A 12-inch mini pendant with a mercury glass globe and polished nickel finish, ideal for kitchen islands and dining areas where a single accent light adds vintage-industrial character.
The Athens mini pendant from Innovations Lighting combines a polished nickel canopy and cast brass details with a large mercury glass shade. The 10-foot black textured cord allows flexible placement over islands, counters, or tables. The mercury glass finish shifts from silver to warm gold tones when lit, creating a soft, ambient glow.
Best for
- Kitchen islands 4-6 ft long, hung in a row of two or three for task and ambient lighting
- Dining rooms over a small table (30-36 in round), centered 30-36 in above the tabletop
- Entryways or foyers with 8-10 ft ceilings, used as a single statement pendant
- Covered patios or screened porches (damp-rated construction)
- Open-concept living areas where a row of pendants defines the kitchen zone
Not ideal for
- Spaces with ceilings under 7 ft (minimum hanging height is 16.62 in)
- Primary room lighting in large living rooms or bedrooms (single 1-light pendant provides accent, not full-room illumination)
- Direct outdoor exposure (rated for damp locations only, not wet)
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb you choose. With a standard 60W equivalent LED bulb (800 lumens), this pendant provides comfortable task lighting for a kitchen island or ambient light for a dining area. For a softer glow, use a 40W equivalent (450 lumens). The mercury glass shade diffuses light gently, reducing glare.
Light color and feel
The fixture accepts a single medium-base (E26) bulb. Choose a warm white (2700K-3000K) LED to complement the mercury glass finish and create a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The shade's reflective interior enhances the warm glow. The fixture is not dimmable unless paired with a dimmable bulb and compatible dimmer switch.
Sizing and fit
The shade is 11.75 in wide and 10.62 in tall. Overall fixture height is 13.62 in, with a hanging range of 16.62 to 133.62 in (adjustable via the 10-ft cord). Canopy is 4.75 in diameter and 1 in tall. Works well over islands, counters, and tables with 8-10 ft ceilings.
