One of the most common oversights in pendant specification is the canopy — the mounting point where cables meet ceiling and electrical connections are made. Get this wrong and you end up with an untidy junction, a mismatch in finish, or a product that simply won't work with the fixture you've chosen. The In-Lite BASE range solves this before it becomes a problem on site.
A canopy (sometimes called a ceiling rose or junction box) is the surface-mounted housing that covers the electrical backbox and supports the weight and cable of a pendant or wall fixture. For multi-pendant arrangements, the canopy needs to handle multiple cable entries cleanly — both structurally and visually. That's where choosing the right BASE variant matters.
The In-Lite BASE Pendant & Wall Canopy is a purpose-matched mounting accessory designed specifically for In-Lite's DISC WALL, DISC PENDANT, and SWAY PENDANT luminaire families, including their 100–230V versions. Manufactured in the Netherlands, In-Lite brings Dutch precision engineering to a component that's easy to overlook but critical to the finished result. The canopy features a low-profile cylindrical disc form in a matte black aluminium construction with a high-quality FCBV coating — a durable powder-coat process that ensures long-term finish consistency with the luminaires it supports.
There are three variants in the BASE family, each matched to a specific configuration. The DISC BASE is designed for the DISC WALL fixture. BASE 1 is designed for DISC PENDANT and SWAY PENDANT, and crucially includes two interchangeable heads — giving you the flexibility to configure a single, duo, or triple pendant drop from one canopy. BASE TRIPLE is the dedicated solution for hanging three pendants side by side in a fixed arrangement. The minimalist disc silhouette keeps the ceiling point clean, with no visible external fixings and a seamless profile that recedes into the background. Installation onto a hard surface is also possible using the screws provided.
Electrically, the BASE TRIPLE canopy features three integrated cable glands — knurled fittings that manually tighten to secure and strain-relieve each pendant cable — with an internal compartment that conceals wiring and connectors neatly. All BASE variants are compatible with the 100–230V versions of their respective luminaires. These are sold as accessories to pair with your chosen In-Lite fixture; select the variant that matches your pendant configuration before ordering.
At Lightsource Mallorca, we include accessories like the In-Lite BASE as part of a properly coordinated specification — not an afterthought. Choosing the right canopy at the right stage means your installation arrives complete, your installer isn't improvising on site, and the finished ceiling point looks as considered as the luminaire below it. If you're building out a DISC or SWAY pendant scheme and want to confirm which BASE variant suits your layout, we're here to help you get it right first time.
