Lighting a long dining table or kitchen island sounds straightforward until you realise a single pendant rarely covers the brief. Too narrow and you get a pool of light that fades at either end. Too uniform and the atmosphere falls flat. Getting the balance of ambient warmth and focused clarity right is where most pendant choices come unstuck.
For a fixture at this scale, what matters most is how the light behaves across its full span — and whether the dimming setup actually works with the lamps you choose. G9 and GU10 are both common, widely available lamp types, but they respond differently to dimming. G9 lamps sit in the globe positions and produce a warm, diffused glow; GU10 lamps in the cylinder positions project a more directed beam. Dimming is handled via an external dimmer — meaning a compatible wall dimmer (not included) is required and must be selected to suit whichever LED lamps you specify.
The Lucide Josiane is a multi-light pendant designed to do exactly this: deliver layered illumination across a wide footprint. Spanning 143 cm and housing 12 light points — 7 x G9 spherical glass globes and 5 x GU10 solid black cylinders — the Josiane produces a dynamic interplay of diffuse and focused light from a single ceiling-mounted fixture. It is rated IP20, making it suitable for dry interior spaces. Suspension height is adjustable up to 200 cm prior to installation, allowing accurate placement above the surface it is meant to serve.
Visually, the Josiane is a considered piece. A wide rectangular matte black canopy anchors twelve individually suspended cables at staggered heights, producing a three-dimensional, tiered arrangement that reads as sculpture even when unlit. The seven amber-tinted glass globes — held by polished brass-tone socket covers — contrast with five slim matte black cylinders interspersed between them. The result is a fixture that works with contemporary, industrial, and warm-modern interiors without forcing the aesthetic.
The Josiane is compatible with LED light sources and is dimmable via an external dimmer (not included). No driver or transformer is required — each lamp position takes a standard G9 or GU10 LED lamp directly. Lamps are not included. IP20 rating confirms this fitting is for indoor, dry locations only. Cable length is adjustable up to 200 cm and should be set prior to final installation. Given the 143 cm width, ceiling height and beam clearance above the table should be confirmed at specification stage.
At Lightsource Mallorca, we help you get decisions like this right before anything is ordered. A fixture of this scale and lamp count deserves careful thought around dimmer compatibility, lamp selection, and ceiling height — and we can support that process whether you are specifying for a client project or planning your own space. The Josiane is the kind of piece that earns its place above a table; we make sure the technical detail earns it too.
