Ponte Large Linear Chandelier by Sean Lavin for Visual Comfort

The Ponte Large Linear Chandelier by Sean Lavin is a slim, 50-inch LED linear chandelier: a thin bar with a cylinder light at each end, hung from a single rigid stem. It is only 1.5 inches deep and 5.2 inches tall, so it lights a table from above without hiding it. It comes in Nightshade Black or Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass.

The Design Story

Visual Comfort says the Ponte collection by Sean Lavin was inspired by the Ponte Skyscraper in Johannesburg and celebrates modern architectural design with LED lighting. This linear chandelier carries that idea into a few thin metal lines and two upright cylinders. Visual Comfort calls it a solution for lighting above conference tables, kitchen islands and dining tables, and notes that the whole collection also includes floor and table lamps.

Why You'll Love It

Ponte Large Linear is made for a long table or a wide island. It is 50 inches long, and it gives 1978 lumens at 3000K and 90 CRI from two cylinder lights, so there is real light to eat and work by. It hangs from rigid stems, four of 12 inches and two of 6 inches, so you decide how low it sits, from a minimum height of 15.8 inches up to 77.3 inches overall. It dims on 0-10V, ELV and Triac dimmers.

Built for Damp Locations

Ponte Large Linear Chandelier is ETL listed, and Visual Comfort lists it for indoor damp locations and outdoor spaces under cover, such as a covered porch. The light source is an integrated LED, so there are no bulbs to replace.

Product Details

Where It Shines

Over a dining table, a kitchen island, a conference table or a long console, in homes, restaurants and offices.

Who This Is Not For

Ponte Large Linear hangs from rigid stems at a fixed height and does not swag or adjust on cord. At 50 inches long it suits a table or island of about 75 inches or longer, and for a shorter surface a smaller fixture will look better.

Questions We Hear Most

How big is the Ponte Large Linear Chandelier?

It is 50 inches long, 1.5 inches deep and 5.2 inches tall. Visual Comfort recommends a linear fixture no longer than two thirds of the table or island, so choose it for a surface at least about 75 inches long.

How low or high can it hang?

Visual Comfort lists a minimum height of 15.8 inches and an overall height of 77.3 inches. It ships with four 12-inch and two 6-inch rigid stems in a coordinating finish, so you set the drop with the stems you use. It can go on a sloped ceiling up to 22.5 degrees.

What kind of light does it give?

Two cylinder lights give 1978 delivered lumens at 3000K and 90 CRI using 35.2 watts. The LED source is integrated and rated for 50,000 hours to L70. It dims on most LED-compatible 0-10V, ELV and Triac dimmers and works on 120V to 277V.

Which finish should I choose, Nightshade Black or Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass?

Nightshade Black is a dark, graphic line that nearly disappears against a ceiling. Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass is warm and golden and suits wood, plaster and soft color. Both have the same size and output.

How much does it weigh and what support does it need?

It weighs 5 lbs and hangs from a single rigid stem. Have a qualified electrician confirm that the ceiling box suits the installation before you order.

Can I use it outdoors?

Visual Comfort lists it for indoor damp locations and outdoor spaces under cover, such as a covered porch. It is not for fully exposed outdoor use.

Why We Love It

Ponte Large Linear draws one thin, quiet line of light over a long table or island.
