Skyball IP44 Pendant

Polyethylene 

Care Requirement - Sensitive to sunlight and harsh 

Cleaning Guide - Polyethylene surfaces should be cleaned monthly to maintain their appearance and prevent build-up from outdoor exposure. Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and debris. For stains, use the same method, ensuring you test on a small, inconspicuous area first to confirm compatibility. Avoid harsh cleaning products or abrasive materials, as these may damage the surface over time. 

Placement Guide - Polyethylene products can be placed in areas with medium to high sunlight exposure, including both direct and indirect light, as they are often UV-treated for outdoor use and designed to withstand sun exposure. These materials have a high tolerance to saltwater environments, making them suitable for coastal or outdoor settings. Polyethylene also performs well in high humidity conditions and can tolerate moderate proximity to heat sources, though excessive heat should still be avoided. If exposed to consistent, heavy sunlight, it is recommended to reposition items every 6 months to promote even wear and maintain the appearance of the material over time. 

Deep Cleaning Guide - Polyethylene products should be deep cleaned every 6–12 months to maintain their appearance and performance. Use mild dish soap with warm water and a soft cloth to gently clean the surface. For heavier dirt build-up, a soft brush can be used to lightly scrub, taking care not to apply excessive pressure. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals such as bleach, ammonia or solvent-based cleaners, as well as abrasive materials like steel wool, which can damage the surface. Refrain from harsh scrubbing or forceful cleaning, and do not expose polyethylene to solvents, oils or petroleum-based products, as these may compromise the material over time. 

What sizes are available for the Skyball pendant? The Skyball pendant is available in multiple sizes (200mm, 300mm, 500mm, and 800mm), making it easy to tailor the scale to your space. Smaller sizes work well for bedside or kitchen applications, while larger diameters create a bold, statement feature. 

Can the Skyball pendant be installed as a cluster? Yes — the Skyball is designed to be used individually or grouped. Mixing different sizes in a cluster creates a layered, sculptural effect, making it ideal for voids, stairwells, or above dining tables where you want to create visual impact. 

What type of globe does the Skyball pendant use? The Skyball pendant uses an E27 globe, giving you flexibility to select your preferred brightness and colour temperature. This allows you to customise the light output to suit both ambient and task lighting needs.  

Is the Skyball pendant suitable for bathrooms, and how should it be positioned? Yes — with an IP44 rating, the Skyball pendant is suitable for bathroom use when installed in appropriate zones (outside direct water exposure). It’s ideal for positioning beside mirrors or above vanities, where it provides soft, diffused illumination while maintaining a clean, architectural look. When specifying globes, consider warm LED options to enhance ambience and minimise glare in reflective spaces.
