Die-Cast Aluminum · Caged Glass · Industrial Bulkhead
An industrial pendant in the language of mid-20th-century maritime and factory lighting — a die-cast aluminum bulkhead head with cast junction-box detailing, a wide overhanging brim, and a protective wire cage guarding a clear glass dome below. The proportion is honest and utilitarian, scaled down from the original ship-deck and warehouse fixtures it draws from.
Light passes through clear glass and breaks across the cage bars, throwing a soft striped pattern on walls and counters. Available in six silhouettes (Model A through F) in two finishes — Silver brushed aluminum and Matte Black. Suited to kitchen islands, breakfast nooks, mudrooms, and commercial bars or cafés where industrial character is wanted.

Matte Black

FAQ
How do I choose between Model A through F? +
Models A and B have wider brims and shorter, fuller domes — better for larger kitchen islands and counter areas. Models C and D are narrow and elongated — best for tighter spots, mudroom alcoves, or hung in clusters. Models E and F are larger statement scales — Model E (∅ 15.7″) is the widest, suited to commercial bars or oversized residential islands.
Is the Bulkhead pendant dimmable? +
Yes, with the right bulb. The fixture takes a single E26 (US) or E27 (EU) screw-base bulb. Install a dimmable LED bulb on a TRIAC wall dimmer and the pendant dims smoothly. Vintage-style Edison filament LEDs work especially well with the industrial look.
Can I use it outdoors or under a covered porch? +
The Bulkhead is rated for indoor use only. While it draws on maritime bulkhead heritage, this version is built for residential and commercial interiors — not for direct outdoor exposure or wet zones. For covered-porch or damp-rated installations, please contact us.
How many should I hang above a kitchen island? +
For islands under 5 ft, a single Model B or F works well. For 5–7 ft islands, two pendants spaced 24–30″ apart. For 7 ft+ islands, three pendants in Model A, C, or D scale. Hang the bottom of the dome 30–36″ above the counter.
What bulb works best with the cage and clear glass? +
Vintage-style Edison LED filament bulbs (ST64, A19, or G80 shape) flatter the industrial cage silhouette — the visible filament reads as part of the design. For a brighter, cleaner look, use a frosted A19 LED in warm white 2700K–3000K.

The iron story
Honest iron, built to last
Industrial pieces start as steel and iron cut from the drawing, welded, then powder-coated or hand-patinated. The weight you feel is the point — mass reads as quality — and the finish is a living surface, not a coating, so it wears in rather than out.
Mechanical Romance.
Architectural footnotes for the contemporary interior — steel, brass, iron, and the honest marks of the hands that shaped them.
02 — Material
03 — Craft
04 — In Context
From Factory Floor
to Gallery Wall.
The workshops of the early twentieth century were the most honest classrooms industrial design ever had. We take our sense of order from the Bauhaus, our raw material from the foundries of Manchester, and apply contemporary proportion so the result belongs in rooms that reward close attention.
Every fixture we make refuses to hide its structure — visible rivets, exposed cable sheathing, hand-laid joinery. What once belonged on the factory floor now reads as architecture within the room.

- 02 — AestheticTimeworn Patina. Temporal depth for modern interiors.
- 03 — MaterialRaw Metal. No cosmetics, no mirror polish.
- 04 — AssemblyExposed Joinery. Connections become the ornament.

The weight you feel in your hand is the most honest language of quality — we refuse plastic, refuse thin walls, refuse lightness for its own sake.— Radilum Material Principle N°01
Molten Form
Sand casting runs alongside lost-wax at 1,450°C, leaving each iron piece with the honest mark of its gate.
Hand Welded
TIG welds laid by hand, visible by design. Every welder signs the work with a numbered stamp — traceable back to the piece.
Slow Finish
Hand-polished, aged and waxed across nine stages. We do not chase mirrors — we chase the right matte.
Burn-In Test
A 72-hour electrical burn-in before every fixture leaves the floor.
Modern Farmhouse
A measured dose of grit for soft white interiors — morning light catches on every metal edge.
Minimal Loft
In open-plan rooms it reads less like décor and more like structure — a set of suspended architectural coordinates.
Country Heritage
Lives easily beside reclaimed timber and worn leather — time speaking clearly across different materials.
Measuring for pendant lighting
When installing pendants and chandeliers, consider how you want the fixture to hang in relation to the other furnishings in your space.

Pieces that live well with the Bulkhead
From the same Vintage Industrial line — chosen so the room reads as one.
Such a cool shape, especially from underneath.
This is perfect for dining table. It looks exactly like the picture online. Love it!
Ours is in the mudroom, and the industrial shape fits the space really well.
This hangs over our breakfast nook and feels just right for the smaller table.
We placed two above our home bar, and they give the area a warm, relaxed glow.
The cast aluminum body feels solid, and the little raised details around the top are nicely done. It looks more substantial than a basic metal shade.
We used the taller black version in our entryway, and the narrow profile fits the space well.
Got another for the home office. The industrial vibe is perfect, cage detail really stands out.
As someone who pays attention to details, I have high standards for the wiring and connections of the lamp head. This lamp completely met my standards; every connection is perfectly fitted.
I thought the quality might be compromised, but when I received the goods, I found there was absolutely no difference, and the details were even better. This online purchase was truly money-saving and hassle-free!
To be honest, I saw similar lamps in physical stores for thousands of yuan, but I saved more than half by buying from this store.
The seller's service attitude was excellent; they responded to my questions instantly and gave very helpful suggestions. A perfect shopping experience!
All the installation accessories were included, and a professional installed it in just one hour.
The logistics were very fast, and the packaging was incredibly secure, like a "mummy," so there was absolutely no need to worry about damage, haha!
Looking at it makes me feel like life is full of vitality; I truly love this purchase.
I was initially worried that my ceiling height wasn't enough and a pendant lamp would feel oppressive, but this design is very elegant, and the height is easily adjustable.
Even without the main light on, just this pendant lamp makes the home feel layered and bright and cozy at night.
I was worried that a pendant lamp would look too cluttered, but this one doesn't at all. The simple lines make it look like a piece of art hanging there.
The paint finish has a very high-quality feel; the workmanship is excellent for this price.
Both the on and off states of the lamp look great, but at night, turning it on helps me relax. The lighting is excellent.
Friends who visit my home all praise how well I chose this pendant lamp!
The light is evenly distributed and doesn't flicker.
This pendant lamp makes even eating dinner feel more atmospheric, giving the home a warm and inviting feel.
The biggest fear when decorating is buying something that looks completely different from the pictures, but this lamp truly didn't disappoint. The customer service representative was incredibly patient and helped me confirm the installation height. After installation, it was exactly the effect I wanted, becoming the perfect finishing touch to my home decor.
