This is the cord-hung Besa Lighting Glide, a 12-volt mini pendant with a diminutive cement-based tube. Glide is a diminutive tubular mini pendant with a cement-based shade that hides a focused light source for task lighting. It is made from natural elements, with an industrial look. The shade comes in Natural, Tan or White, and the pendant is LED only. The shade measures 2 inches across and 4 inches high. It hangs on a 10-foot field-adjustable coaxial cord with a Teflon jacket in a tint that matches the finish, under a flat canopy; you trim the cord to your drop at installation, and the canopy installs to a standard 4-inch octagonal box and suits sloped ceilings.

Choose Natural, Tan or White. It runs on 12 volts with a 60-watt transformer included, and dimming needs an ELV dimmer (not included). It is an LED-only fixture: a 3W replaceable dimmable source is included. Our photos show the Satin Nickel finish; the other finishes share the same shade.

Best for

Kitchens, dining rooms, bedsides, entries and reading nooks where each pendant should hang at its own height. The Glide itself suits bars, narrow counters and bedsides where a slim concrete tube should aim a small pool of light.

Who this is not for

• Bathrooms, showers, covered porches and patios: Besa rates the Glide for dry interior locations only.
• Anyone who wants a rigid, perfectly vertical drop: a cord hangs and swings freely.
• Anyone with a standard wall dimmer who expects smooth dimming: the Glide needs an ELV dimmer.
• Anyone who needs a perfectly uniform finish: concrete varies in tone from shade to shade.

Why we carry it

We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and the cord Glide is the most flexible way to hang it: you trim each drop on site, so every pendant in a run can be set to its exact height. 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 fixture cool, dust the shade, cord and canopy with a dry, soft cloth, and avoid soaking natural or metal surfaces (our advice). Installation by a licensed electrician is recommended.
