Besa Coco 12 Hand-Blown Glass Globe Pendant, Cord Hung

A classic hand-blown glass globe, 11.75 inches across, that suits almost any room: choose Opal Matte or Carrera glass, three finishes, and LED or incandescent lamping.

• ✓ Hand-blown glass
• ✓ Damp rated
• ✓ UL or ETL listed
• ✓ Dimmable
• ✓ LED option, 30,000 hr
• ✓ Sloped-ceiling ready

The Coco 12 is Besa Lighting’s mid-size globe pendant: a single sphere of hand-blown glass on a slim 10-foot cord, with a flat canopy that sits close to the ceiling. Opal Matte is a soft white cased glass with a calm, even glow; Carrera is made by rolling molten glass in fine white frit, which gives an alabaster-like pattern and a softly mottled light. In both, the outer layer is etched to a smooth satin finish.

Order it with a 9W dimmable LED source included (800 lumens, 3000K, CRI 90+) or as a standard 60W A19 medium-base fixture and choose your own bulb. It is damp rated for indoor use, so a bathroom is as fine as a kitchen island; it is not made for porches or other outdoor spaces.

Who this is not for

• Anyone who needs a strong downlight for task work: the globe spreads soft light all around rather than aiming it.
• Very high ceilings that need more than the 10 ft standard cord.
• Anyone expecting every shade to be identical: each glass is handmade, so pattern and size vary slightly.

Why we carry it

We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and the Coco is one of the most dependable glass globes we carry: the glass is genuinely hand-blown, the lamping is flexible, and the 12-inch size fits more rooms than any other. Besa Lighting pairs American design with European glass artisanship: its shades are hand-blown by skilled artisans using techniques passed down for generations, then hand-inspected at Besa’s factory in Ohio for color, pattern, thickness and size before they ship.

Buy once: durability and care

With the power off and the glass cool, wipe the globe with a soft cloth and a little glass cleaner sprayed on the cloth, not on the fixture; dust the metal with a dry microfiber cloth (our advice). The LED version uses a replaceable source, so the fixture is not retired when the LED eventually dims. Have a licensed electrician install it.

Frequently asked questions

How big is the Besa Coco 12 pendant?

The glass globe is 11.75" in diameter and 11.5" high. Because each shade is hand-blown, allow for slight variation.

What is the difference between Opal Matte and Carrera glass on the Coco 12?

Opal Matte is a soft white cased glass with a smooth, even glow. Carrera is made by rolling molten glass in white frit, which gives an alabaster-like, softly mottled look. Both have a satin-etched outer layer.

Should I choose the LED or the incandescent Coco 12?

The LED version comes with a 9W dimmable source (800 lumens, 3000K, CRI 90+, rated 30,000 hours). The incandescent version takes one 60W A19 medium-base bulb, not included, so you can choose your own.

Can the Coco 12 go in a bathroom?

Yes. Besa rates it for damp locations, interior use only, so bathrooms and laundry rooms are fine; it is not for porches or other outdoor spaces.

Will the Coco 12 work on a sloped ceiling?

Yes. It installs directly to a 4" octagonal or round ceiling box and is suitable for sloped ceilings.

How many Coco 12 pendants do I need over a kitchen island?

Two over an island up to about 6 ft, three over a longer one, spaced roughly 24–30" apart (our advice).
