Mina Alabaster Small Pendant by Sean Lavin for Visual Comfort

The Mina Alabaster Small Pendant by Sean Lavin is a single laser-etched alabaster sphere that seems to float on a black cord, lit by an LED hidden in the socket above it. It comes in Black or Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass, with a choice of color temperature.

The Design Story

Sean Lavin's Mina series is built around a single idea: a perfect alabaster sphere that seems to float. Each globe is etched by laser to bring out the stone's veining, and the LED sits hidden in the socket above it, firing downward so the light lands on the surface below while the stone glows. Visual Comfort describes the small size as a bounty of task light onto surfaces below, in a pendant that is highly customizable in cord colour, finish and lamping.

Why You'll Love It

Mina Alabaster Small is made for a counter, a bedside, a bar, a nook or a row over a table, where you want a small stone sphere with a clear downward light. The cord ships at 12 feet and you cut it on site, with a minimum height of 14 inches. It includes a 9 watt LED module at 3000K, or you can choose the 3000K-2200K warm dim option that warms as you dim.

Alabaster, Cord and Socket

The sphere is natural alabaster, laser-etched to bring out the veining. The socket housing comes in Black or Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass on a black cloth cord, and the LED module sits in the socket, so there is no bulb to replace. Visual Comfort does not list a damp or outdoor rating for this pendant, so use it indoors.

Product Details

Where It Shines

Over a kitchen counter or a bar, beside a bed, in a nook, or in a row or a cluster at different heights over a table.

Who This Is Not For

At 118 lumens a single Mina Small is a soft glow with focused downward light, not a main source of light for a room. Alabaster is a natural stone, so colour and veining vary from sphere to sphere. Plan separate task lighting where you need it, and use it indoors.

Questions We Hear Most

How big is the Mina Alabaster Small Pendant?

The alabaster sphere is 5 inches wide and deep, and the whole pendant is 7.6 inches tall. It weighs 7 pounds.

How low or high can it hang?

The minimum height is 14 inches. It ships with 12 feet of black cloth cord that you cut to length on site, so you can set the drop to suit the room.

Which color temperature should I choose?

3000K is a clean, warm white. The 3000K-2200K warm dim option starts at 3000K and warms toward 2200K as you dim it, like an incandescent bulb. Both use the same fixture and finish options.

Can I dim it?

Yes. Visual Comfort lists it for most LED-compatible ELV or TRIAC dimmers.

Is the alabaster the same on every sphere?

No. Alabaster is a natural stone, so variations in color and veining are expected, and that is part of its charm.

What finishes does it come in?

Black or Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass on the socket housing, both with a black cloth cord and a laser-etched alabaster sphere.
