Besa Pinta 12 Optic Clear Glass Pendant, Cable Hung

The Pinta 12 shade on a fine stainless steel cable: a crisp, architectural line from a 5-inch dome canopy, made for tall rooms.

• ✓ Stainless steel cable
• ✓ 5" dome canopy
• ✓ Large 14.25" optic glass
• ✓ Damp rated
• ✓ UL or ETL listed
• ✓ Dimmable

This is the cable-hung version of Besa Lighting’s Pinta 12, a large clear glass shade with optical lines. The shade is the same as on the cord pendant, 14.25 inches across and 11.875 inches tall, but the weight is carried by a single 10-foot aircraft-quality stainless steel cable with a 10-foot AWM power cord alongside, under a 5-inch dome canopy in plated stamped steel. It installs to a standard 4-inch box and suits sloped ceilings.

The clear glass carries fine optical lines that bend and multiply the image of the exposed lamp, so the whole shade sparkles when lit. It takes a 100W A19 medium-base (E26) bulb of your choice (not included). The photos show the Pinta 12 glass options; on this version the shade hangs from the stainless steel cable and dome canopy described above.

Best for

Tall and double-height rooms, lofts, commercial interiors, hospitality counters and anywhere a fine steel line looks cleaner than a cord. The Pinta 12 itself suits dining tables, kitchen islands in pairs, foyers and double-height entries where a large clear shade and a decorative bulb should be seen.

Who this is not for

• Anyone who wants a rigid, swing-free drop: the stem version holds the shade fixed.
• Anyone who prefers a flat canopy that sits tight to the ceiling: this version uses a 5" dome canopy.
• 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 Pinta 12 gives architects and designers the tensioned-line look that suits modern, high-ceilinged spaces. 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 cable and canopy with a dry microfiber cloth (our advice). Installation by a licensed electrician is recommended.
