Multi pendant Dining fixture Questions

5 years ago

I'm having a fixture created - similar to multi-wine bottle pendant lights found on this site but have collected Red (dark) bottles with etched logos or minimal obstructed (no paper labels).

There will be 14 bottle with cut bottoms hanging from a beautiful box of wood box lids.

1. Will a 2.52 diameter Edison bulb fit inside a normal Cab shaped bottle? or am I best to use a tubular style bulb?

2. Should I stay clear of the amber tinted bulbs and go for only clear to maximize the light shining down and out (since no light will likely go up and out due to the top of the bottle being blocked by the light source)?

3. Suggested wattage 40 or 60 (7 or 10) or should I go lower since there will be 14 (I know, more than I want but design-wise I don't want either side of the table to see the back of any of the bottles...some are simple/clear but most have too much writing and barcode ugliness)?

4. Is there an issue with too much wattage for the light switch?

Thanks so much!

Jill
