The Pera 9 is Besa Lighting’s bell-bottomed pendant: a softly swelling glass shade, 6 inches across and 9.5 inches tall, that sits comfortably in contemporary kitchens without feeling severe. Each shade is blown by hand, so the shape and pattern vary slightly from piece to piece.

Choose from ten glass looks: calm Opal Matte or Carrera, warm Amber Matte, Honey and Habanero, deep Magma and Red Cloud, cool Blue Cloud, and the patterned Amber Cloud and Marble Grigio. Besa describes Amber Cloud as floating gold-to-amber color set between an opal inner layer and a clear glossy outer layer. Order the LED version with its 9W dimmable source included (800 lumens, 3000K, CRI 90+) or the incandescent version for a 100W max A19 bulb of your choice.

Best for

Kitchen islands in rows of two to four, breakfast bars, small dining tables, bedside drops and entries; the warm glasses suit wood kitchens, Opal and Carrera suit white and gray schemes.

Who this is not for

• Large rooms that need one big statement fixture: Pera 9 is a mid-size pendant made for groups.
• Anyone who wants a clear shade that shows the bulb: most Pera glasses diffuse the light.
• Anyone who needs strictly identical shades: hand-blown glass varies in pattern and size.

Why we carry it

We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and the Pera 9 gives clients the widest glass palette we stock in one shape, so it matches almost any tile, stone or cabinet color. 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 with a soft cloth lightly misted with glass cleaner (spray the cloth, not the fixture); dust the metal with a dry microfiber cloth (our advice). The LED source is replaceable. Installation by a licensed electrician is recommended.

Frequently asked questions

How big is the Besa Pera 9 shade?

The glass is 6" in diameter and 9.5" high. It is hand-blown, so allow for slight variation.

Which Pera 9 glass gives the warmest light?

Honey, Amber Matte and Habanero glow warm; Amber Cloud adds a mottled gold-to-amber pattern. Opal Matte and Carrera are the neutral whites.

Does the Pera 9 LED version include the bulb?

Yes. It includes a 9W dimmable, replaceable LED source with 800 lumens at 3000K and CRI 90+, rated 30,000 hours. The incandescent version takes an A19 bulb up to 100W, sold separately.

Can I use the Pera 9 in a bathroom?

Yes. Besa rates it for damp locations, interior use only.

How many Pera 9 pendants fit over a kitchen island?

At 6" wide, two to four is typical, spaced roughly 24–30" apart and hung so the bottom of the glass sits about 30–36" above the counter (our advice).

Will the Pera 9 work on a vaulted ceiling?

Yes. It mounts to a 4" octagonal or round box and is suitable for sloped ceilings.
