Blackjack Lighting Mushroom Mini LED Pendant, Clear Acrylic, 3W

The Mushroom is a jewel-sized pendant that makes its biggest impact in numbers. Hang a long row over a restaurant bar or a coffee-shop counter, scatter dozens at different heights across a hotel lounge or lobby ceiling, or run a line of five to nine over a home kitchen island. At just 2.5 inches across, each light keeps views open while the group reads as a field of small, glowing points. It suits Modern, Industrial and Scandinavian interiors, from lofts and cafes to apartments and offices.

Each pendant is a cast clear acrylic light guide with a laser-etched mushroom form; the LED in the socket pushes light down through the acrylic so the etched shape glows from within instead of showing a bare source. It delivers 133 lumens of warm 3000K light at 90 CRI. The 5-inch canopy holds a 120-277V universal dimming driver, so each light installs on a standard junction box, the cable adjusts on site for a drop from 4 to 99 inches, and the fixture is damp location rated.

Why it works in groups

• Sparkle without bulk: a 2.5 in head keeps sightlines open, even in a large cluster
• Glowing light guide: laser-etched cast acrylic lights up from within, with no bare bulb in view
• Three finishes: Matte Black, White or Polished Chrome socket to match the room
• True color: 90 CRI for food, drinks and faces
• Simple install: integral 120-277V driver in the 5 in canopy over a standard junction box
• Damp rated: suits covered patios, bathrooms and humid spaces

Where to use it

• Kitchen island: run five to nine in a straight line or loose cluster over a 6 to 8 ft island, 30 to 36 in above the counter.
• Bars and coffee counters: hang a long, evenly spaced row over the bar top for a crisp, repeated rhythm of light.
• Hotel lounges and lobbies: stagger many at different heights across the ceiling for a starry, floating effect, as in the maker's lounge photo.
• Entry, stair or bedside: drop one or two as a small, decorative accent; keep 7 ft clear where people walk.

FAQ

How many should I hang over a kitchen island?

For a 6 to 8 ft island, five to nine mini pendants in a line or loose cluster give an even effect. Each needs its own ceiling junction box. Hang them 30 to 36 in above the counter.

Is it bright enough to work by?

At 133 lumens each, it is decorative. Use a group as an accent layer alongside recessed or task lighting.

What ceiling connection is needed?

A standard junction box for each pendant; the 5 in canopy holds the 120-277V driver, so no remote transformer is needed.

Will it work with my dimmer?

Yes. It dims on TRIAC (incandescent-style), ELV and 0-10V controls.

Can I use it on a covered porch?

Yes. It is damp location rated for covered outdoor areas and bathrooms. The LED is built in, and Blackjack covers the LED and power supply for three years.
