Blackjack Lighting Novo Short 7.5-Inch LED Cylinder Mini Pendant

Novo Short is the slim cylinder pendant designers reach for when they want a clean row of light. Line five or six over a restaurant bar, a coffee counter or a reception desk, hang three over a kitchen island, or drop a pair beside a bed or over a retail display. At 7.5 inches tall and 1.5 inches wide it works under standard 8 to 9 foot ceilings and in tight spacing, and its precise, Modern shape sits as comfortably in an Industrial loft or a Scandinavian kitchen as in a hotel or shop.

Choose how it glows. The Luminous Ring gives a crisp band of light at the base, the Reflector Ring with a gold interior adds a warm downlight, the Frosted diffuser extends the cylinder into a soft glowing column, and the Bubble diffuser adds sparkle. Every version delivers 368 lumens of warm 3000K light at 90 CRI from an integrated 5 W LED. The 5-inch canopy holds a 120-277V universal dimming driver, so each pendant installs on a standard junction box.

Why it works in a row

• Slim and precise: a 1.5 in aluminum cylinder that keeps sightlines open, even in long rows
• Four looks, one fixture: Luminous Ring, Reflector Ring, Frosted or Bubble diffuser
• Real light: 368 lumens from 5 W, enough to light a counter as well as decorate it
• True color: 90 CRI for food, drinks and merchandise
• Simple install: integral 120-277V driver in the 5 in canopy over a standard junction box
• Dims smoothly: universal dimming on TRIAC, ELV or 0-10V controls

Where to use it

• Kitchen island: hang three to five, about 18 to 24 in apart on center, with the bottoms 30 to 36 in above the counter.
• Bars and restaurants: a long, evenly spaced row over the bar top or banquettes gives a crisp rhythm of light.
• Bedside: drop one on each side of the bed, 18 to 24 in above the nightstand, to free up table space.
• Retail and reception: use the Reflector Ring for a focused downlight on displays and front desks.

About Blackjack Lighting and Stephen Blackman

FAQ

Which diffuser should I choose?

Luminous Ring for a crisp, minimal band of light; Reflector Ring with gold interior for a warm, focused downlight; Frosted for a soft glowing column; Bubble for sparkle. All four give 368 lumens.

How far apart should they hang over an island?

Roughly 18 to 24 in on center works well for small cylinders like this, with at least 6 in clear at each end of the counter.

What height above a counter?

Set the bottom of the pendant about 30 to 36 in above the countertop, or 18 to 24 in above a nightstand.

What does it need in the ceiling?

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

Does it dim?

Yes, on TRIAC, ELV or 0-10V controls. The LED is built in, and Blackjack covers the LED and power supply for three years.
