Blackjack Lighting Starburst LED Chandelier, 29 or 40 Inch

Starburst is a modern take on the sputnik chandelier, built for the rooms where people gather. Dozens of plated steel rays burst out from a central hub, each tipped with a glowing LED, so the fixture sparkles over a dining table, fills the volume of a living room or double-height foyer, and makes a glamorous statement in a primary bath or hotel suite. The 29-inch size suits most dining tables and living rooms; the 40-inch size commands larger tables, great rooms and lobbies. It is equally at home in Mid-century, Modern and Transitional interiors, as well as restaurants and hospitality spaces.

Instead of dozens of fragile bulbs, Starburst uses integrated, replaceable LEDs that deliver 2018 lumens from the 29-inch and 2779 lumens from the 40-inch, at 90 CRI in warm 3000K white. The driver sits in the canopy, with 120-277V input and universal TRIAC, ELV and 0-10V dimming, so it dims smoothly from a bright dinner-party glow to a soft evening light. A 42-inch adjustable stem kit sets the height on site, and the fixture is damp location rated. It is protected by US Patent D731,105S.

Why it works as a centerpiece

• Sputnik sparkle, LED efficiency: dozens of glowing tips with no bulbs to change, from just 30 W or 40 W
• Two sizes: 29 in for most dining tables and living rooms, 40 in for large tables, great rooms and foyers
• Three finishes: Polished Chrome, Satin Nickel or Brushed Brass on the 29 in; Polished Chrome on the 40 in
• True color: 90 CRI keeps food, faces and finishes looking natural
• Smooth dimming: 120-277V input with universal TRIAC, ELV and 0-10V dimming
• Adjustable stem: 42 in stem kit (three 12 in and one 6 in sections) to set the height on site

Where to use it

• Dining room: choose a diameter about half to two-thirds of the table width and hang the bottom 30 to 36 in above the tabletop.
• Living room or great room: center it in the room and keep at least 7 ft of clearance below it; the 40 in suits larger rooms and high ceilings.
• Foyer and stair hall: the 40 in fills a double-height entry; add extension stems to bring it down to the landing.
• Primary bath and hotel suites: damp location rated, it adds glamour over a freestanding tub or lounge area.

FAQ

29 in or 40 in: which size should I choose?

Choose the 29 in for dining tables up to about 60 in wide and most living rooms. Choose the 40 in for larger tables, great rooms, foyers and rooms with ceilings above 10 ft.

How high should it hang over a dining table?

Hang the bottom of the fixture 30 to 36 in above the tabletop. The 42 in stem kit adjusts on site, and extension stems are available for tall ceilings.

Can I mount it on a sloped ceiling?

It is stem-mounted, so check the instruction sheet above with your electrician, or contact us with your ceiling pitch before ordering and we will confirm the right mounting with Blackjack.

Will it work with my dimmer?

Yes. It dims on TRIAC (incandescent-style), ELV and 0-10V controls, so it works with most home dimmers and commercial systems.

Does it use bulbs?

No. It uses replaceable integrated LEDs, and Blackjack covers the LED and power supply for three years. It is damp location rated for baths and covered porches.
