Each fin houses an integrated LED array that washes light along the face of the fin in pure, diffuse uplight and downlight, producing the characteristically indirect glow that defines the Bau aesthetic. The form reads as both industrial and refined: clean geometric repetition borrowed directly from Bauhaus compositional principles, but executed with a precision and material quality that elevates it well beyond utilitarian origins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 84.5 watts and 2,886 delivered lumens at 3000K with a 90 CRI, the Bau 36 produces warm, high-fidelity ambient light suited to large residential and commercial spaces. The fixture runs on universal 120–277V and dims via ELV or TRIAC-compatible dimmers, making it equally at home in a custom residence or a hospitality setting. Installation includes two 6-inch and four 12-inch rigid stems in a coordinating finish, allowing ceiling-height adjustment. The Bau 36 is rated for damp locations and can be installed on sloped ceilings up to 20 degrees. Junction boxes must support a minimum of 150 pounds given the fixture's scale and weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in Nightshade Black and Natural Brass — the latter a living finish that will develop a rich, deepening patina over time — the Bau 36 works best as a singular focal point in a volume space: a double-height foyer, a large open-plan kitchen and living area, a hotel lobby, or a commercial dining room. For spaces that require multiple pendants, space each fixture a minimum of 30 inches apart. Pair with the Bau Linear Suspension or Bau bath bar collection for a cohesive, collection-driven interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sean Lavin | \u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Visual Comfort \u0026amp; Co. — Modern Collection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight Source:\u003c\/strong\u003e Integrated LED — 84.5W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLumens:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2,886 lm (delivered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3000K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCRI:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36\" diameter × 36\" H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120–277V universal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimming:\u003c\/strong\u003e ELV \/ TRIAC compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlope Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 20°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocation Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Damp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum (stamped fins)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinishes \u0026amp; SKUs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNightshade Black — MD-VCC-700TDBAU36B-LED930\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNatural Brass — MD-VCC-700TDBAU36NB-LED930\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What size room is the Bau 36 Pendant best suited for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: With a 36-inch diameter and 2,886 lumens, the Bau 36 works best as a focal pendant in larger spaces — dining rooms, foyers, or kitchen areas in the 200–400 square foot range. For smaller rooms, the Bau 28 Pendant offers the same aesthetic at a more intimate scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will the Natural Brass finish change over time?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yes — Natural Brass is a living finish that will naturally patina and warm with age, adding depth and richness to the material. If the patina becomes uneven, a standard brass cleaner can restore the original appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the Bau 36 dimmable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yes. The Bau 36 is compatible with most LED-rated ELV and TRIAC dimmers. Check your existing dimmer's compatibility with 84.5W LED loads before installation, or consult your electrician for a recommended dimmer model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can the Bau 36 be installed on a sloped or vaulted ceiling?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yes — the Bau 36 is slope-rated up to 20 degrees. The included rigid stems (two 6-inch, four 12-inch) allow for drop adjustment. For slopes beyond 20 degrees, a sloped-ceiling canopy adapter may be required; consult your installer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Visual Comfort \u0026 Co.","offers":[{"title":"Nightshade Black","offer_id":47943445840086,"sku":"MD-VCC-700TDBAU36B-LED930","price":4399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Natural Brass","offer_id":47943445872854,"sku":"MD-VCC-700TDBAU36NB-LED930","price":7499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/1264\/8406\/files\/Bau-36-Pendant-02.jpg?v=1773682533","url":"https:\/\/metropolitandecor.com\/products\/bauhaus-pendant-light-36-inch-by-visual-comfort-co","provider":"MetropolitanDecor.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
