Blackjack Lighting Float 48-Inch LED Linear Pendant, Chrome or Satin Nickel

Float is a clean, 48-inch bar of light on two fine cables, made for the long surfaces in a home or workplace: a dining table, a kitchen island, a desk run, a conference table or an open-plan office. Its slim 1.3 by 1.7 inch profile almost disappears in the room, so the light does the work. Polished Chrome or Satin Nickel suits Modern and Transitional interiors, and the maker shows it repeated over workstations in a loft office.

It is bright enough to be the main light: 2,932 lumens from 39 watts at 3000K and 90+ CRI, spread evenly through a full-length acrylic diffuser with no visible LEDs. It runs on 120V and dims on a standard TRIAC dimmer, the driver hides in the 11-inch canopy, and the drop adjusts from 6 to 99 inches. It is damp location rated.

Why it works over long tables

• Even light end to end: a full-length acrylic diffuser, no hot spots.
• Main-light bright: 2,932 lumens from 39 W.
• True color: 90+ CRI at 3000K for food, documents and screens.
• Minimal profile: 1.3 in (3.3 cm) wide, 1.7 in (4.3 cm) high.
• Adjustable drop: 6 to 99 in on two 96 in support cables.
• Damp location rated with the driver hidden in the canopy.

Where to use it

• Dining table: center it over tables about 72 in or longer, 30 to 36 in above the top.
• Kitchen island: one Float replaces two or three pendants over a 6 to 8 ft island.
• Home office and desks: hang it over a long desk or a pair of facing workstations.
• Meeting rooms and open offices: repeat in rows; the maker shows it over a loft office.
