Barely 3 inches deep, with a 2995-lumen dimmable LED inside and a small center cap in satin nickel, black or bronze.
The Design Story
Nimbus is named for the cloud it resembles. Besa blows the opal glass into a gentle toroid shape, then etches the outer layer until it is satin smooth, so the light spreads evenly with no hot spot. 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 quiet, bright and nearly flat. Nimbus 16 is the larger size, bright enough to be the main light in a bedroom, kitchen or living room, and the cap lets you echo the metals already in the room.
Made for Real Life
The 34W LED is built in and dimmable (about 2995 lumens at a warm 3000K), it is damp rated for indoor rooms, and Besa also lists it as an ADA-compliant wall sconce. Pairs well with Nimbus 10 (smaller), Tuca 19 foil ring flush mount, Tango 15 double glass flush mount.
