Product Information
Full details
The Graypants Drum Pendant Light is designed for individuals and businesses seeking unique, sustainable lighting solutions. Its key benefit is the warm, diffused ambient light created by its handcrafted, recycled cardboard construction. A potential caveat is that its material requires gentle handling and specific care. This pendant light transforms recycled cardboard into a sculptural lighting element, featuring a drum shape that provides an architectural presence suitable for modern homes and hospitality settings. Its layered cardboard construction softens illumination, creating an intimate atmosphere, while laser-cut details reveal distinctive darkened edges and the natural corrugated structure.

FAQs
What type of light bulb should I use?
The Graypants Drum Pendant Light requires a compatible bulb. It is recommended to use an LED bulb for energy efficiency and to minimize heat, which is best for the cardboard material. Check the fixture's specifications for maximum wattage.
Is the cardboard treated for safety?
Yes, each pendant is treated with a non-toxic fire retardant for safety and durability.
Can this light be used outdoors?
No, this pendant light is designed for indoor use only. The cardboard material is not weather-resistant.
How is the light different from other pendant lights?
Its distinctiveness comes from being handcrafted from recycled cardboard, offering a unique texture, warm diffused light, and an eco-conscious design that differs from mass-produced metal or glass fixtures.
What does 'Scraplights' collection mean?
Scraplights is Graypants' signature collection that reimagines everyday materials, like recycled cardboard, into sculptural lighting pieces.
Are there variations in color or texture?
Due to the handcrafted nature and use of recycled materials, slight variations in color and texture are expected and contribute to the unique character of each pendant.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on
Ensure the power supply is on and the bulb is correctly screwed in. Check the circuit breaker. Verify wiring connections are secure (consult an electrician if unsure).
Uneven light diffusion
This is a characteristic of the handcrafted material; slight variations are normal. Ensure the bulb wattage is appropriate and not exceeding the recommended limit, which could cause overheating and unevenness.
Cardboard appears to be softening or warping
The fixture may be exposed to excessive moisture or humidity. Immediately move the fixture to a dry environment and allow it to air out. Avoid placement in bathrooms or kitchens where steam is present.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Unique, artistic design crafted from recycled materials.
- Creates a warm, ambient, and softly diffused light.
- Sustainable and eco-friendly product.
- Handcrafted quality with distinctive details.
- Versatile for various interior design applications.
Cons
- Cardboard material requires careful handling and is not suitable for damp environments.

- Light output may be lower than traditional manufactured fixtures, requiring supplementary lighting in some settings.
- Handcrafted nature means slight variations may occur between units.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician. Ensure the ceiling support is adequate for the fixture's weight. Connect the pendant to your existing lighting circuit according to local electrical codes.
Compatibility: Compatible with standard ceiling light fixtures and wiring. The fixture requires a compatible bulb (not included) suitable for pendant lights. Check local regulations for any specific electrical requirements.
Care: To clean, gently dust with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster. Avoid using water, harsh chemicals, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the cardboard material. Keep away from direct moisture and high humidity environments. The non-toxic fire retardant treatment enhances durability but does not make the material fireproof.
