Pablo Designs Bola Sphere LED Flush Mount – Wall or Ceiling, Warm Dim

Bola Sphere Flush brings the opal glass globe of the Bola collection straight to the ceiling or wall. The globe sits just off a compact 5.3" canopy, so it reads as a floating dot of light, and you can group several sizes on a ceiling or up a stair wall. The integrated 95 CRI LED warm-dims from 2700K to 1800K.

Specifications

Features

• Mounts to a ceiling or a wall
• Seven globe sizes, 4"–16"
• Warm dim 2700K–1800K, 95 CRI
• Compact 5.3" canopy in four finishes
• Groups beautifully in mixed-size clusters

Room fit: where it works best

• Low ceilings: hallways and closets where a pendant would hang too low; the 4"–8" sizes project roughly 5–9".
• Walls: stair runs, bedside reading lights and bathroom mirrors (away from spray).
• Clusters: mix three to seven sizes across a ceiling for a constellation effect.
• Brightness: 290–800 lumens for the small sizes (like a 25–60 W bulb) and 1,625 lumens from 8" up (like a 100 W bulb).

Placement guidance is our general design rule of thumb, not a Pablo specification.

Who this is not for

• Not truly low-profile in the larger sizes: the 16" globe projects about 17" from the ceiling.
• Not for outdoor or shower use: Pablo does not list a damp or wet rating.
• Needs a junction box and an electrician; it is not a plug-in fixture.

Why we carry it

Bola is one of the collections that made us fall for Pablo. We've been curating modern lighting since 2009, and Bola earns its place because the idea is so simple: an opal glass globe paired with mirror-polished metal, so the fixture seems to float and picks up the colors of the room around it. The integrated LED is 95 CRI and warm-dims like candlelight, which is rare at this price, and the family is broad enough to carry one look from the entry to the dining table to the bedside.

Buy once: longevity and care

• Long-life LED: the integrated LED is rated for 50,000 hours and 95 CRI, with a 5-year Pablo LED warranty.
• Care: dust the globe and metal with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Mirror-polished finishes show fingerprints, so handle them with gloves or a cloth; avoid abrasive or ammonia cleaners.
• Warranty: 1-year Pablo Designs product warranty; integrated LED covered for 5 years.

Frequently asked questions

How far does it stick out from the ceiling?

Per Pablo drawings, from about 5.25" for the 4" globe to about 17.25" for the 16" globe, including the canopy.

Can I mount it on a wall?

Yes. Pablo designs Bola Sphere Flush for wall or ceiling mounting.

What does "warm dim" mean?

The light starts at 2700K warm white at full brightness and shifts toward a candle-like 1800K as you dim it, the way an incandescent bulb does.

Which dimmer should I use?

Pablo lists the integrated-LED Bola fixtures as compatible with TRIAC/ELV (forward and reverse phase) and 0–10V dimmers, with DALI available on request. For the smoothest low end we suggest a quality ELV dimmer.

Can I get 3000K instead of warm dim?

Yes. Pablo builds 3000K and 3500K versions on request; they may carry a longer lead time. Choose 3000K where offered, or contact our trade desk.

Can the LED be replaced?

The LED is integrated rather than a screw-in bulb. It is rated for 50,000 hours (about 17 years at 8 hours a day), and Pablo covers it with a 5-year LED warranty.
