Coco 8 is the compact member of Besa Lighting’s Coco family, about two-thirds the width of the Coco 12. It keeps the same idea, a single hand-blown sphere on a slim 10-foot cord with a flat canopy, at a scale that suits a short island, a powder room or a nightstand where a lamp would crowd the surface.

Pick Opal Matte, a soft white cased glass that hides the bulb completely, or Carrera, which is rolled in white frit for a gentle alabaster pattern. Order the LED version with its 9W dimmable source included (800 lumens, 3000K, CRI 90+), or the incandescent version for a 60W A19 bulb of your choice.

Best for

Short kitchen islands and peninsulas, pairs beside a bed, powder rooms, small entries, reading corners and clusters at staggered heights. Related: Coco 12 globe pendant.

Who this is not for

• Large dining tables or open-plan rooms that need one big statement: the Coco 12 or a group of Coco 8s suits those better.
• Anyone wanting a focused task beam: the globe glows all around.
• Anyone expecting identical shades: 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 8 is the size we suggest most for grouping: three over an island read as a light, airy line rather than a heavy row of fixtures. 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

Turn off the power and let the glass cool, then wipe it with a soft cloth lightly misted with glass cleaner (spray the cloth, not the fixture); a dry microfiber cloth is enough for the metal (our advice). The LED version uses a replaceable source. Installation by a licensed electrician is recommended.

Frequently asked questions

How big is the Besa Coco 8 pendant?

The glass globe is 7.875" in diameter and 7.5" high. Each shade is hand-blown, so expect slight variation.

Is the Coco 8 bright enough to light a kitchen island?

With the LED version, each pendant gives 800 lumens of warm 3000K light; two or three over an island provide even, glare-free light.

Does the Coco 8 come with a bulb?

The LED version includes its 9W dimmable LED source. The incandescent version takes one 60W A19 medium-base bulb, sold separately.

Can the Coco 8 be used in a bathroom?

Yes. Besa rates the Coco for damp locations, interior use only, so bathrooms are suitable; it is not for outdoor spaces.

How long is the cord on the Coco 8?

It ships with a 10 ft SVT cord with a decorative sleeve at the socket, and installs to a standard 4" octagonal or round box, including on sloped ceilings.

Should I choose Coco 8 or Coco 12?

Choose Coco 8 for clusters, short islands, bedsides and small rooms; choose Coco 12 when one or two globes need to fill a larger table or room.
