Visual Comfort Bowman 12" LED Outdoor Pendant by Sean Lavin | Charcoal

Sean Lavin's Bowman 12 Outdoor Pendant brings the clean geometry of the Ash family's industrial vocabulary to the hanging fixture format — a 12.6-inch die-cast aluminum cylinder in Charcoal that suspends from a field-cuttable cord at whatever height the space requires, delivering 1,320 lumens of soft 3000K light downward through an acrylic diffuser. The form is confident without being decorative: a cylinder, a diffuser, a cord, and a finish that reads as considered against almost any exterior material palette.

Constructed from powder-coated die-cast aluminum with stainless steel hardware throughout, the Bowman is rated IP65 wet — meaning it's specified for covered porches, exterior dining pavilions, and any outdoor ceiling where the fixture may be exposed to rain driven by wind under a canopy. The 120–277V universal driver with 2.5KV surge protection makes it as appropriate for commercial installation as residential, and the 0–10V, ELV, TRIAC dimming compatibility gives full creative control over light levels throughout the evening.

At 21 watts and 90 CRI, the Bowman 12 delivers restaurant-quality color rendering in outdoor dining and entertaining settings — warm enough to flatter food and people, precise enough to bring out the materiality of the surfaces it illuminates. The field-cuttable cord allows height customization at installation. Free shipping at MetropolitanDecor.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the Bowman 12 be installed on an uncovered porch exposed to rain?
A: Yes — the IP65 wet rating means full exposure to rain and weather is permitted. No overhead canopy is required, though the fixture must be ceiling-mounted to ensure the cord and suspension hardware are protected from direct water contact from above.

Q: How do I adjust the hanging height?
A: The cloth cord is field-cuttable, allowing the installer to set any hanging height at the time of installation. Determine your desired drop from ceiling to fixture bottom, add the fixture height (11.5"), and cut the cord accordingly before wiring.

Q: Is surge protection important for an outdoor pendant?
A: Yes, particularly for coastal installations and areas with frequent electrical storms. The Bowman 12's integrated 2.5KV surge protection guards the LED driver against transient voltage spikes that can shorten LED lifespan or cause driver failure in exterior installations.
