Santa & Cole M68 Pendant Light

A wide aluminum dome that puts focused, glare-free light right on the table.

M68 is a dependable choice over dining tables, kitchen islands and café counters. The opaque dome directs light downward and keeps the bulb out of sight, so diners see the table, not the glare. Its four finishes adapt it to Modern, Mid-Century, Scandinavian and Industrial interiors, from homes to restaurants.
