Product Insights
The Bola Sphere Pendant 6 In by Pablo Designs is a handblown opal glass fixture that delivers 95 CRI color accuracy and automatic dim-to-warm from 2700K to 1800K with standard dimmers, its 12W LED producing 800 lumens at 90% efficiency over a 50,000-hour lifespan, yet the permanently sealed design and opal glass limit light transmission to 40-60%, making it ideal for ambient and accent lighting; the tradeoff is that while the handblown surface and uniform glow offer authentic craftsmanship and no visible hot spot, the brass finish is less durable than matte black or chrome, and the fixture is best appreciated as part of a scalable system of eight globe sizes and multiple finishes for grouped chandelier installations.

Build a custom chandelier grouping of pendants
Use this 6-inch Bola Sphere pendant as one element in a chandelier grouping, mixing globe sizes to suit your space, from a small nook to an expansive atrium. Pablo Designs offers the Bola Sphere in chandelier groupings, and canopy options range from a 17-inch canopy holding up to 7 lamps to a 26-inch canopy holding up to 13 lamps. The pendant also works in linear arrangements if you prefer a row of lights.[1,3,4]
Fitting a pendant to your space or grouping
This 6-inch Bola Sphere Pendant can be chosen on its own for a specific spot, or combined with other globe sizes from the collection to build a chandelier-style grouping for a larger space. The manufacturer describes the range of globe sizes and finish options as suited to everything from a small nook to an expansive atrium, in residential, hospitality, or contract settings. The 8.9-foot cord is field cuttable, so the drop can be trimmed to fit the ceiling height.[1,4]
Dim to a warmer glow for evenings
The Bola Sphere Pendant is fully dimmable, with ELV or 0-10V dimming recommended. Its Dim-to-Warm feature shifts the light from 2700K down to 1800K as it dims, so lowering the brightness gives a warmer, cozier glow for relaxing or winding down.[1]
