Blackjack Lighting Gradient 1-Inch Acrylic LED Mini Pendant

Gradient is a 1-inch acrylic rod with fine laser-etched bands that glow brighter toward the bottom, like a small column of light. Hang one beside a bed, three over a compact kitchen island or bar, or a dozen in a cluster over a dining table or stairwell. It suits Modern and Scandinavian homes, and in restaurants, lounges and hotel lobbies it creates a sparkling field of light without bulky shades.

Each pendant delivers 133 lumens from a 3-watt LED at 3000K and 90 CRI, a gentle, decorative glow. The 5-inch canopy carries a universal driver for TRIAC, ELV or 0-10V dimming, the cable hangs the light from 6 to 96 inches below the ceiling, and it is damp location rated. The screw-in light guide is replaceable, and the socket comes in Matte Black, White or Polished Chrome.

Why it works in groups

• Sparkling detail: laser-etched bands catch the light along the rod.
• Tiny footprint: 1.1 in (2.8 cm) wide, about 7 in (17.8 cm) long with the socket.
• Warm accent light: 133 lumens at 3000K and 90 CRI.
• Universal dimming from the driver in the 5 in canopy.
• Damp location rated for baths and covered outdoor areas.
• Replaceable light guide that screws in.

Where to use it

• Bedside: hang one on each side of the bed, about at shoulder height when seated.
• Kitchen island or bar: three to five pendants, 30 to 36 in above the counter.
• Dining table clusters: group many at staggered heights over the center of the table.
• Restaurants and lounges: use in clusters for a starry effect, as the maker photos show.

FAQ

Is it bright enough for a kitchen?

It is an accent light. Use several over an island and pair them with recessed or under-cabinet lighting for task work.

How do I make a cluster?

Each pendant needs its own junction box and 5 in canopy; vary the cable lengths between 6 and 96 in.

Which dimmers work?

TRIAC, ELV and 0-10V, through the universal driver in the canopy.

Can I use it in a bathroom?

Yes. It is damp location rated; keep it out of the shower zone.

Is the light guide replaceable?

Yes. The acrylic light guide screws in and can be replaced.
