Besa Kiba Bubble Glass 12V LED Mini Pendant

A 3.5-inch bell of bubble-filled glass with a concealed 3W LED, the smallest pendant in this Besa group, transformer included.

• ✓ Bubble glass
• ✓ 5 glass colors
• ✓ Tiny 3.5" shade
• ✓ LED included
• ✓ Transformer included
• ✓ UL or ETL listed

Kiba is a tiny transitional bell of handcrafted glass, 3.5 inches across and 4.5 inches high, with bubbles blown randomly through the glass. Besa hides the LED source at the top opening of the shade, so you see sparkle in the bubbles rather than a bulb.

This is the 12V low-voltage version with a flat canopy. Each pendant comes with its own 60W dimmable electronic transformer that fits partly inside the ceiling box, so nothing extra has to be mounted elsewhere. It hangs from a 10-foot field-adjustable coaxial cord and runs on a replaceable 3W LED (300 lumens, 3000K, CRI 85+), included.

Who this is not for

• Anyone who needs real task light from one fixture: Kiba is a 300-lumen sparkle accent, so plan several or add recessed lights.
• Bathrooms, covered porches or any damp space: Besa rates these 12V pendants for dry, interior locations only.
• Anyone planning to reuse a standard incandescent or magnetic dimmer: the electronic transformer needs an ELV (electronic low-voltage) dimmer.

Why we carry it

We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and Kiba gives clients the bubble-glass look of a larger pendant at jewelry scale, and the five tints mix easily in a cluster. 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

Switch off and let the glass cool, then wipe the bell with a soft cloth lightly misted with glass cleaner (spray the cloth, not the fixture) and dust the cord and canopy dry (our advice). The LED source is replaceable. Low-voltage installation and the ELV dimmer should be handled by a licensed electrician.

Frequently asked questions

How big is the Besa Kiba mini pendant?

The glass bell is 3.5" in diameter and 4.5" high. It is handcrafted, so each shade varies slightly.

Does the Kiba need a separate transformer?

No. Each Kiba comes with a 60W dimmable electronic transformer that fits partly inside the 4" octagonal ceiling box behind the flat canopy.

What dimmer works with the Kiba?

Use an electronic low-voltage (ELV) dimmer, not included. A standard incandescent or magnetic dimmer is not the right match for its electronic transformer.

How bright is the Besa Kiba?

Its included 3W LED gives about 300 lumens at 3000K with CRI 85+, rated 30,000 hours, so it reads as a decorative sparkle; group several for working light.

Can the Kiba go in a bathroom?

No. Besa rates the 12V Kiba for dry, interior locations only.

Will the Kiba hang from a sloped ceiling?

Yes. The flat canopy installs to a standard 4" octagonal box and is suitable for sloped ceilings.
