{"product_id":"blackjack-geodome-pendant","title":"Geodome Pendant Light | Blackjack Lighting","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeodome is about making the most of what is not there. Its 32-inch sphere is built entirely from slender triangular struts, a geodesic lattice with every face left open. There is no shade in the usual sense, only an outline of one: the frame describes a globe while the spaces between the struts do the work a solid surface would normally do, framing the light and letting the room show through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat constructed negative space is a quiet nod to the traditional shade form. Each strut is finished in Matte Black or Polished Chrome on the outside and white on the inside, so when the light at the center comes on, the inner faces catch and reflect it and the whole lattice glows as a web of bright lines. From a distance it reads as a large, airy volume; up close, as a precise piece of geometry. Its scale makes it a natural centerpiece for a double-height living room, a stair void or a generous dining space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNegative space as the shade:\u003c\/strong\u003e a geodesic frame of open triangles suggests a globe without enclosing it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-tone struts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matte Black or Polished Chrome outside, white inside, so the light draws the lattice from within.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArchitectural scale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32 in (81.3 cm) in diameter and height, light in weight to the eye thanks to the open faces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuality of light:\u003c\/strong\u003e the LED version gives 1,737 lumens at 90 CRI, in 3000K as offered here.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo ways to light it:\u003c\/strong\u003e an integrated 23 W LED, or an E26 socket for a bulb of your choice.\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;\"\u003eGeodome Suspended 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;\"\u003eSignature 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;\"\u003eLED: GDM-32A-BW-27U-30K (Matte Black\/White); GDM-32A-PW-27U-30K (Polished Chrome\/White).

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!\" Geodome takes the idea in a sculptural direction, letting an open geodesic frame and its white inner faces shape the light instead of a solid shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the idea behind Geodome?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt replaces the solid shade with its outline.
