The Esa is a 120-volt cord-hung pendant in 2 glass decors. Lamping choices: Incandescent (60W T10 medium-base lamp (sold separately)) or LED (5W LED replaceable LED, dims (in the box)).
The Design Story
The Esa is built around a cylinder of glass. The Esa Clear Pendant is composed of an outer trans glass cylinder, with an interesting dimple pattern blown throughout the glass. Besa’s signature is the glass. Every shade is made by hand and inspected in Ohio before it leaves the factory, so the small variations you see are the mark of a handmade piece, not a flaw.
Why You’ll Love It
It is a pendant with real presence: hang one or a few at their own heights, and cut the cord once to set the height that suits your room.
Made for Real Life
Mounts to a standard 4" round or octagonal ceiling box. works on sloped ceilings. Rating: Damp-rated, indoors only. Shown in Satin Nickel; the glass is identical in Bronze and Black. The details sit in the table below.
