Washi Paper Pendant · Black Plug-In · White Mulberry Paper · Inline Switch · E26 / E27
Each shade is formed from handmade mulberry washi paper — the same paper-making tradition practiced in Japan for over a thousand years. Washi made from mulberry (kozo) fiber produces a sheet of exceptional strength and translucency: the long bast fibers create a surface with a visible, irregular texture that diffuses light into a soft, warm, and completely glareless glow. No two shades are identical — the paper carries the mark of the hand that formed it.
The fixture hangs from a black plug-in cord with a built-in inline on/off switch — 450 cm of cord that requires no hardwiring and no electrician. Seven configurations range from compact 3-head clusters to single tall pendants reaching 470 cm — designed for stairwells, double-height spaces, and atriums where a long vertical form is the architectural intention.

Bulbs are not included. Each socket is E26 (US) or E27 (international). For washi paper shades, a 6–10W LED at 2700K warm white with a frosted or opal diffuser is recommended — the soft output spreads evenly through the translucent paper without creating a visible hotspot. Avoid clear-glass or bare filament bulbs above 4W — the filament can appear as a bright point through thin washi paper.

FAQ
What is mulberry washi paper? +
Washi is handmade Japanese paper produced from the bast fibers of the kozo (mulberry) plant. The long, interlocking fibers create a sheet that is simultaneously stronger and more translucent than wood-pulp paper — it diffuses light through its surface rather than blocking it, producing a soft warm glow with visible fiber texture. Because each sheet is formed by hand, the thickness, fiber distribution, and surface pattern varies slightly between shades. This is intrinsic to the craft, not a defect.
How do I hang a plug-in pendant? +
The most common method is a ceiling hook — a small adhesive or screw-in hook mounted to the ceiling at the desired hang point. Drape the black cord over the hook, adjust the length of the drop, and plug into a nearby wall outlet. The inline on/off switch on the cord controls the light independently. No wiring is required and no holes are made in the ceiling if an adhesive hook is used. For heavy or tall configurations, a load-rated screw-in ceiling hook is recommended.
Which configuration suits my space? +
For standard ceilings (2.4–3 m): the 3-head S, M, or L versions are appropriate — choose by diameter to match your table or space. For higher ceilings (3–4 m): the 5-head (H 270 cm) or Single 220 cm create a vertically dramatic element. For double-height or atrium spaces above 4 m: the Single 340 or 470 cm versions are designed specifically to fill a tall void with a single uninterrupted washi form. Always confirm ceiling clear height before ordering a tall configuration.
How do I care for a washi paper shade? +
Washi paper is durable but should be kept dry. Avoid installing in damp areas or near sources of direct moisture. Dust gently with a dry soft brush or low-suction vacuum attachment — do not wipe with a damp cloth. Minor dents or creases can sometimes be eased by lightly humidifying the affected area with steam from a distance, then allowing to dry naturally. Keep away from direct touch as finger oils can stain over time.

Love a Hardwired Design? We'll Make It Plug-in
Found the perfect sconce or pendant in our main collection but need a version with no rewiring? Almost any Radilum fixture can be built as a plug-in cord-and-switch model — same design, same finish, ready for any outlet. Choose a custom cord below, tell us the piece and your preferred length, and we'll handle the rest.
Installed in Four Easy Steps
No breaker, no junction box, no electrician. If you can hang a picture frame, you can install a Radilum plug-in light.
Unbox
Everything is in the box: the fixture, fabric cord, inline switch, hook or wall bracket, and all the hardware.
Mount or Hang
Fix the wall bracket where you want it, or place the ceiling hook and swag the cord. A paper template makes it foolproof.
Plug In
Run the cord to any standard wall outlet. Tuck it neatly along the trim with the included clips, or let it drape as a detail.
Switch On
Flip the inline switch — or pair it with a smart plug for voice and app control — and your light is glowing.
Plug-in Questions
Everything you need to know before — and after — your plug-in light arrives.
Q1. Does it really need no wiring or electrician?
Correct — no junction box, no breaker, no electrician. Wall sconces mount with a simple included bracket; pendants hang from a discreet ceiling hook and swag across to your outlet. A paper template and all the hardware are in the box, and most installs take about five minutes.
Q2. What outlet, voltage and cord does it use?
Each light ships with the right plug for your region — US (Type A, 120V), EU (Type C, 230V) or UK (Type G, 230V) — on a standard cord of roughly 2–3 m, with longer lengths on request. Run the cord discreetly along trim with the included clips, or let a fabric or braided cord hang as part of the look. Need a specific plug or length? Tell us at checkout.
Q3. What bulb does it use, and is it dimmable?
Bulbs vary by fixture, so check the one listed on each product page. Most take a standard screw socket — E26 in North America, E27 elsewhere — while a few use other fittings. Whatever the bulb, every light is built for a warm 3000K glow and is dimmable with a compatible dimmable bulb plus an inline dimmer or smart plug.
Q4. Can I get one of your hardwired designs as a plug-in?
Almost always, yes. Tell us the model you love and your preferred cord colour and length, and we will build a plug-in cord-and-switch version — the same design and finish, ready for any outlet. Email us and we will confirm feasibility and pricing.
Q5. What about returns, warranty and support?
Every light is bench-tested before it leaves our workshop and backed by worry-free after-sales support covering the electrical components and structural integrity. If anything is wrong on arrival or in normal use, email support@radilum.com and we will make it right with a replacement, parts or refund.

Measuring for Pendant Lighting
When installing pendants and chandeliers, it’s important to consider how you want your fixtures to hang in relation to the other furnishings in your space. Read on for our recommendations on how to hang the perfect light.
Kitchen
Aim for 30–36″ from the bottom of your fixture’s shade to the top of your island or countertop. Space multiple pendants 26–30″ apart. For a sense of proportion and balance, allow 12″ from the outermost fixture to the edge of your counter.
Dining Room
For optimal lighting and visibility, the bottom of your pendant should sit 30″ from the surface of your dining table. To scale your fixture, take the length and width of the room in feet, then convert that to inches. For a 10′ by 14′ room, the chandelier should be about 24″ wide.
Bedroom
If you’re hanging a pendant above a nightstand, allow for at least 30″ between the bottom of the shade and your nightstand’s surface. To keep the look balanced, center your pendant over your nightstand.
