A polished nickel mini pendant with a mercury glass globe, ideal for kitchen islands and dining areas where you want a vintage-industrial accent.
The Athens mini pendant from Innovations Lighting combines industrial style with refined detailing. The polished nickel finish and mercury glass shade create a warm, reflective glow that suits modern, transitional, and restoration-vintage interiors. The 10-foot black textured cord allows for flexible hanging heights, and the fixture is damp-rated for use in bathrooms or covered patios.
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 or breakfast nook, centered above a 36-48 in table
- Bathroom vanities or powder rooms as a single accent light (damp-rated)
- Covered patios or entryways where a damp-rated fixture is needed
- Hallways or foyers with 8-10 ft ceilings, hung as a single statement piece
Not ideal for
- Large open-plan spaces needing bright primary light (this is a 1-light accent pendant)
- Ceilings under 7 ft due to the 13-inch minimum hanging height
- Outdoor areas exposed to direct rain (damp-rated, not wet-rated)
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb you choose. With a recommended 60W ST64 vintage bulb, expect about 800 lumens—similar to a standard 60W incandescent, ideal for accent or task lighting over a counter or table. For a softer glow, use a lower-wattage bulb.
Light color and feel
The mercury glass shade diffuses light softly, creating a warm, ambient glow. Use a 2700K-3000K bulb for a cozy, vintage feel that complements warm metals and wood tones. The fixture is dimmable when used with a compatible dimmer and dimmable bulbs.
Sizing and fit
The pendant measures 8 inches wide and 10 inches high, with a 7-inch tall shade. The adjustable hanging height ranges from 13 to 130 inches (including the 10-foot cord). The canopy is 4.75 inches in diameter. Suitable for rooms with 8-10 ft ceilings; for higher ceilings, the long cord allows placement at the desired height.
