The hand-blown glass is the reason this fixture exists: at 18 inches across, the orb catches and refracts light in a way that no molded or cast shade can replicate, with organic surface variation and subtle thickness changes that make the illuminated form shimmer slightly at the edges. It is recognizably functional and unmistakably sculptural.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrated 7W LED module produces 533 lumens at 2700K warm white with a 90 CRI — a deliberately warm, flattering output suited to residential dining and social spaces rather than task applications. Universal 120V–277V input makes it equally suitable for residential and commercial specification. Fully dimmable with ELV, TRIAC, and 0-10V systems. The included stems — two 6-inch and four 12-inch, all in coordinating finish — allow hanging height adjustment from 53.9 to 107.9 inches from ceiling to bottom of shade, covering 9-foot to tall double-height ceiling installations comfortably. At 50 pounds, it requires a fixture-rated junction box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNatural Brass develops a warm, deepening patina over time — the longer the fixture lives in a space, the richer the brass tone becomes. Dark Bronze is a stable deep charcoal-brown that reads modern and sophisticated against both white and dark wall surfaces. Either finish pairs naturally with the clear glass, which takes on a warm amber glow when lit against a dim room. For slightly smaller spaces or clustered installations, the Cathedral SLPD315 pendant (10-inch diameter) is the same design at a more compact scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sean Lavin | \u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Visual Comfort \u0026amp; Co. — Modern Collection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight Source:\u003c\/strong\u003e Integrated LED — 7W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLumens:\u003c\/strong\u003e 533 lm (delivered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2700K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCRI:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18\"W × 18\"L × 47.1\"H (fixture only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHanging Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjustable 53.9\" – 107.9\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStems Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e (2) 6\" + (4) 12\" rigid stems, coordinating finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120–277V universal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimming:\u003c\/strong\u003e ELV, TRIAC, and 0-10V compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass hardware; hand-blown glass shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocation Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e ETL Listed, Damp rated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinishes \u0026amp; SKUs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNatural Brass — MD-VCC-SLPD31727CNB\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDark Bronze — MD-VCC-SLPD31727CBZ\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: At 50 pounds, what type of junction box does the Cathedral Large require?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: A fixture-rated (fan-rated) electrical box is required — standard plastic junction boxes are rated for 35 lbs maximum and are not suitable. Consult your electrician before ordering to confirm your ceiling box is rated for fixtures above 35 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does the Cathedral Large work as a solo dining pendant or is it better paired with others?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: At 18 inches diameter, it works very effectively as a solo statement pendant over dining tables up to 48 inches wide, or over a large round table as a centerpiece. For rectangular tables wider than 60 inches or longer kitchen islands, two units in a row or the smaller Cathedral SLPD315 in a cluster of three are proportionally more appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is 533 lumens sufficient for a dining room?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: As a solo pendant, 533 lumens provides ambient and decorative light suitable for dining atmosphere rather than task work. Pair with dimmable sconces or a second pendant for full room coverage. The fixture is fully dimmable — at full brightness it provides pleasing ambient dining light; at 50–70% it creates an intimate restaurant-style atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will the Natural Brass finish look different from the standard Cathedral SLPD315 if both are installed in the same space?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: No — both fixtures share the same Natural Brass finish specification and will match visually when new. Over time, if one fixture ages faster than the other, a brass cleaner applied to both will restore a uniform tone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Visual Comfort \u0026 Co.","offers":[{"title":"Natural Brass","offer_id":47943344980182,"sku":"MD-VCC-SLPD31727CNB","price":3999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark Bronze","offer_id":47943345012950,"sku":"MD-VCC-SLPD31727CBZ","price":3999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/1264\/8406\/files\/Cathedral-X-Large-Clear-Glass-Pendant-Light_Visual-Comfort_Dark-Bronze_1.jpg?v=1773681382","url":"https:\/\/metropolitandecor.com\/products\/large-cathedral-slpd317-pendant-chandelier-by-visual-comfort-co","provider":"MetropolitanDecor.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
