An 8-inch seeded glass sphere from the Ballston Collection, this shade adds texture and vintage charm to pendant lights and ceiling fixtures.
Part of Innovations Lighting's Ballston Collection, this glass shade features a seeded glass texture that diffuses light beautifully, creating a warm, ambient glow. The sphere shape and industrial-vintage style make it a versatile choice for kitchens, dining areas, and covered porches. Rated for damp locations, it suits spaces with humidity.
Best for
- Kitchen islands and breakfast bars, hung in multiples over a counter for a farmhouse feel
- Dining rooms and eat-in kitchens, as a statement pendant above a table
- Covered porches and patios, thanks to its damp location rating
- Entryways and hallways, adding a warm, vintage-inspired glow
- Bathrooms and powder rooms, where damp-rated fixtures are recommended
Not ideal for
- Directly exposed outdoor areas without cover, as it is only rated for damp locations
- Spaces requiring a fully enclosed shade, as the open bottom exposes the bulb
- Very large rooms where a single 8-inch shade may look undersized
