Blackjack Lighting SSM2 96-Inch 400-Light Wave LED Cluster Pendant

SSM2 is built for the biggest rooms: a hotel or corporate atrium, a multi-story stair hall, a ballroom, a casino floor or a retail flagship. Four hundred Short Frosted pendants hang from sixteen 24-inch square canopies that together form a 96-inch square, and their staggered lengths trace a sweeping, arching wave through the space. From the floor it reads as a glowing curtain; from a balcony or upper level it becomes a three-dimensional sculpture. It brings a dramatic Modern statement to hospitality, corporate and high-end residential projects.

The light matches the scale. Each of the 400 frosted pendants glows softly with no visible LED, and together they deliver 58,000 lumens at 90 CRI in warm 3000K white, enough to fill a double-height volume with even, comfortable light. The drivers are built into the canopy (a remote driver location is available), and 120-277V input with universal TRIAC, ELV and 0-10V dimming ties it into building lighting controls. Drop lengths are field adjustable to a maximum overall height of 102 inches.

Why it works in tall spaces

• One fixture, a whole ceiling: 400 pendants on a 96 in square canopy fill an atrium or ballroom with a single coordinated design
• Sculptural wave: staggered drops create an arching wave that reads from below and from upper floors
• Massive, even light: 58,000 lumens at 90 CRI from soft frosted pendants
• Building-ready controls: 120-277V input with universal TRIAC, ELV and 0-10V dimming
• Service-friendly: drivers in the canopy, or a remote driver location for hard-to-reach ceilings
• Modular build: sixteen 24 in canopy modules for easier handling and installation

Where to use it

• Atriums and stair halls: center it in a double- or triple-height volume so the wave is visible from every landing.
• Hotel and corporate lobbies: make it the arrival moment above a reception or lounge area.
• Ballrooms and event spaces: pair with dimming controls to shift from bright setup light to an evening glow.
• Retail flagships and casinos: a signature ceiling feature that draws people in and lights merchandise below.

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, like SSM2, which turns hundreds of soft, glare-free points of light into a single sculpture.

FAQ

Who should plan the installation?

A fixture this size needs an engineer or contractor to confirm the ceiling structure for 320 lb (145 kg) and to lay out power to the sixteen canopy modules. The installation instructions above show the module layout.

Should I choose canopy or remote drivers?

Canopy drivers keep the installation self-contained. A remote driver location is useful when the fixture will be hard to reach for service, for example over an atrium void.

Can it connect to a lighting control system?

Yes. It supports 0-10V dimming as well as TRIAC and ELV, so it works with commercial lighting controls.

What ceiling height does it suit?

With a 96 in canopy and a maximum overall height of 102 in, it is meant for atriums, ballrooms and double-height or taller spaces.

Can the drop lengths be adjusted?

Yes. The pendants are field adjustable up or down to fine-tune the wave on site. The LEDs are built in, and Blackjack covers the LED and power supply for three years.
