A clear glass sphere pendant light for kitchen islands and dining rooms, finished in clear glass with an industrial look.
The Ballston Collection's Beacon pendant features a 10-inch clear glass sphere that showcases the bulb, creating a simple yet striking industrial silhouette. The transparent glass allows the light to shine through unobstructed, making it a versatile choice for modern, contemporary, or transitional spaces. Rated for damp locations, it can also be used in covered outdoor areas.
Best for
- Kitchen islands 6-8 ft long, hung in a row of two or three for task and ambient lighting
- Dining rooms with tables 48-72 in long, centered above the table
- Covered patios or porches where damp-rated fixtures are required
- Entryways with 8-10 ft ceilings, hung as a single statement piece
Not ideal for
- Spaces with ceilings under 7 ft, as the pendant hangs down and may obstruct headroom
- Bathrooms with direct shower exposure (damp-rated, not wet-rated)
- Rooms where you need a soft, diffused glow—the clear glass shows the bulb directly
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb used (not included). The fixture accepts one medium-base bulb up to 60W incandescent or equivalent LED. With a 60W incandescent, expect about 800 lumens—similar to a standard table lamp, suitable for ambient or task lighting in a medium-sized room.
Light color and feel
Choose your bulb's color temperature. For a warm, cozy feel, use a 2700K-3000K bulb. For a cooler, more energizing light, use 3500K-4000K. The clear glass does not alter the bulb's color, so the light output is true to the bulb.
Sizing and fit
The pendant measures 10 inches in diameter and 9 inches high. It hangs from a cord (not included, typically 6-12 ft) and requires a 2.125-inch hole for mounting. Suitable for ceilings 8 ft or higher.
