A 12-inch medium pendant from Nuvo Lighting's Tango collection, finished in matte black with burnished brass accents, ideal for kitchen islands, hallways, and dining rooms.
The Tango medium pendant proves that simple style does not have to be boring. Burnished brass accents on the base, cable collar, and canopy add visual pop, while the matte black metal shade features a laser-cut subtle wave pattern for a soft, textured look. This mid-century modern design fits effortlessly into transitional and contemporary interiors.
Best for
- Kitchen islands 4-6 ft long, hung in a row of two or three for task and ambient lighting
- Dining rooms with tables 36-48 in wide, centered 30-36 in above the tabletop
- Hallways and corridors needing a single statement light at 7-8 ft clearance
- Entryways and foyers with 8-9 ft ceilings, used as a welcoming focal point
- Open-concept living areas where a mid-century accent pendant defines a seating or dining zone
Not ideal for
- Bathrooms or covered outdoor areas - rated for dry locations only
- Spaces under 7 ft ceilings - the 18.38 in height may feel too low
- Primary room lighting in large great rooms over 300 sq ft - a single 60W bulb may not provide enough ambient light
How bright is it?
Uses one 60-watt incandescent medium-base bulb (not included). With an equivalent LED bulb, expect 800-900 lumens - about as bright as a standard 60W bulb, suitable for task lighting over a kitchen island or accent lighting in a hallway, but not as a sole light source for a large room.
Light color and feel
Light color depends on the bulb you choose. For a warm, inviting glow, use a 2700K-3000K LED bulb. The laser-cut wave pattern in the shade creates a soft, patterned light effect on surrounding surfaces. Dimmable when used with a dimmable bulb and compatible dimmer switch.
Sizing and fit
Overall dimensions: 12 in wide x 12 in deep x 18.38 in high. The pendant hangs from a single cable with a height-adjustable canopy. Ideal for ceilings 8-9 ft high; for higher ceilings, additional cable length may be needed (not included). Weight: 4.67 lbs.
