Entry DescriptionThe small aperture 3-inch and 4-inch pendants add a decorative layer of light to any space with three distinctive shade designs that complement each other, giving designers distinctive solutions for architecturally demanding indoor and outdoor spaces.
Available in Narrow, Medium and Wide shade distributions and in multiple lengths, the 15 performance Decorative Pendants provide the same high-output execution as all of the company’s cylinders – up to 3000 lumens.
The Pendants feature concealed hardware, allowing the high-quality die-cast aluminum shades to seamlessly integrate into the pendant, resulting in a sleek and symmetrical aesthetic. The shadowless uplight option allows for direct and indirect lighting from a single pendant.
Uniquely, the pendants feature embedded drivers within the pendant, allowing for dimming down to 0.1%, while eliminating the need to locate any components above the canopy for easy serviceability with below ceiling access. This is ideal for open ceilings or shallow plenums installations or any application where saving space is a priority.
The modular design features tool-less, field-changeable optics for the ultimate in flexibility and onsite adjustments (multiple beam spread choices).
A full range of color temperatures include Warm Dim (3000K–1800K), and Tunable White (4000K–1800K and 6500K–2700K). Lumen outputs range from 750 to 3000 lumens.
