{"product_id":"akova-13-inch-globe-pendant-light-fixture-by-visual-comfort-co","title":"Visual Comfort Akova 13 Globe Pendant | Acrylic Globe | Brass \u0026 Black Finishes","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Akova Grande Pendant by Visual Comfort Modern is a bold, 13-inch globe pendant that makes its presence felt with scale, material contrast, and a design confidence that belies its relatively accessible price point. Conceived in the Matte Black\/Aged Brass or Aged Brass\/Bright Brass finish combinations, the Akova's oversized acrylic sphere — illuminated from within with a warm, diffused glow — is anchored by a precision-machined brass canopy and cord assembly that gives the fixture its architectural anchor. The result is a pendant that reads as genuinely large and intentional without the scale or cost of bespoke custom lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable for standard E26 medium base bulbs (LED included or not included as selected), the Akova Grande offers full compatibility with dimmable LED technology and accepts a medium-base A19 LED bulb for the most flexible, replaceable light source in the catalog. Its 13-inch diameter hits the sweet spot between accent pendant and statement pendant — substantial enough to anchor a kitchen island or dining table solo, light enough to cluster three or four for a more dramatic installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy It Works in Your Space\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Akova's oversized clear acrylic globe creates a soft, omnidirectional diffusion of light — warm, flattering, and glare-free. Hang one above a kitchen island for clean task lighting with visual impact; cluster three above a dining table for a layered, modern pendant grouping; use a pair in an entryway flanking a console for a composed, hotel-quality moment. The Matte Black\/Aged Brass colorway is the more modern and graphic choice; the Aged Brass\/Bright Brass version is warmer and more transitional, comfortable in both contemporary and more traditional interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Visual Comfort Modern (Tech Lighting) | \u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Visual Comfort \u0026amp; Co.

The Akova 18 (Ø 18\") is a larger, more commanding piece that makes a stronger solo statement in larger rooms. Both use the same acrylic globe construction and finish options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the LED bulb included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: It depends on the variant selected. The \"LED\" variant includes an A19 LED 90 CRI 2700K 120V bulb. The \"No Lamp\" variant ships without a bulb — suitable if you're sourcing your own preferred LED bulb separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I use the Akova 13 on a dimmer?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yes — when used with a compatible dimmable LED A19 bulb and a trailing-edge dimmer switch installed by a licensed electrician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I group multiple Akova 13 pendants together?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yes — the Akova 13 is frequently clustered in groups of 2–4 above a long dining table or kitchen island. Contact your electrician about multi-pendant canopy options if required.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Visual Comfort \u0026 Co.","offers":[{"title":"Matte Black\/Aged Brass \/ No Lamp","offer_id":47943450132694,"sku":"MD-VCC-700TDAKV13BR","price":899.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Matte Black\/Aged Brass \/ Medium base LED","offer_id":47943450165462,"sku":"MD-VCC-700TDAKV13BR-LED927","price":919.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Aged Brass\/Bright Brass \/ No Lamp","offer_id":47943450198230,"sku":"MD-VCC-700TDAKV13RBR","price":1099.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Aged Brass\/Bright Brass \/ Medium base LED","offer_id":47943450230998,"sku":"MD-VCC-700TDAKV13RBR-LED927","price":1119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/1264\/8406\/files\/Akova-Grande-Pendant-01.jpg?v=1773682573","url":"https:\/\/metropolitandecor.com\/products\/akova-13-inch-globe-pendant-light-fixture-by-visual-comfort-co","provider":"MetropolitanDecor.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
