A 7-inch single-light pendant with a matte black finish, designed for kitchen islands and dining rooms in a mid-century modern style.
The Bellcap pendant from Nuvo Lighting brings a clean, retro-inspired silhouette to your home. Its matte black finish and simple bell shape make it a versatile choice for both modern and transitional interiors. The fixture is dimmable when used with compatible bulbs and dimmer, allowing you to adjust the ambiance.
Best for
- Kitchen islands 4-6 ft long, hung in a row of two or three for task lighting over a prep zone
- Dining rooms with tables 36-48 in wide, centered 30-34 in above the tabletop
- Entryways or hallways with 8-9 ft ceilings, used as a single statement light
- Breakfast nooks or small eat-in kitchens where a compact pendant is needed
- Open-concept living areas where a consistent mid-century modern look is desired
Not ideal for
- Bathrooms or covered outdoor areas - this fixture is rated for dry locations only
- Spaces with ceilings under 7 ft - the pendant hangs 13.25 in from the ceiling
- Large rooms needing bright, widespread light - this is a single-light accent fixture
How bright is it?
Lumen output depends on the bulb used (not included). With a standard 60W incandescent bulb (approx. 800 lumens), it provides comfortable ambient light for a small to medium area. For task lighting, consider a higher-lumen LED bulb. The fixture is dimmable when used with a compatible dimmer and dimmable bulb.
Light color and feel
Light color is determined by the bulb you choose. A 2700K-3000K warm white bulb will create a cozy, inviting glow that complements the matte black finish. For a more neutral or cool light, choose a 3500K-4000K bulb. The fixture does not specify CRI, but using a high-CRI bulb will improve color rendering.
Sizing and fit
The pendant measures 6.75 in wide and 13.25 in high. It is best suited for ceilings 8-9 ft high. For higher ceilings, you may need to adjust the hanging length (check if the cord/chain is adjustable). The compact size works well in small spaces or grouped over an island.
