{"product_id":"fontanaarte-equatore-pendant-light-glass-dome-led","title":"FontanaArte Equatore Suspension Light, Glass Dome LED Pendant, 3 Metal Finishes","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe FontanaArte Equatore suspension light is an LED glass-dome pendant for kitchen islands, dining tables, restaurant counters and hotel lounges. It plays a clever trick on the classic glass lampshade: the dome looks empty, and the light comes from a slim metal band around its middle, the \"equator\", where two luminous discs send light down onto the table and up into the tinted glass cap. The result is a pendant that gives strong, useful task light below and a soft, warm glow above, finished in Polished Copper, Glossy Black or Gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct:\u003c\/strong\u003e Equatore suspension light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e FontanaArte, Milan, Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem number (MPN):\u003c\/strong\u003e F439090550RSLU (Polished Copper), F439085550NELU (Glossy Black), F439085150OOLU (Gold)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardwired LED pendant \/ suspension light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e kitchen islands, dining tables, breakfast bars, restaurant and bar counters, hotel lounges, reception desks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 in (36 cm), per the maker drawing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 in (61 cm), per the maker drawing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuspension:\u003c\/strong\u003e up to 98.4 in (250 cm); ceiling canopy 7.8 in (20 cm) diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight source:\u003c\/strong\u003e integrated LED, 40W, 4500 lm, 2700 K, CRI above 90\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight\/dimming:\u003c\/strong\u003e diffused light, dimmable 1-10V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation:\u003c\/strong\u003e hardwired with a white painted metal ceiling canopy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRating:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP20, dry indoor locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e painted metal frame; diffuser in transparent and coloured glass; LED discs in polycarbonate; steel suspension cable; black power cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinishes available:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polished Copper, Glossy Black, Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e ETL (Intertek) pending\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gabriele and Oscar Buratti (2017)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Modern, Contemporary, Transitional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/1264\/8406\/files\/etl-intertek-pending-certification-mark.png\" alt=\"ETL Intertek pending certification mark: ETL listing for the US and Canadian markets is in progress\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\"\u003e ETL (Intertek) certification for the U.S. market is in progress for this pendant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLight quality and how it performs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEquatore splits its light in two. The lower LED disc directs a clean, downward beam onto the surface below, so a kitchen worktop or a dining table gets real working light. The upper disc lights the glass cap from inside, which glows softly and gives the pendant its presence across the room. Internal screens arranged in layers spread the LED light evenly over each disc, so you see a smooth luminous ring rather than individual points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 40W and 4500 lumens, Equatore is bright enough to be the main light over an island or table. The 2700 K colour is warm and the CRI above 90 renders food, wood and skin tones accurately. Dimming is 1-10V: ask your electrician to pair it with a 1-10V compatible dimmer or control so you can turn it down for dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSize and placement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOver a kitchen island.\u003c\/strong\u003e As general guidance, hang the bottom of the pendant about 30 to 36 in (76 to 91 cm) above the counter. At 14 in across, two Equatore pendants suit an island of about 6 to 7 ft; use three for 8 ft or more, spaced about 28 to 32 in apart on centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOver a dining table.\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep the bottom about 30 to 34 in above the tabletop.

The maker drawing shows a suspension of up to 98.4 in (250 cm), adjusted on site. A licensed electrician should install it and connect the 1-10V dimming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHomes.\u003c\/strong\u003e Over an island, a breakfast bar or a dining table, Equatore gives the strong downlight these surfaces need without looking like a utility fixture.
