This is the cord-hung Besa Lighting Rondo, a tall aluminum trumpet with a semi-specular alzak reflector. The shade measures 7.875 inches across and 16.85 inches tall, and it hangs on a 10-foot coaxial cord with a Teflon jacket in a tint that matches the finish, hung from a flat canopy that installs to a standard 4-inch box and suits sloped ceilings. One 60W electronic dimmable transformer is included; it fits partly inside the junction box, and the pendant dims on an ELV dimmer (not included).

Rondo is a contemporary trumpet of aluminum with a semi-specular alzak reflector that shields the light source and focuses it downward. The shade is brushed aluminum in Satin Nickel and powder-coated in Black or Bronze; the reflector is silver inside the Satin Nickel version and champagne inside the Black and Bronze versions. It runs on its included 9W replaceable 12V MR16 LED source: 525 lumens, 3000K, CRI 80+, rated 25,000 hours, dimmable. The photos show each finish as shipped.

Best for

Kitchens, dining rooms, bedsides, entries and stairwells where a flexible cord should set each pendant at its own height. The Rondo itself suits kitchen islands, bars, desks and dining tables in pairs or threes where a taller, bold shade should give focused task light. Related: Prince cord mini pendant.

Who this is not for

• Bathrooms, showers, covered porches and patios: it is rated for dry interior locations only.
• Anyone who wants a rigid, perfectly vertical drop: Besa’s stem versions hold a shade fixed.
• Anyone who wants to change the height later without recutting: the flat-canopy cord is trimmed once at installation.
• Anyone with a non-dimming wall switch who wants smooth dimming: it needs an ELV dimmer.

Why we carry it

We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and the cord Rondo is the most flexible way to hang it: the drop is trimmed on site, so every pendant in a run can be set to its exact height. Besa Lighting is an American design house based in Ohio, best known for hand-blown glass; the its aluminum trumpet shows its metalwork, finished and inspected at the factory before it ships.

Buy once: durability and care

With the power off and the shade cool, wipe it with a soft dry or barely damp cloth (spray the cloth, never the fixture) and dust the cord and canopy with a dry microfiber cloth (our advice). The LED source is replaceable. Installation by a licensed electrician is recommended.
