{"product_id":"blackjack-milo-vanity-light","title":"Milo Vanity Light | Blackjack Lighting","description":"\u003cp\u003eMilo is a vanity light reduced to two parts: a long frosted tube and a small metal plate that holds it. The tube is a 2-inch cylinder of frosted acrylic running the width of the mirror; the plate is a 5-inch piece of stamped steel in Satin Nickel that wraps the tube at its centre and fixes it to the wall. There are no end caps to speak of, no arms and no exposed lamps, just a clean horizontal line of light with a neat clasp in the middle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrated LED is what lets the tube glow so evenly. A continuous strip runs inside the full length of the acrylic, so the whole cylinder lights uniformly with no hot spots or shadows from sockets, and the round section throws soft light both forward onto the face and up and down the wall. It is a modest object, but a precise one: the contrast of the milky tube against the satin metal is what gives it its quiet, contemporary character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEven, face-friendly light:\u003c\/strong\u003e a fully frosted acrylic tube glows from end to end, spreading light softly across the face and wall.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine and clasp:\u003c\/strong\u003e a 2 in (5 cm) tube centred on a 5 in (12.7 cm) stamped steel plate, the only visible hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo widths:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 in (61 cm) or 36 in (91 cm), both 5 in wide and 4 in deep, to suit a single or a double basin mirror.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo backplates:\u003c\/strong\u003e a 4.6 in shallow backplate with the driver in the junction box, or a deeper backplate that houses the driver.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSatin Nickel:\u003c\/strong\u003e a soft brushed metal that reads well with chrome or nickel taps without competing with them.\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;\"\u003eMilo vanity\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;\"\u003e24 in: MLO-24V-SN-12T-30K-SO-DB, MLO-24V-SN-12T-30K-SO-S4, MLO-24V-SN-27U-30K-SO-DB. 36 in: MLO-36V-SN-12T-30K-SO-DB, MLO-36V-SN-12T-30K-SO-S4, MLO-36V-SN-27U-30K-SO-DB.

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!\" Milo is that slim rod at the mirror: one evenly lit frosted tube held by a single satin clasp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the design idea behind Milo?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA vanity light made from one continuous frosted tube and one small metal clasp.
