Blackjack Lighting Wedge LED Up and Down Light Pendant, 26 or 36 Inch

Wedge is an award-winning ring pendant that lights the whole room, not just the table. A double row of trapezoidal forms in Polished Chrome fans out from a central ring, sending light up across the ceiling and down onto the surface below. Hang the 26-inch size over a round dining table, a breakfast nook or in a bedroom; choose the 36-inch for a long dining table, a living room, a double-height loft or a lobby. Its sculptural, jewel-like profile suits Modern and Transitional interiors, as well as hotels, restaurants and offices.

Because Wedge lights both up and down, a room feels brighter and more open than with a downlight alone, and the reflected ceiling light softens shadows on faces. The 36-inch delivers 2,800 lumens at 90 CRI in warm 3000K white from just 46 W. The canopy holds a 120-277V driver with universal TRIAC, ELV and 0-10V dimming, and the fixture hangs from adjustable suspension that sets it anywhere from 10 inches to well over 12 feet below the ceiling.

Why it works as a main light

• Up and down light: a double row of wedges lights the ceiling and the table at the same time
• Sculptural profile: a fan of Polished Chrome forms that sparkles even when off
• Two sizes: 26 in for round tables and smaller rooms, 36 in for long tables and larger spaces
• True color: 90 CRI keeps food, finishes and faces looking natural
• Efficient: 2,800 lumens from 46 W on the 36 in
• Universal dimming: 120-277V input with TRIAC, ELV and 0-10V control

Where to use it

• Dining room: choose a diameter about half to two-thirds of the table width and hang the fixture 30 to 36 in above the tabletop.
• Living room or bedroom: center it in the room as the main light, keeping at least 7 ft clear below; the uplight brightens the whole ceiling.
• Lofts and double-height spaces: the 36 in, hung low on long suspension, fills a tall volume, as in the maker's loft photo.
• Restaurants, hotels and offices: a striking centerpiece over a host stand, a lounge or a conference table.

About Blackjack Lighting and Stephen Blackman

His focus has always been practical: fixtures built around LED light from the start, like Wedge, which spreads even, glare-free light up and down from a single ring.

FAQ

26 in or 36 in: which size should I choose?

Choose the 26 in for round tables up to about 48 in, breakfast nooks and bedrooms. Choose the 36 in for tables 60 in wide or larger, living rooms, lofts and lobbies.

How high should it hang over a dining table?

Hang it 30 to 36 in above the tabletop. The suspension adjusts from 10 in up to 144 in (26 in) or 152 in (36 in) below the ceiling.

Why does up and down light matter?

Uplight bounces off the ceiling and fills the room with soft, ambient light, while downlight lights the table. Together they reduce harsh shadows and make the room feel larger.

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. The LED is built in, and Blackjack covers the LED and power supply for three years. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor locations.
