{"product_id":"blackjack-iridium-27-pendant","title":"Iridium 27 in Pendant | Blackjack Lighting","description":"\u003cp\u003eIridium is drawn with light rather than with metal. Eight elongated loops radiate from a slender central hub, each one a band of custom acrylic that carries LED light along its whole length, so the fixture reads as a set of glowing orbits hung in the air. At 26.5 inches across and only 6.5 inches deep, it is a large pendant with almost no visual weight: from below it becomes an eight-pointed star, from the side a ring of overlapping ellipses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe acrylic light guides do the work a shade would normally do. LEDs feed light into their edges and the guides spread it evenly, so the loops glow bright and glare-free with no visible source. The metal is held to a hub, a stem and thin frames, and the finish sets the mood: Etched Gold gives a warm, softly textured glow suited to timber and plaster, while Polished Chrome turns the frame into fine reflective lines that suit glass, marble and black-and-white rooms. Iridium won the 2017 Lighting for Tomorrow Award in the Decorative Lighting category and was named one of the \"30 Most Innovative Products\" for 2018 by the editors of Beautiful Kitchens \u0026amp; Baths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight that draws the form:\u003c\/strong\u003e eight acrylic light guides glow along their full length, so the outline of the fixture is the light itself.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge but airy:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26.5 in (67 cm) across and 6.5 in (16.5 cm) deep, it fills the space over a table without blocking the view.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEven, glare-free output:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2,031 lumens at 3000K and 90 CRI from 42 W, spread evenly by the custom optics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet on a stem:\u003c\/strong\u003e a 42 in adjustable stem kit with a hang-straight swivel holds the rings level;

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\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!\" Iridium is that idea at full scale: there is no bulb to hide at all, only loops of acrylic that carry the light and become the chandelier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the idea behind Iridium?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA chandelier made of orbits of light.
