If you are trying to find the minimum hanging height for the Nimbus Metal Pendant Light, the current product page provides part of the answer, but not the final number. It confirms that the fixture is hardwired, has a 60-inch adjustable rod length, and includes an adjustable hanging cable. It also lists the shade heights by size.

What it does not publicly list is the exact shortest installed hanging height, so the page confirms adjustability without providing a published minimum drop.
What the Nimbus product page currently confirms
Here is what is publicly available on the Nimbus product page that is relevant to hanging height:
| Spec | What the page confirms |
| Shade size 20." | 15" |
| Shade size 24" | 18" |
| Shade size 28." | 21" |
| Rod length | 60" Adjustable Length |
| Installation type | Hardwire |
| Canopy | 4.8" diameter |
| Hanging cable | Adjustable, per FAQ |
| Minimum hanging height | Not publicly listed |
The FAQ section also confirms that the Nimbus includes an adjustable hanging cable designed to let buyers find "the perfect drop length" for their ceiling height, which is useful context but still does not provide a published minimum length.
Does the page list the exact minimum hanging height?
No, the current product page does not publish an exact minimum hanging height for any of the three Nimbus sizes.
What the Nimbus page confirms is adjustability, but not the exact shortest installed hanging height. Those are two different pieces of information, and right now only one of them is publicly available.

Why is adjustable height not the same as a published minimum drop
This is the part that catches many buyers off guard, and it is worth spelling out clearly.
Knowing that a pendant has an adjustable cord tells you the drop can be changed. It does not tell you how short it can actually go. To calculate the true minimum installed hanging height, you would need at least three pieces of information:
- The minimum cord or rod length after it has been shortened as far as possible
- The canopy depth or height: the part that sits flush against the ceiling and contributes to the overall drop
- The shade height: since the shade itself adds to the total installed drop below the attachment point
The Nimbus page currently shows the shade height and canopy diameter, but not the minimum cord length or canopy depth. Without those numbers, it is not possible to calculate a confirmed minimum installed drop from the public page alone.
Attempting to estimate the minimum by adding up shade height plus a guessed cord length would produce an unreliable number, and for ceiling clearance, kitchen island height, or over-table planning, an unreliable number is worse than no number at all.
What buyers can estimate from the current public specs
While an exact minimum hanging height cannot be confirmed from the current page, the shade heights do give you a useful sense of scale:
| Size | Shade height | What this tells you |
| 20" shade | 15" | The shade body itself is 15" tall - minimum total drop will be higher than this |
| 24" shade | 18" | Shade body is 18" tall - total drop adds cord + canopy above that |
| 28" shade | 21" | The largest size - shade body alone is 21" before any hanging hardware |
This means even before accounting for the cord and canopy, the shade itself contributes meaningfully to the total installed height. For buyers working with lower ceilings or tight clearances, the shade height alone is a useful starting point for ruling out sizes that would hang too low, regardless of cord adjustment.
But for a confirmed minimum total drop, including all hardware, the product page does not currently provide enough data to close that calculation.

Final answer for buyers planning around ceiling height or clearance
If you need the minimum hanging height to plan for a specific clearance, the current Nimbus product page does not give you that number directly.
The most reliable path is to contact the Rowabi team before ordering. With your ceiling height and intended use in mind, they can confirm the shortest achievable installed drop for the size you are considering, so you can make a confident decision rather than estimate around a spec gap.
