Helium Small 1-Light Chandelier by Peter Bristol for Visual Comfort

The Helium Small 1-Light Chandelier by Peter Bristol is a modern LED chandelier that appears lighter than air. A single frosted glass globe floats on a long, draped black cable from a slim round canopy, one soft sphere with the cable looping down and up to it. It comes in Matte Black.

The Design Story

The Helium series by Peter Bristol is a modern family of lights that appear to be lighter than air. Slightly compressed glass spheres seem to push against the ceiling, as if they might float away if they were not tethered by their cables. A hidden attachment and a low profile canopy let the draped cable and the glowing glass do the work.

Why You'll Love It

Helium Small 1-Light is the smallest in the family and the simplest: one 7 inch glass globe on 18 feet of field-cuttable black cable, 18.1 inches across at its tightest and up to 198.1 inches across when you stretch the cable. It suits a reading corner, a bedside, an entry or a stair, where one glowing sphere does the job of a pendant and the cable draws the line. The integrated LED gives 825 lumens at 2700K and 90 CRI on 10.6 watts, and it dims on ELV, TRIAC and 0-10V dimmers.

Built for Damp Locations

Helium Small 1-Light Chandelier is ETL listed, and Visual Comfort rates it for indoor damp locations and outdoor spaces under cover, such as a covered porch. The body is steel with glass globes, the LED is integrated with a 5-year warranty, and it is Title 24 compliant.

Product Details

Where It Shines

Over a reading chair or a bedside table, in an entry or a stair hall, in a corner that needs one point of warm light, or in a row of single globes along a wall.

Who This Is Not For

Helium Small 1-Light gives 825 lumens from one globe, so it is an accent or a small-space light and not the main light for a dining room or a living room. It is hardwired, and you or your electrician cut the cable to length on site.

Questions We Hear Most

How big is the Helium Small 1-Light Chandelier?

The glass globe is 7 inches wide and 5.7 inches tall, and the round canopy is 5.1 inches across and half an inch deep. The fixture weighs 2.5 pounds. With the cable draped it can span from 18.1 in to 198.1 in.

How is the cable hung?

It ships with 18 feet of field-cuttable black cable. You or your installer drape and cut it to the lengths you want, and the hidden attachment and low profile canopy keep the top clean.

What light source does it use?

It has an integrated LED that gives 825 delivered lumens at 2700K and 90 CRI on 10.6 watts. Visual Comfort rates the LED to L70 over 50,000 hours, so there are no bulbs to change.

How do I dim it?

It dims with most LED compatible ELV, TRIAC and 0-10V dimmers, and it runs on universal 120V to 277V.

Can it go on a sloped ceiling?

Yes. Visual Comfort lists it for sloped ceilings up to 45 degrees. It weighs 2.5 lbs, so have an electrician confirm that the ceiling box can carry the load.

Can I use it outdoors?

Visual Comfort rates it for indoor damp locations and outdoor spaces under cover, such as a covered porch. It is not for fully exposed outdoor use.

Why We Love It

Helium Small 1-Light is one glowing sphere on a drawn black line, light enough to leave a ceiling feeling open.
