Blackjack Lighting Quadra 48-Inch LED Linear Pendant, Downlight or Up and Down Light

Quadra is a linear pendant that almost disappears. A 47-inch Polished Chrome frame, only 6 inches wide and remarkably thin from the side, floats on four nearly invisible cables, with a row of square LED panels set along its length. Hang it over a kitchen island, a long dining table, a conference or boardroom table, a desk run in a home office, or a reception counter. Its crisp, architectural look suits Modern, Transitional and minimalist interiors, and it keeps the view open across the room.

Choose how it lights the room. The Downlight version puts all of its light onto the table or counter for focused task light and a more intimate mood. The Up and Down Light version also lights the ceiling, which brightens the whole room and softens shadows, a good choice for kitchens and meeting rooms. Both give 1,827 lumens at 90 CRI and 3000K (36 W down only, 39 W up and down) and dim on a standard 120V TRIAC dimmer. The four cables adjust in the field for an overall height of 4 to 97 inches.

Why it works over a long table

• Two ways to light: Downlight for focused light on the table, or Up and Down Light for task light plus a soft wash on the ceiling.
• Nearly invisible: a thin 47.1 x 6 in frame on four slim cables.
• Bright and true: 1,827 lumens at 90 CRI in either version.
• Even, glare-free: diffused square LED panels instead of exposed points.
• Adjustable height: 4 to 97 in overall, set in the field.
• No bulbs to buy: integrated LED, backed by a three-year warranty on the LED and power supply.

Where to use it

• Kitchen island: center over an island 6 to 8 ft long, 30 to 36 in above the counter; Up and Down Light keeps the whole kitchen bright.
• Dining table: over a rectangular table 72 in or longer, about 30 in above the top; Downlight gives a cozier pool of light for dinner.
• Conference rooms and home offices: even light for screens, paper and video calls; Up and Down Light reduces contrast on screens.
• Vaulted or sloped ceilings: the four cables let you level the fixture under a slope (check the installation sheet).

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, with even, glare-free light for real work, which Quadra delivers in a frame that almost vanishes.

FAQ

How high should Quadra hang over a table or island?

About 30 to 36 in above the surface. The four cables adjust in the field for an overall height between 4 and 97 in.

Downlight or Up and Down Light?

Choose Downlight for light focused on the table and a moodier room, for example over a dining table. Choose Up and Down Light when you also want the ceiling lit, which makes the room feel larger and reduces contrast, a plus in kitchens, meeting rooms and spaces with white ceilings.

How is it mounted?

The 11 in canopy mounts to a ceiling junction box, and the fixture hangs on four cables. Have a qualified electrician install it; see the instruction sheet above.

What dimmer do I need?

Both 120V versions dim on a standard TRIAC (incandescent-style) dimmer.

Does it use replaceable bulbs?

No. The LED is built in, and Blackjack covers the LED and power supply for three years.
