{"product_id":"blackjack-ssm2-96-pendant","title":"SSM2 96 in Pendant Light | Blackjack Lighting","description":"\u003cp\u003eSSM2 is a suspended field of light shaped into a wave. Four hundred Short Frosted pendants hang on fine cables from a square 96-inch canopy, and their lengths are set so that, together, their tips trace a smooth arching curve that dips and rises across the space. From below or from a balcony you read not individual lamps but a single sculptural surface made of points, like a curtain of rain caught mid-motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly the LED makes this possible. Each pendant is a tiny frosted cylinder drawing just 2 W, small and cool enough that hundreds can hang together without visual or thermal clutter, and the drivers are built into the canopy above. Lit, the wave becomes a glowing three-dimensional form that changes as you move around it; unlit, it is a fine, rhythmic installation of cables and points. The finish applies to the canopy faceplates and sockets: Matte Black, White or Polished Chrome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA sculpted wave:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400 frosted pendants with lengths set to form an arching wave about 31.25 in deep.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMonumental scale:\u003c\/strong\u003e sixteen 24 in square canopies form a 96 in (nominal) square, made for atriums, stairwells and lobbies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTiny light points:\u003c\/strong\u003e each Short Frosted pendant uses 2 W and 86 lumens, so the effect is a soft glow, not glare.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eField adjustable:\u003c\/strong\u003e overall height up to 102 in, adjustable on site.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree finishes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matte Black, White or Polished Chrome on faceplates and sockets;

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!\" SSM2 is that idea at full architectural scale: four hundred tiny frosted lights shaped into a single glowing wave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the design idea behind SSM2?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo use hundreds of tiny lights as a drawing medium.
