Pablo Totem Opal Glass Down Light Pendant, Dim-to-Warm LED, Shades A to D

A single-shade pendant with an integrated dim-to-warm LED: hang one over a nook, or cluster several shades over an island or stair.

We pair Totem pendants where a room needs flexible, glare-free light at several heights. Each shade carries its own LED engine and a 10 ft cable that you cut to length on site, so a cluster can be planned around the table, island or stairwell rather than around a fixed canopy. Choose the shade by size, mix them for a staggered cluster, and dim from 2700K toward 2200K for evenings.

Best for / where to use it

• Kitchen islands: a row of one shade size, or a mixed trio, over the counter.
• Dining tables: three over a standard table; five over a long table or for a fuller cluster.
• Stairwells and double-height entries: staggered drops using the long cable.
• Bedside and reading nooks: a single pendant on each side in place of table lamps, where there is a ceiling box.
• Restaurants and boutique hotels: a repeatable fixture with commercial dimming options.

Installation & planning

• Hardwired to a ceiling junction box; use a licensed electrician.
• The 10 ft cable is field-cuttable, so set drop heights after the canopies are mounted.
• Each shade is a separate pendant with its own canopy and LED engine, so allow for a canopy at every drop point.
• Use a TRIAC or ELV dimmer for standard residential circuits; request 0-10V or DALI for commercial control.
• Over a table, a bottom edge about 30 to 36 in above the surface keeps sight lines open.

Who this is not for

• Damp or wet areas: Pablo lists no damp or wet rating.
• Anyone who wants uplight too: this is a down light only; the Up/Down version adds ceiling light.
• Plug-in installs.
• Very low ceilings, where a flush-mounted fixture would be the safer choice.

Frequently asked questions

How many Totem pendants do I need over a 6 ft dining table?

Three is a common starting point for a table of that length, spaced evenly along its center line. Add two more, or choose larger shades, for a fuller cluster.

Can I cut the cable to different lengths?

Yes. The 10 ft (3 m) cable is field-cuttable, so each shade can hang at its own height after installation.

Does the light get warmer when I dim it?

Yes. Pablo lists dim-to-warm from 2700K toward 2200K, so the light shifts to a candle-like tone at low levels.

Which dimmers work with it?

TRIAC and ELV dimmers are compatible. 0-10V and DALI control are available on request, which is useful in commercial projects.

Can I mix shades A, B, C and D in one order?

Yes. Each shade is its own item (TOTE DWN A through D), so you can build a mixed cluster in one purchase.

Is the glass easy to clean?

Switch the power off and let the shade cool. Dust with a soft dry cloth; for a deeper clean, wipe the glass with a damp microfiber cloth and dry it fully.
