Blackjack Lighting Dot 24-Arm LED Sputnik Chandelier, 26.5 or 36 Inch

Dot is a sputnik chandelier with a twist. Twenty-four slim arms radiate from a central hub, and each ends in a shallow round reflector with a small metal dot at its center. The LEDs hide behind those dots and bounce their light into the dishes, so instead of 24 bare points of glare you see a constellation of softly glowing saucers. It is made for rooms that deserve a centerpiece: a two-story foyer or stair hall, a dining room, a great room with a high ceiling, a hotel lobby or a restaurant. In Etched Gold it brings a warm, Mid-Century Modern glamour; in Polished Chrome it reads sharper and more contemporary.

It is as practical as it is sculptural. The 26.5-inch size delivers 2,039 lumens and the 36-inch size 3,490 lumens, both at 3000K and 90 CRI, so it can be the main light in the room, not just decoration. The driver sits in the canopy, runs on 120-277V and dims smoothly on TRIAC, ELV or 0-10V controls. A 42-inch adjustable stem kit comes with it, and extra 24-inch stems extend the drop to as much as 11 ft 6 in for very tall ceilings. It is rated for damp locations.

Why it works as a centerpiece

• Glow without glare: each LED is hidden behind a metal dot and reflected off its dish.
• Two sizes: 26.5 in (67.3 cm) for dining rooms and entries, 36 in (91.4 cm) for great rooms and stair halls.
• Serious output: up to 3,490 lumens, enough to light the room on its own.
• True color: 90 CRI warm 3000K light.
• Universal dimming on 120-277V: TRIAC, ELV or 0-10V.
• Tall-ceiling ready: adjustable stem kit included, extendable to 11 ft 6 in.

Where to use it

• Dining room: the 26.5 in size over a 60 to 84 in table, its bottom 30 to 36 in (76 to 91 cm) above the top.
• Foyer and stair hall: the 36 in size centered in a two-story space; keep at least 7 ft of clearance under it.
• Great room or living room: centered over a seating group in a room with a high or vaulted ceiling.
• Hotel lobbies, restaurants and lounges: a recognizable statement piece, singly or in a row.

About Blackjack Lighting and Stephen Blackman

Blackjack Lighting is a design- and technology-driven lighting maker based in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, outside Chicago. It is led by industrial designer Stephen Blackman, its President and Chief Design Officer. A Syracuse University industrial design graduate, he entered the lighting industry in 1984 at Sonneman Design Group and founded his own studio, Blackman Design Associates, in 1988, designing for manufacturers such as Kichler Lighting before launching Blackjack in 2013. His focus has always been practical: fixtures built around LED light from the start, and in Signature Series pieces like Dot, using that light to make the fixture itself the sculpture.

FAQ

Which size should I choose?

Add the room's length and width in feet; the total is a good chandelier diameter in inches. Rooms up to about 12 x 14 ft suit the 26.5 in Dot; larger rooms and two-story spaces suit the 36 in.

How high should it hang?

Over a dining table, 30 to 36 in above the top. In an entry or living area, keep at least 7 ft clear below. The included stem kit and optional 24 in stems set the drop.

Can it hang from a sloped ceiling?

The stem hangs from the canopy, so a sloped ceiling needs a swivel adapter; Blackjack's Sloped Ceiling Swivel (92004) is made for its stem-mounted fixtures and handles pitches up to 60 degrees.

Will it work with my dimmer?

Yes in most cases. The canopy driver supports TRIAC (incandescent-style), ELV and 0-10V dimming on 120-277V.

Etched Gold or Polished Chrome?

Etched Gold has a warm, soft sheen that pairs with brass, walnut and warm whites; Polished Chrome is mirror bright and suits black, white and gray schemes.
