When beloved British lighting brand Pookylaunched in the U.S. last year, we couldn't get enough of its wallet-friendly fixtures—and neither could you. The cordless lamps were a hit among Domino editors and readers alike, and our home editor Lydia scooped up therechargeable sconcesas soon as they debuted.
Every so often, Pooky quietly drops another clever product, and this time it's a brilliantrechargeable pendant. Customizable down to the wire it hangs from, these lights are equipped with a rechargeable, remote-controlled Genesis cell that can hang wherever you'd like, with no electrician or electrical wiring required.
Here's how the process goes. First, you pick from one of four ceiling fittings, ranging from classic and simple to more ornate. Then, you choose a finish; there's chrome, antique brass, antique silver, and bronze. Then, it's all about the lampshade size. Go with a smaller option (4.7 to 12 inches) and you get to peruse 28 different styles spanning opaline glass to ruched leopard print. In the larger version (14 to 16 inches), you have 41 looks to consider, like cream with coral tape or colorful Ikat. Finally, pick a fabric-covered cord from 10 different hues.
Once it's time to install, just affix the base and cord kit to the ceiling, pop on the lampshade, and connect the lightbulb—easy-peasy. You can adjust the cord length up to nearly 80 inches, and theGenesis cellsmagnetically attach to the pendant kit. They emit light comparable to a 40-watt incandescent bulb, are dimmable, and should last up to 17 hours, too. The brand sells the bulbs on their own so you aren't always scrambling on top of your dining table to swap one out; just keep a reserve or two handy for quick changes. How's that for the ultimate renter hack?
