Blackjack Lighting Acrylic Globe 5-Inch Clear LED Pendant, 368 Lumens

The Acrylic Globe is a small, crystal-clear sphere of light that looks right in a row over a kitchen island, in a cluster over a stair, or one at a time beside a bed. The globe is a clear, dimpled optical acrylic with a white cone of light inside, so it sparkles when lit and still reads as clean and simple when off. It suits Modern, Scandinavian and Transitional kitchens, and it scales up for bars, restaurants, hotel lobbies and reception desks where you want several matching pendants.

Each pendant delivers 368 lumens from a 5-watt integrated LED at 3000K and 90 CRI, so food and finishes look natural. The 5-inch canopy carries its own universal driver and dims on TRIAC, ELV or 0-10V controls. The cable is 96 inches by default and field adjustable, so you can set the height on site. Choose Matte Black, White or Polished Chrome for the socket and canopy.

Why it works over an island or a table

• Sparkle without glare: the dimpled acrylic globe hides the LED and spreads light in all directions.
• Lightweight and unbreakable: optical acrylic, not glass, which is easier to ship, hang and clean.
• True color: 90 CRI for food prep, dining and display.
• Universal dimming: TRIAC, ELV or 0-10V through the driver in the 5-inch canopy.
• Adjustable height: 96 in cable by default, cut or coiled to the drop you need.
• Quick Ship item at the maker, with no bulbs to buy.

Where to use it

• Kitchen island: hang three or more about 24 to 30 in apart, with the bottom of the globe 30 to 36 in above the counter.
• Dining table: group several at staggered heights over the center of the table, 30 to 36 in above the top.
• Bedside: drop one on each side of the bed in place of table lamps.
• Bars, cafes and hotel lobbies: repeat in rows or clusters for a consistent, glittering field of light.

FAQ

How many do I need over a kitchen island?

As a rule of thumb, one pendant for every 24 to 30 in of island length, kept at least 6 in in from each end.

How high should they hang?

Leave 30 to 36 in between the counter or table top and the bottom of the globe. The 96 in cable is adjusted on site.

Do I need a separate driver?

No. The 5 in canopy includes the driver and sits over a standard ceiling junction box.

Which dimmers work?

The driver is universal, so TRIAC, ELV and 0-10V dimmers all work.

Is the globe glass?

No. It is optical acrylic, which is lighter than glass and will not shatter.
