The Glide is a 12-volt mini pendant in 3 decors. It is an LED-only fixture: a 3W replaceable dimmable source is included.
The Design Story
A slim concrete tube, 2 inches wide and 4 inches tall, with a lamp tucked inside. Glide is quiet and industrial, in Natural, Tan or White. It is LED only. Besa’s signature is the glass. American designers work with European craftsmen, every shade is made by hand, and each one is inspected in Ohio before it leaves the factory, so the small variations you see are the mark of a handmade piece, not a flaw.
Why You’ll Love It
It is a small pendant with real presence: hang one or a few at their own heights, and cut the cord once to set the height that suits your room.
Made for Real Life
It runs on 12 volts with a transformer included, mounts to a standard 4-inch box (sloped ceilings included), and is made for dry interior rooms. Our photos show the Satin Nickel finish; the shade is the same in Bronze and Black. The details sit in the table below. Pairs well with Skip cord mini pendant, Pogo cord mini pendant, Brio 7 cord mini pendant.
