{"product_id":"blackjack-starburst-pendant","title":"Starburst Pendant Light | Blackjack Lighting","description":"\u003cp\u003eStarburst takes one of the great mid-century lighting gestures, the sputnik, and rebuilds it for LED. Faceted spokes of plated steel radiate from a small central hub in every direction, and at the tip of each spoke a frosted lens glows. There are no bulbs, no sockets and no arms carrying lamps: the spokes themselves are the light fixtures, and the whole object reads as a frozen burst of energy hanging in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe faceted spokes catch and throw back light, so even unlit the fixture sparkles, and when it is on the bright tips trace the outline of a sphere around the hub. Blackjack holds a US design patent on the form (D731,105S). It comes at 29.5 inches across in Polished Chrome, Satin Nickel or Brushed Brass, and at 39.5 inches in Polished Chrome. Chrome is cool and mirror-like, Satin Nickel softer, Brushed Brass warm and decidedly glamorous.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight at the edges:\u003c\/strong\u003e each spoke ends in a glowing tip, so the light outlines the sphere rather than coming from a central lamp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFaceted metal:\u003c\/strong\u003e plated steel spokes with flat facets that reflect the room and the light around them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo scales:\u003c\/strong\u003e 29.5 in (75 cm) or 39.5 in (100.3 cm) across, for a large room or a double-height space.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuality of light:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2,018 lumens (29.5 in) or 2,779 lumens (39.5 in) at 3000K and 90 CRI, with a replaceable light source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePatented form:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blackjack's own design, protected by US Patent D731,105S.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\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\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\u003eStarburst Chandelier\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\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\u003eSTB-29C-PC-27U-30K, STB-29C-SN-27U-30K, STB-29C-BB-27U-30K (29.5 in);

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!\" Starburst shows how far that goes: a classic sputnik rebuilt so that each spoke is itself a slim LED light, with no bulbs at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the idea behind Starburst?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sputnik-style chandelier designed for LED from the start.
