Pablo Designs Circa LED Pendant – Tilting Glare-Free Disc, 12" or 16"

A floating disc of glare-free light that tilts and turns: aim it over a table, a desk or a kitchen island, then dim it to a glow.

Circa Pendant suspends a 12- or 16-inch flat-panel LED disc from a slim aluminum stem on a 10-foot field-cuttable cord. The whole face glows evenly at a warm 2700K with no glare, and the disc tilts 45° and rotates 360°, so you can angle it over a desk or keep it level over a dining table. It is fully dimmable on a compatible wall dimmer. Circa collection won the Summer 2013 NYNOW Accent on Design Award for Excellence in Product Design.
