Design and constructionThis
suspended ceiling light is built around a simple idea: a clean shade on a hanging cable, finished in black outside and white inside. The black exterior gives the fixture a modern, graphic presence above the counter, while the
white interior brightens the inside of the shade and creates a crisp contrast when the bulb is on. Measuring 8 inches in diameter and 10 inches in height, the LCSUSP-D-10IN-E26 is sized for kitchen islands, tables and counters where a large fixture would feel heavy.
Light quality: you choose the bulbBecause the fixture uses an
E26 socket (compatible with E26/E27 bases according to the spec sheet), the light quality is up to you. Pick an
LED bulb in warm white for a cozy dining atmosphere or a neutral white for a kitchen work area, and match the colour temperature of the rest of your lighting for a consistent look throughout the room. Bulbs are not included. LED bulbs use far less energy than old incandescent bulbs and last much longer, a real advantage for a light that stays on during long meals and homework sessions.
Electrical and installation detailsInstallation is
suspension-mount: the fixture hangs from its cable under a
round canopy, and the total height is adjustable up to 71 inches (1,800 mm). The wiring shown in the installation steps of the spec sheet is simple: the white wire goes to neutral (N) and the black wire to line (L). As with any hardwired fixture, turn the power off at the breaker and have a qualified electrician complete the connection according to the electrical code. Before finishing the installation, check the ideal height above your counter or table with the fixture in place.
Applications and ideasHang one above a small island or a bistro table, or line up several
pendant lights over the island at equal spacing for a rhythm that draws the eye. In a dining room, centre it over the table; in a condo kitchen, use it to define the eating area of an open-plan space. Commercial projects benefit too: café and bakery counters, restaurant booths, hotel breakfast areas, boutique cash desks and reception counters all gain a warm focal point. For a long island that calls for a single linear fixture, the
4' linear suspended luminaire is another option in the same family of
suspended lighting.
