A compact 8-inch cord-hung pendant from Innovations Lighting, ideal for kitchen islands, dining nooks, and entryways, finished in matte black with a mercury glass globe.
The Athens pendant brings an industrial edge to modern interiors. Its matte black steel and cast brass frame holds a mercury glass globe that reflects light with a vintage, slightly smoky character. The 10-foot black cord allows flexible hanging heights, and the knurled details on the socket and canopy add a refined, restoration-style touch.
Best for
- Kitchen islands and breakfast bars, hung in a row for task and ambient light
- Dining rooms and eat-in kitchens, centered over a table for focused illumination
- Entryways and foyers, adding a warm welcome with a vintage-industrial accent
- Living rooms and reading corners, providing cozy accent lighting
- Covered patios and porches, thanks to its damp-rated construction
Not ideal for
- Bathrooms with direct shower exposure - damp-rated, but not wet-rated
- Spaces with ceilings under 8 feet if you need the full 10-foot cord extended
- Primary room lighting in large open areas - a single 6-watt bulb is accent-level
How bright is it?
Lumen output is not specified by the manufacturer, but with a recommended 6-watt LED bulb, expect roughly 800 lumens - similar to a 60W incandescent, suitable for accent and ambient lighting rather than as a sole light source.
Light color and feel
Color temperature depends on the bulb you choose. For a warm, inviting glow, select a 2700K-3000K LED. The mercury glass shade diffuses light softly, reducing glare and creating a gentle, atmospheric effect.
Sizing and fit
The pendant measures 8 inches in diameter and 8.25 inches in height, with an adjustable hanging height from 11.25 to 128.25 inches. It fits well over kitchen islands, dining tables, and in entryways with standard or sloped ceilings.
