{"product_id":"blackjack-cords-snowball-16-pendant","title":"Cords Snowball 16 in Pendant Light | Blackjack Lighting","description":"\u003cp\u003eSnowball is the simplest possible idea for a pendant, carried out with care: a perfect 16-inch sphere of glossy white acrylic hung on a slender stem and cable. There is no visible hardware on the globe beyond a small cap where it meets the stem, so the shape reads as a pure white ball floating in the room. It belongs to Blackjack's Cords family, which builds pendants from a shared kit of canopy, socket, stem and cable, and it brings that kit's precision to the most familiar of shapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glossy finish is what separates it from a frosted school-house globe. Unlit, the surface catches reflections like a ceramic glaze; lit, the acrylic diffuses the bulb into an even, moon-like glow with no hot spot. The 16 in size is the middle size, large enough to hold a dining table or a reading corner on its own and easy to mix with the 12 in and 20 in globes. Hardware and cable come in Matte Black or White: black draws a fine graphic line from ceiling to globe, while white lets the sphere appear to hover with almost nothing holding it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEven, moon-like light:\u003c\/strong\u003e the glossy white acrylic sphere spreads a standard bulb into a soft, uniform glow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePure geometry:\u003c\/strong\u003e a 16 in (40.6 cm) globe on a 12 in stem, with a small cap the only interruption to the sphere.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBulb of your choice:\u003c\/strong\u003e a medium E26 socket for a Type A bulb up to 60 W incandescent or 12 W LED.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable drop:\u003c\/strong\u003e overall height from 26 in (66 cm) to 108 in (274 cm), with field-cuttable cable and optional extra stems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo hardware finishes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matte Black for a crisp line against pale ceilings, or White so the globe seems to float.\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;\"\u003eCords Snowball 16 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;\"\u003eCommercial Series (Cords)\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;\"\u003eCRS-WH-16-BL-BL-SP5 (Matte Black hardware and cable);

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!\" Snowball shows the same respect for the light itself in its simplest form: a single glossy sphere whose whole surface becomes the glow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the idea behind Snowball?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pure sphere with nothing extra.
