An 8-light pendant from Nuvo Lighting's Faraday collection, finished in brushed brass for a warm industrial look in kitchens and dining rooms.
The Faraday pendant combines a classic open-frame design with a brushed brass finish, creating a fixture that feels both vintage and contemporary. Its eight exposed bulbs provide ample illumination while the metal frame adds architectural interest. Ideal for larger kitchen islands or dining tables where you want a statement piece that doesn't overwhelm the space.
Best for
- Kitchen islands 6-8 ft long, hung 30-36 in above the counter for task and ambient light
- Dining rooms with tables seating 6-8, centered 30-34 in above the tabletop
- Open-concept living areas where the fixture serves as a visual anchor between kitchen and dining zones
- Spaces with 9-10 ft ceilings to allow proper hanging height without obstruction
- Industrial, modern farmhouse, or transitional interiors that pair brass with neutral or dark tones
Not ideal for
- Small kitchens or islands under 4 ft - the 30-inch width may overpower the space
- Rooms with ceilings under 8 ft - insufficient clearance for safe hanging
- Bathrooms or covered outdoor areas - rated for dry locations only
- Spaces requiring dimmable lighting without a compatible dimmer switch (fixture is lamp-dependent dimmable)
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulbs you choose. With eight standard incandescent or LED medium-base bulbs (not included), you can achieve anywhere from 800 to over 8000 lumens total. For a typical kitchen island, 4000-6000 lumens (using 500-750 lumen bulbs) provides excellent task lighting. The fixture is lamp-dependent dimmable, so you can adjust brightness with compatible dimmer switches and dimmable bulbs.
Light color and feel
Light color is determined by your bulb choice. For a warm, inviting atmosphere similar to traditional incandescent, choose 2700K-3000K LED bulbs. For a more neutral, crisp light suitable for task-oriented kitchens, 3500K-4000K works well. The open-frame design allows light to spread in all directions, minimizing shadows on countertops.
Sizing and fit
The fixture measures 30.13 in wide by 30.13 in deep by 14.25 in high. It is designed for pendant mounting with a canopy and chain (not included). For a standard 9-ft ceiling, allow at least 30-36 in of chain to hang 30-34 in above a table or counter. The fixture weighs 6.26 lbs, requiring a ceiling box rated for at least 10 lbs.
