Hinkley Gentry 6 Light Large Pendant

Choosing a statement pendant for a double-height space or grand dining room often comes down to one overlooked detail: drop length. Too short and the fixture floats awkwardly; too long and it dominates. Getting this right before installation matters, because adjusting a heavy chain pendant on site is not a five-minute job.

For lantern-style pendants like this one, the key decisions are drop range, lamp type, and dimming compatibility. The fixture uses E14 candle-base lamps — a smaller Edison screw fitting common in candelabra and chandelier designs — which gives you a wide choice of dimmable LED options. Dimming works at the lamp level here, so the dimmer switch must be rated for LED loads and matched to whichever lamp you choose.

The Hinkley Gentry 6 Light Large Pendant is a traditional lantern-style chandelier pendant from Hinkley's Gentry range. Six candle-style arms sit inside a cylindrical frame of curved, clear seeded glass panels — glass that carries a subtle bubble texture, adding depth and a warm vintage quality to the light it diffuses. Four slender arched arms converge at the top to a suspension loop, and the fitting hangs on a metal chain from a circular ceiling canopy. Overall height is 637 mm with a diameter of 354 mm.

The design sits confidently in the transitional space between traditional and contemporary — dark metal frame, white candle sleeves, and coordinating candle chasers. It is available in Pewter or Polished Brass, allowing it to anchor either a cooler, muted palette or a warmer, more classical scheme.

Six E14 candle lamps are required and not included. Hinkley recommends the Litec E14 Candle LED in clear glass, 4 W, 400 lm, at 3000 K (warm white), dimmable — a sensible starting point that we can source alongside the fitting. The chain supplied is approximately 3048 mm, and the adjustable drop runs from 738 mm to 3786 mm, making it suitable for standard and tall ceiling heights alike. There is no integrated driver; dimming is managed through the lamp and a compatible LED dimmer switch.

At Lightsource Mallorca, we treat a pendant specification as a complete decision — fixture, lamp, dimmer, and drop height — not four separate purchases. The Gentry is a well-resolved design from an established American manufacturer with a broad decorative range, which means coordinating wall lights or smaller pendants is straightforward. We can help confirm drop height for your ceiling, identify a compatible dimmer, and source the recommended lamp so everything arrives together and install-ready.
