• ✓ Damp rated

This is the cable-hung version of Besa Lighting’s Pahu 12, a distinctive double-glass pendant, an opal cylinder inside a transparent outer glass. The double-glass cylinder is the same one Besa offers on its other mounts, 11.75 inches across and 10.625 inches tall, but it hangs from three 10-foot aircraft-quality stainless steel cables, with a 10-foot AWM power cord running alongside, under a 5-inch canopy in plated stamped steel. It installs directly to a standard 4-inch octagonal ceiling box.

Pahu is a double-glass shade: an inner opal cylinder, a soft white cased glass with a tranquil glow and a satin-etched outer layer, centered inside a transparent outer cylinder in Amethyst, Clear, Armagnac, Olive or Smoke that sparkles with the light from within. Order the LED version (a 11W replaceable, dimmable LED source is included: 1100 lumens at 3000K, CRI 90+) or the incandescent version for a 100W A19 medium-base (E26) bulb of your choice. The photos show the Pahu 12 glass options hung on their cables.

The Pahu 12 itself suits kitchen islands, reception desks, dining tables and stair landings where a substantial, glowing cylinder should stand tall.

Who this is not for

• Anyone who wants a rigid, swing-free drop: the stem version holds the shade fixed.
• Anyone who prefers a single hanging point: this version hangs from three cables.
• Anyone who needs every shade identical: handcrafted glass varies slightly.
• Outdoor porches and patios: it is rated for damp interior locations only.

Why we carry it

We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and the cable Pahu 12 hangs a substantial double-glass shade from three taut steel lines, an architectural look that suits tall, modern rooms. 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 it with a soft cloth lightly misted with glass cleaner (spray the cloth, not the fixture) and dust the cables and canopy with a dry microfiber cloth (our advice). The LED source is replaceable. Installation by a licensed electrician is recommended.
