A small sphere of satin opal blown glass, just 4.7 in across, sits under a slim metal stem and half-shade in Polished Brass, Polished Nickel or Glossy Black, so the lamp reads as a single bright point of light, the essential glass-and-sphere form FontanaArte describes as inspired by mid-century Italian theatre and Broadway stages. Its scale makes it easy to use in pairs, rows and clusters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pallina suspension (pendant) 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 F443080150OTNU (Polished Brass), F443080150NSNU (Polished Nickel), F443080150NENU (Glossy Black)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardwired mini pendant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e bedside lighting, kitchen islands and bars, desks, reading corners, entries, hotel rooms, restaurants and bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlobe:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.7 in (12 cm) diameter x 5.1 in (13 cm) high, per the maker drawing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStem:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.4 in (24 cm), per the maker drawing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuspension:\u003c\/strong\u003e 88.9 in (226 cm), per the maker drawing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight source:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x G9, 6W max (bulb not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight\/dimming:\u003c\/strong\u003e diffused light, dimmable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110V, hardwired with a painted polycarbonate 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 satin opal blown glass diffuser; plated metal frame with double interchangeable stem; transparent power cable; painted polycarbonate ceiling rose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinishes available:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polished Brass, Polished Nickel, Glossy Black\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 FontanaArte Design Lab (2019)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Modern, Minimalist, Retro\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\u003ePallina's satin opal glass hides the lamp completely and glows evenly, giving a soft, diffused point of light rather than a beam. The metal half-shade above the globe bounces some light downward and keeps the ceiling dark, so the eye reads one bright sphere hanging in space. It is an accent and a reading light, not a room light: a single Pallina beside a bed or over a chair is enough to read by, while a row over an island creates rhythm and sparkle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt uses one compact G9 lamp up to 6W.
