What to know about the Heritage Double Pendant Acorn Shade: dimensions, bulb type, ceiling height, finish options, and what's included before you buy.
Quick answer
The Heritage Double Pendant Acorn Shade is a 43.5-inch-wide fixture with two opal glass shades and a hardwood canopy, designed for damp locations and E26 bulbs up to 60W. It suits larger rooms or open spaces where a wide, classic silhouette works, but check your ceiling height and bulb choice before ordering.
Why the 43.5-inch width changes your room plan
At 43.5 inches wide, this is a substantial double pendant. It reads as a focal point rather than a subtle accent, so it needs a room with enough visual breathing room. In a dining room, that width can span most of a standard table; in a living room or open-plan area, it can anchor a seating zone. The 8-inch depth and 32.5-inch height mean it hangs with a fairly deep profile, so sightlines matter: in a low-ceiling room, the shades may sit closer to eye level than you expect.
Bulb choice affects both look and function
The fixture takes two E26 bulbs, up to 60W each, and bulbs are not included. That gives you flexibility: warm LED bulbs can soften the opal glass, while higher-output bulbs may be too bright for a small dining area. Because the shades are opal glass, they diffuse light rather than spotlight it, so the fixture is better for ambient lighting than task lighting. If you need focused light over a counter or table, plan supplemental sources.
Finish options and what the catalog shows
The catalog lists the fixture as shown in Walnut with Coated Bronze, but available option types are not supplied. That means you should confirm current finish choices with the store before ordering if a specific combination matters to your room. The hardwood canopy is a visible design element, so its tone will interact with your ceiling and surrounding woodwork. Treat the shown finish as a reference point, not a guarantee of every available option.
Common questions about the Heritage Double Pendant Acorn Shade
- What are the exact dimensions?
- The fixture measures 8 inches in depth, 43.5 inches in width, and 32.5 inches in height. Width is the critical number for planning: it determines how much horizontal space the pendant occupies over a table or in an open area. Measure your table or island width and leave at least 12 inches of clearance on each side if you want the pendant to feel proportionate.
- What bulb type does it use?
- It takes two E26 bulbs, each up to 60W, and bulbs are not included. E26 is the standard medium screw base, so you can use LED, incandescent, or other compatible bulbs within the wattage limit. Choose bulbs with a color temperature that complements the opal glass; warm white (2700Kâ3000K) is a common choice for living and dining areas.
- What ceiling height does it need?
- The catalog does not specify a minimum ceiling height, but the fixture is 32.5 inches tall. As a general rule, allow at least 7 feet of clearance from the floor to the bottom of the fixture in walk-through areas, and 30â36 inches above a table surface. In a room with an 8-foot ceiling, the pendant will hang relatively low; in a taller room, it may need additional chain or rod (check what's included). If your ceiling is below 8 feet, consider a smaller fixture or confirm the hanging height can be adjusted.
- What finish options are available?
- The catalog shows Walnut with Coated Bronze, but available option types are not supplied. Finish availability can change, so confirm current choices with Worley's Lighting before you order if you need a specific combination. Order a finish sample if you're matching existing wood tones or metal finishes.
- Is it suitable for damp locations?
- Yes, it is UL and cUL listed for damp locations. That means it can be used in areas with occasional moisture, such as covered porches or bathrooms, provided the installation follows local codes. Damp-location rating does not mean it is waterproof; avoid direct exposure to water spray.
- What is the lead time?
- The catalog lists a lead time of 2â3 weeks. This is useful for planning installations around renovations or move-in dates. Order early if your project has a fixed completion date, and confirm the lead time at the time of purchase.
