{"product_id":"blackjack-swirl-pendant","title":"Swirl Pendant Light | Blackjack Lighting","description":"\u003cp\u003eSwirl is the clearest expression of what Blackjack calls its luminous form approach: the light is not placed inside an object, it is the object. A series of broad, curved bands in Satin Nickel wrap around a central hub, each one twisting slightly as it turns, so together they describe a sphere in motion. The inner face of every band carries a strip of LED light, and when it is lit the sphere seems to spin in a slow spiral of brightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the light lives on the bands themselves, there is no shade, no bulb and no diffuser globe; the openings between the ribbons let you see straight through the form, and the satin metal on the outside stays calm while the inner edges glow. The design is patented (US Patent D730,562S) and has won three major design awards. Made in three sizes, it works as a single sculptural moment over a table or kitchen island at 16 inches, holds a living room at 23, and fills a stair hall or double-height space at 32.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLuminous form:\u003c\/strong\u003e LED light runs along the inside of each curved band, so the structure itself is the light source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA sphere in motion:\u003c\/strong\u003e twisting ribbons of metal wrap a central hub, open between the bands so the form stays airy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecognized design:\u003c\/strong\u003e patented (US Patent D730,562S) and the winner of three major design awards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuality of light:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3000K at 90 CRI, from 1,969 lumens (16 in) to 7,043 lumens (32 in).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle, refined finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Satin Nickel, on an adjustable stem with a hang-straight swivel.\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;\"\u003eSwirl 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;\"\u003eSWL-16P-SN-27U-30K (16 in); SWL-23P-SN-27U-30K (23 in); SWL-32P-SN-27U-30K (32 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\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!\" Swirl is the maker's own showcase of that idea: a patented sphere whose ribbons of metal are themselves the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat makes Swirl distinctive?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe light is built into the structure.
