{"product_id":"blackjack-velo-pendant","title":"Velo Pendant Light | Blackjack Lighting","description":"\u003cp\u003eVelo is a glass cylinder with a line of light at its heart. A clear, hand-blown glass drum, 5.5 inches across and 6.5 inches tall, hangs from a slim socket; down its center runs a narrow glowing rod just over an inch wide. There is no bulb and no shade, only the glass and the light, and you can see straight through one to the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the glass is clear, Velo changes with its surroundings. Against a dark wall it holds a single bright filament of light inside a glinting outline; against daylight it nearly disappears. The rod is a tall clear diffuser lit by an integrated LED, so the light is soft and even along its length rather than concentrated in a point. The small socket and canopy come in Matte Black or Polished Chrome, giving either a sharp dark accent or a quiet flash of metal above the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight within glass:\u003c\/strong\u003e a slim, tall diffuser glows inside a clear glass cylinder, so the light is framed rather than hidden.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand-blown glass:\u003c\/strong\u003e each cylinder is clear hand-blown glass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCalm proportion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5 in (14 cm) wide by 6.5 in (16.5 cm) tall, with a 1.1 in (2.8 cm) light rod and a 2 in (5.1 cm) socket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 W and 133 lumens for single canopies, or 2 W and 86 lumens for Multi-Port and JackTrack groups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour mountings:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 in canopy with integrated driver, 2.5 in fascia canopy, Multi-Port connector or JackTrack adapter.\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\u003eVelo 5 in Glass Pendant (clear glass with tall clear diffuser)\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\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\u003eSP-VEL-CC-05-[finish]-30K-[watts]-[mounting];

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!\" Velo puts it on display: a slim rod of LED light standing inside clear glass, with nothing in the way between the eye and the source.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the idea behind Velo?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo show the light rather than hide it.
