{"product_id":"blackjack-a-lamp-pendant","title":"A-Lamp Pendant Light | Blackjack Lighting","description":"\u003cp\u003eA-Lamp takes the most familiar shape in lighting, the pear-shaped household bulb, and turns it into a drawing. The outline is laser-etched inside a solid cylinder of cast acrylic just 2.5 inches across and 4 inches tall. Unlit, the cylinder is clear and the bulb is a faint ghost suspended in it; switched on, a small LED in the cap sends light down through the acrylic, every etched line catches it, and the bulb seems to be made of light itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a small object with a clear idea behind it. The filament bulb survives only as an image, while the real source is a 3-watt LED hidden in the socket cap, so nothing hot or bright is exposed. Hung alone it reads up close as a witty detail; hung in numbers at staggered heights it becomes a cloud of floating outlines. The cap comes in Matte Black for a sharp graphic accent, White for a softer gallery look, or Polished Chrome, which recalls the metal base of an old bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight drawn in acrylic:\u003c\/strong\u003e the etched A-lamp outline glows from within the light guide, a decorative, low-glare effect instead of a bare source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall, repeatable scale:\u003c\/strong\u003e a 2.5 in (6.4 cm) by 4 in (10.2 cm) body under a 2 in (5.1 cm) cap, sized to be grouped.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConcealed optics:\u003c\/strong\u003e the LED sits entirely in the cap and is replaceable, so the acrylic stays clear and uncluttered.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable drop:\u003c\/strong\u003e a 96 in cable lets the pendant hang from 7 in to 102 in, so clusters can be composed in layers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree cap finishes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matte Black, White and Polished Chrome change the character from graphic to quiet to retro.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width:36%;min-width:170px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;padding:6px 12px 6px 0;\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"vertical-align:top;padding:6px 0;\"\u003eBlackjack Lighting, Buffalo Grove, Illinois\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width:36%;min-width:170px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;padding:6px 12px 6px 0;\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"vertical-align:top;padding:6px 0;\"\u003eA-Lamp Light Guide Pendant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width:36%;min-width:170px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;padding:6px 12px 6px 0;\"\u003eSeries\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"vertical-align:top;padding:6px 0;\"\u003eSpec Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width:36%;min-width:170px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;padding:6px 12px 6px 0;\"\u003ePart numbers\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"vertical-align:top;padding:6px 0;\"\u003eSP-LGD-AL-03-BL-30K-3W-SP5 (Matte Black);

Trained in industrial design at Syracuse University, Blackman began his lighting career in 1984 at Sonneman Design Group, then founded Blackman Design Associates in 1988, designing decorative and architectural lighting for manufacturers including Kichler. He launched Blackjack in 2013 in suburban Chicago, now based in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, to build fixtures conceived for LED from the first sketch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis argument is that the LED should change the shape of a light, not just its efficiency. Rather than hiding a new source inside old bulb-and-shade forms, Blackjack designs around the small, flat, cool-running LED: thin discs, slim rods, glowing rings and lenses that let the light itself become the object. In his own words, \"Decorative lighting by its nature is not primarily about optimizing lamp efficiency, it is primarily about decoration!\" A-Lamp makes that point with a wink: the bulb it replaces survives only as a drawing of light inside clear acrylic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the idea behind A-Lamp?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt keeps the image of the classic household bulb but not the bulb itself.
