Pablo Swell String Medium Module, Linkable Damp-Rated Pendant, 12 in Spun Aluminum

One linkable module for building long pendant runs over bars, corridors or patios, with up to 34 lamps on a single power source.

We stock Swell String as the building block for custom installations. Each medium module is a 12 in (30 cm) spun aluminum shade with a brass interior that links to the next, so one power feed can run a line of pendants across a restaurant, an atrium or a covered terrace. You order the modules you need plus a power feed.

Frequently asked questions

What parts make up a complete run?

A power feed with canopy, the right kit for a vertical drop or a horizontal run, and the modules. Send us your layout and we will count the parts.

How far apart should the shades hang?

Pablo's drawings show 22 to 28 in (56 to 71 cm) between lamps.

Can I mix Medium, Narrow and Wide modules?

Yes. They link in the same system, so you can vary the shapes along a run.

How many lamps can one power source feed?

Up to 34 lamps, according to Pablo's system notes.

Is the bulb replaceable?

Yes. It takes a Satco 11 W LED PAR30 with an E26 base, and one comes with each module.

Why is the finish listed as two parts?

The first part is the outside and the second is the interior. All three options have a brass interior.
