Who this is not for

• Bathrooms, showers, covered porches and patios: Besa rates the Pivot for dry interior locations only.
• Anyone who wants a rigid, perfectly still drop: a cord-hung pendant can sway.
• Anyone with a standard wall dimmer who expects smooth dimming: this 12V fixture needs an ELV dimmer.
• Anyone who needs every shade identical: handcrafted glass varies slightly.

Why we carry it

We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009. Besa Lighting pairs American design with European glass artisanship: its shades are made by hand by skilled artisans using techniques passed down for generations, then inspected at Besa's factory in Ohio before they ship.

Buy once: durability and care

With the power off and the glass cool, wipe the glass with a soft cloth lightly misted with glass cleaner (spray the cloth, not the fixture). Dust the metal parts with a dry cloth (our advice). Installation by a licensed electrician is recommended.
