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.
