Paper stretched over a metal frame turns the bulb into a milky halo that recalls Japanese lanterns. It is a shade, shipped flat, to fit on a pendant cord set. Light as air, it suits bedrooms, living rooms and Japandi interiors, and anyone who wants calm, soothing light every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign \u0026amp; materials of a Japanese paper pendant light\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaper is the simplest and gentlest material for filtering light. Stretched over a metal frame, it forms a regular ball that sends light in every direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is the principle of the Japanese paper lantern pendant light: the bulb disappears and only a glowing sphere remains, like a moon resting in the room. The white paper pairs with light wood, linen, stone and tatami. This paper ball pendant light is all about restraint: no ornament, just a pure shape. Its visual lightness lets you hang it in a small room without weighing it down, or group several at different heights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSize \u0026amp; installation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shade is 16 in (40 cm) in diameter. It ships flat in a 15 × 15 × 0.4 in (39 × 38 × 1 cm) box and weighs 2.4 oz (68 g) with its packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGently unfold the ball and fit the frame inside to stretch the paper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount it on a pendant cord set with a socket, chosen to suit your ceiling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver a table, hang the sphere 28 to 31 in (70 to 80 cm) above the top; in a hallway, keep at least 6.5 ft (2 m) of headroom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSwitch off the power before handling the cord.

Go for an LED bulb: it runs cool, which is essential next to paper. Keep the bulb centered in the sphere, away from the sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor enveloping light, aim for 2700 K, a warm white. An opal globe bulb strengthens the moon effect, with no bright spot showing through the paper. Moderate wattage is enough: the ball diffuses widely and lights a medium-size room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere to hang a paper lantern pendant light\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a bedroom, hang it in the center of the ceiling for soft light, or off-center and lower above a nightstand, like a lamp. In a living room, group three round paper pendant lights of similar sizes at different heights over a coffee table or a reading corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a dining room, a 16 in (40 cm) paper lantern pendant dresses a round table 31 to 39 in (80 to 100 cm) across. Pair it with a light wood bench and matte ceramics.
