Compare the Bower C600 and C220 pendants by shade shape, light spread, bulb pairing, and room fit. See which size suits your dining room or compact space.
The short answer: match the shade's light throw to the room's job
The Bower Pendant Light comes in two distinct sizes: the Large C600 and the Small C220. The Large is a statement fixture with a wide diameter and a dramatically low incline that spreads light broadly below—ideal for dining rooms or open areas where you want an even wash. The Small is a compact cone with a slim profile and high incline that throws light more directly—better for tighter spaces or task-focused spots. Your choice hinges on whether you need a broad spread or a concentrated beam.
Large Bower C600: broad spread for statement spaces
- Bower Pendant Light Large in Dark Green + Oval II - RT: Bower C600 shade features a dramatically low incline and wide diameter to allow a broad spread of light below. This wide, low profile makes the Large Bower suited to dining rooms or living areas where you want to illuminate a table or seating zone evenly.

Bower Pendant Light Large in Dark Green + Oval II - RT - Bower Pendant Light Large in Dark Green + Oval II - RT: Pre-paired with an Oval II Light Bulb. The included bulb is part of the fixture's intended pairing, so you can plan your light quality around it without guessing.
Small Bower C220: compact cone for direct light
- Bower Pendant Light Small in Dark Green + Sphere III - RT: Bower C220 shade is a compact cone shape, noted for its slim profile and high incline which allows for a more direct light throw. This makes the Small Bower a better fit for narrow spaces, breakfast nooks, or areas where you want focused light rather than a broad wash.

Bower Pendant Light Small in Dark Green + Sphere III - RT - Bower Pendant Light Small in Dark Green + Sphere III - RT: Pre-paired with a Sphere III Light Bulb. The Small Bower comes with a different bulb pairing than the Large, so the light character will differ between the two sizes.
Side-by-side: what changes between the two sizes
Beyond size, the two Bower pendants differ in shade geometry and included bulb. These differences affect how light is distributed and where each works best.
- Shade shape and light spread: Large C600: wide diameter, low incline, broad spread. Small C220: compact cone, high incline, direct throw.
- Included bulb: Large comes with Oval II; Small comes with Sphere III. The bulb pairing is fixed per size in the supplied information.
- Best room fit: Large suits dining rooms, open-plan areas, or spaces needing an even glow. Small suits compact rooms, hallways, or task lighting over a counter.
- Color options: Large is available in Dark Green. Small is available in Dark Green, Oyster White, and Yellow.
Dark green pendant sizing: color and scale together
Both sizes come in Dark Green, a finish that reads as a deliberate accent. In a large room, the C600's wide shade makes the green a statement piece; in a smaller room, the C220's compact form keeps the color from overwhelming the space. If you want the green to blend rather than dominate, the Small's smaller footprint may be easier to place. For a dining room, consider the C600 if your table is the room's focal point; for a kitchen island or a narrow hallway, the C220's direct light is more practical.
Bulb pairing: what the included bulbs tell you
The Large Bower is pre-paired with the Oval II bulb, while the Small uses the Sphere III. The supplied information does not detail the beam angle or color temperature of these bulbs, so we can't compare their output directly. What we can say is that the pairing is fixed per size—you're not choosing the bulb separately. If you have a strong preference for a particular bulb shape or light quality, that may steer your size decision. Otherwise, trust that each bulb was selected to complement its shade's geometry.
Decision rules for choosing your Bower size
- Choose Large if:: You have a dining room or open area where you want a broad, even spread of light and a statement fixture. The C600's wide, low-incline shade is designed for that.
- Choose Small if:: Your space is compact, or you need more directed light—over a small table, a counter, or in a hallway. The C220's high-incline cone throws light downward more directly.
- Consider color variety:: The Small comes in three colors (Dark Green, Oyster White, Yellow), while the Large is only in Dark Green in the supplied information. If you want a lighter or brighter finish, the Small gives you more options.
- Check your ceiling height and installation:: The supplied records do not include dimensions, weight, or hanging height guidance. For safe installation, consult a qualified electrician and refer to the manufacturer's instructions for your specific model.
