Blackjack Lighting Tria 5-Inch LED Mini Pendant, Open Pyramid

Tria is a mini pendant drawn in a few clean lines: an open pyramid of stainless steel with an edge-lit LED panel set into its base. Because the form is open, you see straight through it, so a row of three over a kitchen island or bar looks crisp and architectural without closing off the view. It is just as good alone over a breakfast table, beside a bed, above a powder-room vanity, in an entry, or repeated over restaurant tables and hotel bars. In Polished Chrome it sparkles; in White it is soft and gallery-like. Either way it suits Modern, Minimalist and Transitional interiors.

For its size it is a strong performer. The 7-watt edge-lit panel delivers 321 lumens of warm 3000K light at 90 CRI straight down onto the counter or table, more than twice the output of a typical decorative mini pendant, with the panel's even surface keeping glare low. It dims on a standard 120V TRIAC dimmer, mounts with a 5-inch canopy to a standard junction box, and its cable adjusts on site from 10 to 80 inches overall. It is rated for damp locations.

Why it works over an island

• See-through form: an open stainless steel pyramid keeps sight lines clear.
• Useful task light: 321 lumens aimed down from an edge-lit LED panel.
• Low glare: the panel spreads light evenly with no bright point source.
• True color: 90 CRI warm 3000K light for food and finishes.
• Dims on a standard 120V TRIAC dimmer.
• Damp location rated, with a three-year warranty on the LED and power supply.

Where to use it

• Kitchen island: three in a row, 30 to 36 in (76 to 91 cm) above the counter and about 24 to 30 in apart.
• Bar or peninsula: two to four along the counter for bright, even light.
• Bedside or entry: a single pendant as a sculptural accent.
• Restaurants, cafes and hotels: over tables, bars and host stands.

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 Tria, where the light source itself becomes part of the form.

FAQ

How many should I hang over an island?

Three over a typical 6 to 8 ft island, spaced evenly about 24 to 30 in apart and hung 30 to 36 in above the counter.

What does it mount to?

A standard ceiling junction box, covered by the 5 in round canopy.

What dimmer do I need?

A standard 120V TRIAC (incandescent-style) dimmer; an LED-rated model gives the smoothest dimming.

Can it go in a bathroom?

Yes. Blackjack rates Tria for damp locations; keep it away from direct water spray.

Polished Chrome or White?

Polished Chrome reflects the light and sparkles against dark cabinets or stone; White is quieter and blends with white kitchens and ceilings.
