A pendant light does one thing: it puts light exactly where it is needed. Dulora pendant lights are designed to do that without the fitting competing for attention, with a minimal silhouette that works equally well as a quiet background element or as a deliberate design choice in a more pared-back space.
The Single Drop pendant is a hardwired fitting that connects to a ceiling rose or batten holder. It accepts any E27 globe, giving full control over the warmth, shape, and quality of the light. When wired through a compatible dimmer switch, it dims smoothly with most incandescent and LED dimmers. Available in matte black, matte white, and brass.
The Plug-In Dimmer Pendant connects directly to a standard 240V wall socket with no hardwiring or electrician required. An integrated dimmer on the cord allows brightness to be adjusted from full output to a low ambient level without a wall dimmer switch. Available in matte black and matte white. Suited to rental properties, rooms without a ceiling rose, and any space where plug-in flexibility matters.
Two Swag Hooks are included with the Plug-In Dimmer Pendant for repositioning the cord away from the ceiling rose; they are also available separately for use with the Single Drop.

Buying Guide
Choosing between the Single Drop and Plug-In Dimmer
The Single Drop is the hardwired option. It connects to a ceiling rose or batten holder, requires a standard electrical installation by a licensed electrician, and works with any E27 globe. Choose the Single Drop if you have a ceiling rose in the right position and want a permanent installation with the widest choice of globe. The Plug-In Dimmer connects to a standard wall socket: no hardwiring, no electrician, no ceiling rose required. It has an integrated dimmer on the cord, so brightness can be adjusted without a wall dimmer switch. Choose the Plug-In if you are renting, if the ceiling rose is not directly above where you want the light, or if you want the flexibility to reposition the pendant without rewiring.
Which finish suits my space?
Matte black gives the pendant a strong visual presence: it reads clearly against white or light-coloured ceilings and works in contemporary, industrial, and minimal interiors. Matte white takes a quieter approach: it recedes against a white ceiling and lets the globe become the focal point, which suits spaces where the quality of the light matters more than the visible fitting. Brass introduces warmth and material character, pairing well with timber joinery, natural stone, and warm-toned textiles. Brass is available in the Single Drop only. For help choosing the right pendant for every room, see Pendant Light Guide: How to Choose the Right One for Your Home.
Which globe suits a pendant light?
Dulora pendant lights use an E27 socket, the standard large Edison screw base found across most globe shapes and colour temperatures in the Dulora range. An Edison ST64 filament globe in extra warm 2200K is a natural pairing for an exposed-cord pendant: the visible filament suits the single-drop aesthetic and the warmth works well with both brass and matte black finishes. A GLS or G95 globe in 2700K gives a cleaner, more diffuse light for spaces where ambient spread is the priority. A candle or fancy round globe keeps the profile compact for lower ceilings or tighter installations. Browse the Dulora bulb collections for the full range of compatible E27 options.
Can pendant lights be dimmed?
Both pendant styles in this collection are dimmable, but in different ways. The Single Drop dims via a compatible wall dimmer switch: it works with most incandescent and LED dimmers, and all Dulora dimmers are trailing-edge. The Plug-In Dimmer has an integrated dimmer on the cord, so no wall dimmer is needed. Dimming is smooth and flicker-free on a compatible dimmer. If you are using the Single Drop, confirm your chosen wall dimmer is compatible with the globe before purchasing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Pendant Lights
- Do pendant lights require an electrician to install?
- The Single Drop pendant is a hardwired fitting that requires installation by a licensed electrician in Australia. The Plug-In Dimmer Pendant does not require an electrician; it connects directly to a standard 240V wall socket.
- What globe base do these pendant lights use?
- All pendant lights in this collection use an E27 (Edison screw) socket. This is the standard large screw base found across most pendant globe shapes. Browse the Dulora bulb range for compatible E27 options in a variety of shapes and colour temperatures.
- Is the Swag Hook included with the pendant?
- Yes, two Swag Hooks are included with the Plug-In Dimmer Pendant. They are not included with the Single Drop and are available separately. The Swag Hook allows the pendant cord to be redirected from the ceiling rose to a different ceiling point, which is useful when the ceiling rose is not directly above the desired hanging position.
- What cord length is available?
- Check the product page for the exact cord length of each model. The Single Drop cord can be adjusted at the ceiling rose during installation; the Plug-In Dimmer cord length is fixed.
