Modus takes the classic RLM warehouse shade and casts it in a cement-based material, 9 inches across and 5 inches high. The shape hides the lamp and throws a focused pool of light downward, which Besa designed for effective task lighting over a counter or table.

This is the 12V low-voltage version with a flat canopy. A 60W dimmable electronic transformer comes with each pendant and fits partly inside the ceiling box, and the light source is a replaceable 9W LED MR16 (525 lumens, 3000K, CRI 80+), included. Choose a Natural gray, warm Tan or White shade on satin nickel, bronze or black.

Best for

Kitchen islands and prep counters, dining tables in industrial or urban lofts, desks and workbenches, bar tops and café counters where you want light on the surface, not in your eyes. Related: Pica 6 sand glass mini pendant, Newton 6 globe mini pendant.

Who this is not for

• Anyone wanting an all-around glow: the opaque concrete shade aims light down and keeps the ceiling dark.
• 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 Modus is our go-to when a client wants the industrial look in a smaller, lighter pendant that still gives proper light on the counter. 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

Dust the concrete shade with a soft dry brush or microfiber cloth; avoid liquids and cleaners on the concrete (our advice). The LED MR16 is replaceable. Have a licensed electrician install the fixture and the ELV dimmer.
