Hula 8 is Besa Lighting’s transitional banded pendant: a European glass shade divided by a center radiused band, Black, Gold or Silver, between an upper and a lower section of transparent glass. The band semi-conceals the light source while the clear glass gives a peripheral shimmer. Besa drew on today’s farmhouse trends, but the look merges easily into almost any style. The shade is 8 inches across and 7.75 inches high.

This is the cord-hung version with a flat canopy, in satin nickel, bronze or black. Choose the LED Filament version with an 8W replaceable, dimmable filament lamp included (800 lumens, 3000K, CRI 80+, rated 25,000 hours) or the incandescent version for a 60W A19 bulb.

Why we carry it

We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and Hula 8 bridges farmhouse and modern better than almost any pendant we stock, and the band color makes it easy to match hardware. 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 with a soft cloth lightly misted with glass cleaner (spray the cloth, not the fixture); dust the metal dry (our advice). The filament lamp is replaceable. Installation by a licensed electrician is recommended.

Frequently asked questions
