shade minimizes glare while the polished chrome accents add a reflective touch.
