A compact 8-inch stem pendant from Besa Lighting's Hula 8 collection, finished in satin nickel with a gold-banded glass shade - ideal for kitchen islands, dining nooks, and entryways.
The Hula 8 Pendant features a European glass shade with a radiused gold band that divides upper and lower transparent glass, semi-concealing the light source while casting a warm peripheral glow. Its contemporary design, inspired by farmhouse trends, blends easily into various decor styles. The stem pendant includes an adjustable telescoping section and four connectable stem sections (3", 6", 12", 18") for flexible hanging heights, plus a low-profile flat monopoint canopy.
Best for
- Kitchen islands and breakfast bars, hung in multiples for task and ambient lighting
- Dining rooms and eat-in kitchens, providing focused illumination over tables
- Entryways and foyers, adding a warm welcome with a compact footprint
- Hallways and corridors, used as a series for visual rhythm
- Covered patios and sunrooms, rated for damp locations
Not ideal for
- Large open-plan living areas where a single 8-inch pendant may look undersized
- Bathrooms with direct shower exposure - damp-rated but not wet-rated
- Spaces with ceilings under 7 feet if you need the full stem length
How bright is it?
With a standard 60W A19 bulb (not included), this pendant delivers approximately 800 lumens - comparable to a traditional 60W incandescent, suitable for accent and ambient lighting in smaller areas. For a brighter effect, consider a higher-wattage LED bulb within the fixture's rating.
Light color and feel
The clear glass with gold band creates a warm, inviting glow that flatters wood tones and neutral palettes. If you choose a 2700K-3000K LED bulb, expect a soft, golden light similar to incandescent. The fixture is not dimmable by default, but using a dimmable bulb with a compatible dimmer switch allows you to adjust the mood.
Sizing and fit
Overall dimensions are 8 inches wide, 8 inches deep, and 7.75 inches high (excluding stems). The adjustable stem sections allow hanging lengths from about 12 inches to over 40 inches, making it suitable for ceilings from 8 to 10 feet. The canopy is 5 inches square and 0.62 inches high.
