Blackjack Lighting Short Frosted 1-Inch LED Mini Pendant, 5-Inch Canopy

Short Frosted is about as small as a pendant gets: a slim 1-inch socket finished in Matte Black, White or Polished Chrome, with a screw-in frosted acrylic light guide that glows at the tip. Hang one beside a bed in place of a lamp, a few over a kitchen island, bar or vanity, or dozens at staggered heights in a stairwell, atrium or hotel lobby for a starry, floating effect, as in the maker's photos. The clean, Modern form suits Scandinavian, Transitional and contemporary spaces in homes and commercial projects alike.

Small does not mean weak. Each pendant gives 133 lumens at 90 CRI from a 3 W LED, a soft, color-true point of light. The 5-inch canopy holds a universal driver that dims on TRIAC, ELV or 0-10V from 120 to 277V, and the cable is field adjustable. The LED light source is replaceable, and the fixture is damp location rated.

Why it works in groups or alone

• Tiny footprint: 1 in (2.5 cm) diameter, so even a large cluster stays light and airy.
• Soft, glare-free glow: a cast acrylic frosted light guide instead of a bare LED.
• True color: 90 CRI at 3000K.
• Dims on almost any control: universal driver in the 5 in canopy for TRIAC, ELV or 0-10V.
• Damp location rated with a replaceable LED source.
• No bulbs to buy: integrated LED, backed by a three-year warranty on the LED and power supply.

Where to use it

• Bedside: drop one beside the bed, about 18 to 24 in above the nightstand, to free up the surface.
• Kitchen island or bar: three to six in a row, 12 to 18 in apart, 30 to 36 in above the counter.
• Bath vanity: a pair on either side of the mirror at about face height (damp rated).
• Stairwells, atriums and lobbies: large clusters at varied drops; Blackjack Multi-Port canopies simplify big groups.

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, here shrunk to a single glowing point.

FAQ

How many do I need over an island?

As a rule of thumb, one every 12 to 18 in along the island, hung 30 to 36 in above the counter. Because each is small, groups of four to six read best.

How is it mounted?

Each pendant has its own 5 in canopy with the driver inside, mounted to a standard ceiling junction box. For large clusters, Blackjack Multi-Port canopies feed many pendants from one point. Have a qualified electrician install it; see the instructions above.

Which dimmer works?

The integrated universal driver dims on TRIAC, ELV or 0-10V controls, on 120 to 277V circuits.

Can I use it in a bathroom?

Yes. It is damp location rated, so it works beside a vanity or in a bath away from direct water spray.

Can the LED be replaced?

Yes. The light source is replaceable, and Blackjack covers the LED and power supply for three years.
