Pablo Designs Swell String Single Pendant – Medium, Modular

One module of a light installation you design yourself.

Swell String Single Medium is one module of Pablo’s modular Swell String system: the classic balanced bell, 12 in (30 cm) diameter × 12 in (30 cm) tall, with interconnectable sockets so you can link up to 34 lamps from a single power source. Hang the modules vertically on the included mounting kit (10 ft cable), or horizontally with the optional kit (30 ft cable, up to 12 lamps).

Each module carries a replaceable E26 PAR LED bulb (800 lumens, 3000K, 90 CRI, dimmable), and like every Swell it is damp rated for covered outdoor spaces. The 8 ft power feed cord and canopy are sold separately; one feed powers the whole string.

Who this is not for

• A single stand-alone pendant: choose a Swell Single instead.
• Uncovered wet locations.
• Anyone wanting a plug-in light.

Why we carry it

MetropolitanDecor is an authorized Pablo Designs retailer, curating design-led lighting since 2009. Swell String turns a pendant into a system: you can compose a light installation that fits your space exactly. We carry every module and size.

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.
