A 13-inch single-light pendant from Dainolite's Emperor collection, finished in matte black with a white laminated fabric shade, designed for kitchen islands and dining rooms.
The Emperor pendant combines a clean matte black canopy and hardware with a softly tapered white fabric shade, creating a warm, diffused glow that suits contemporary interiors. The shade's laminated fabric construction gives it structure while allowing light to filter through gently, making it a versatile choice for task or ambient lighting over a kitchen island, dining table, or in a living area.
Best for
- Kitchen islands 4-6 ft long, hung in a row of two or three for even task lighting
- Dining tables 36-48 in wide, centered as a single statement pendant
- Living rooms with 8-10 ft ceilings, used as a reading or accent light over a side table or desk
- Entryways and foyers with sloped ceilings (adaptable up to 60°), hung at a height that clears the door swing
Not ideal for
- Bathrooms or covered outdoor areas - this fixture is rated for dry locations only
- Spaces with ceilings under 8 ft if you need the full 83-inch drop - the minimum drop is 2 inches, but the canopy adds height
- Primary room lighting in large open-concept spaces over 300 sq ft - a single 60W bulb provides accent rather than full-room illumination
How bright is it?
This pendant accommodates one 60W E26 bulb (not included). With a standard 60W incandescent bulb, it produces approximately 800 lumens - about as bright as a 60W incandescent, suitable for task lighting over a kitchen island or dining table, or as ambient accent in a living room. For a softer glow, use a 40W bulb; for brighter task light, use an LED equivalent up to 60W.
Light color and feel
The white laminated fabric shade diffuses light evenly, reducing glare and creating a soft, warm ambiance. The actual color temperature depends on the bulb you choose - a 2700K-3000K bulb will produce a warm, inviting glow that complements the matte black finish and white shade. The fixture is dimmable with a standard incandescent/halogen dimmer, allowing you to adjust brightness for different moods.
Sizing and fit
The pendant measures 13 inches in diameter and 11 inches in height, with a 72-inch adjustable cord and a 4.5-inch diameter canopy. The drop length can be adjusted from 2 to 83 inches, making it suitable for ceilings 8-10 ft high. The fixture weighs only 2 lbs and is sloped-ceiling adaptable up to 60°.
