Blackjack Lighting Saucer 4-Inch Acrylic Disc LED Mini Pendant

Saucer pairs a slim 2-inch socket with a flat 4-inch disc of cast acrylic that glows around its rim, like a small halo floating in the air. Hung over a dining table, a coffee table or a bar, or gathered in a cluster in a living room corner as in the maker's photo, it adds a warm, elegant accent without the bulk of a shade. The flat, horizontal form contrasts nicely with taller rod pendants, and it suits Modern, Transitional and contemporary homes, restaurants, lounges and hotel suites.

The LED in the socket shines down into the disc, which carries the light out to its edge, so you see a bright ring and a soft glow rather than a bare bulb. Each pendant gives 133 lumens of 3000K light at 90 CRI, ideal for evening dining and entertaining. The universal driver in the 5-inch canopy dims on TRIAC, ELV or 0-10V, the cable is adjustable on site, and the LED source can be replaced.

Why it works over a table or seating area

• A ring of light: the 4 in (10.2 cm) acrylic disc glows at its rim for a subtle, halo-like accent.
• Low profile: the disc is just 0.5 in (1.3 cm) thick, so it reads light and airy in groups.
• Warm, accurate color: 3000K at 90 CRI for tables, art and faces.
• Universal dimming: TRIAC, ELV or 0-10V through the driver in the canopy.
• Mixes well: pair with Tall Frosted or Clear Point pendants for a varied cluster.
• Replaceable LED source with a three-year warranty on the LED and power supply.

Where to use it

• Dining table: three to five in a row or a loose cluster, 28 to 34 in above the tabletop.
• Living room: a cluster at staggered heights over a side table or reading chair.
• Bar and lounge: a line over the counter, 12 to 18 in apart.
• Hotel suites and restaurants: grouped over booths or banquettes for a soft, intimate glow.

FAQ

How far above a table should Saucer hang?

About 28 to 34 in from the disc to the tabletop. In a cluster, vary the drops a few inches for depth.

How many pendants do I need?

One works as an accent; three to five suit a dining table or bar. Space them roughly 12 to 18 in apart.

How is it installed?

Each pendant mounts to a standard ceiling junction box with its own 5 in canopy, which holds the driver. The cable can be shortened on site. Use a qualified electrician; the instructions are linked above.

Will it work with my dimmer?

Yes, with TRIAC, ELV or 0-10V dimmers on 120 to 277V circuits.

Which finish should I choose?

Matte Black gives a crisp contrast above the glowing disc, Polished Chrome adds reflections, and White keeps the pendant soft against a pale ceiling.
