Pablo Designs Swell XL Single LED Pendant – Medium, Damp Rated

Undulating spun aluminum with a glowing brass interior, rated for indoors or out.

The Swell XL Medium is a generous, sculptural bell, 18 in (46 cm) diameter × 17 in (43 cm) tall, spun from aluminum and lined in brass so the light leaves the shade with a warm golden cast. A replaceable E26 PAR LED bulb gives 800 lumens of fully dimmable 3000K light at 90 CRI.

Swell is damp rated, so the same pendant can hang over a kitchen island or a covered patio, and it is Dark Sky compliant, directing its light downward. Hang it alone or group several XL shapes as a personal chandelier.

Why we carry it

MetropolitanDecor is an authorized Pablo Designs retailer, curating design-led lighting since 2009. Few designer pendants can move from a dining room to a covered terrace without compromise. Swell does, and its brass interior gives the light real warmth. MetropolitanDecor stocks every Swell size and finish.

Buy once: durability and care

Swell carries a one-year Pablo Designs warranty (bulbs excluded). Our care advice: dust the spun aluminum with a soft dry cloth and wipe the brass interior gently with a barely damp microfiber cloth; outdoors, wipe it down a few times a year. The E26 PAR LED bulb is standard and easy to replace. Hardwired models should be installed by a licensed electrician.
