The Bascula Counterbalance Pendant Light features a kinetic suspension mechanism designed for residential dining spaces, kitchen islands, and creative work studios. Built around a matte steel counterbalance arm and a sculpted red counterweight, this fixture suspends a 23.6-inch (60 cm) ultra-thin acrylic disc shade and reflector that delivers focused downlight across a 54 to 130 square foot area. Powered by an integrated 3000K warm white LED module with Ra95 color fidelity, the system operates on AC 111–240V. Its dual-suspension cable supports ceiling heights up to 9.8 feet, providing stable poise for indoor ceiling installations.

Even when switched off on sunny afternoons the suspended steel arm and crimson ball look like a modern kinetic mobile hanging in the room. Stunning all day long.
B
From the sleek steel counterbalance arm to the sculptural crimson weight and gorgeous warm light this pendant exceeded every single expectation. An absolute masterpiece.
Thank you Brittany - knowing the Bascula counterbalance pendant became the crowning joy of your dining room makes our whole team proud.
A
If you appreciate Italian design from the eighties and nineties this lamp is an absolute dream. It brings bold artistic intelligence into our home.
Thank you Andrew - honoring Italian postmodern design intelligence with modern LED reliability was our greatest design joy.
R
The ceiling mounting plates pulled completely flush against our ceiling drywall without leaving gaps. The wire suspension was very simple to lock in.
J
Zero buzzing or coil hum when switched on in our quiet home. The light output is completely steady and flicker-free throughout long evenings.
N
We have hosted multiple weekend lunches and every guest has commented on the floating red counterweight and asked where we found this. An absolute conversation starter.
T
The pendant looks stunning and works perfectly. During ceiling cable adjustment one gripper collar took a firm press with my thumb to release the wire smoothly.
R
A quick wipe with a dry lint-free microfiber cloth across the acrylic reflector keeps it completely dust-free. Dust does not cling to the smooth matte surface.
Thank you Ryan - a gentle pass with a dry microfiber cloth is always the best way to keep the acrylic reflector pristine.
M
The Ra95 LED makes our tabletop food and flower centerpieces look rich and vibrant. You can tell this fixture uses premium full-spectrum optical modules.
D
Was nervous about a large acrylic disc and long counterbalance arm traveling across states. The packaging had thick dense foam cradling every piece and arrived completely unblemished.
L
The fixture quality is outstanding and our electrician mounted it in thirty-five minutes. The printed diagram on the insert had somewhat small illustrations for the ceiling cable grippers.
Laura thank you for the feedback on the printed insert. We are currently enlarging our installation diagrams for clearer step-by-step guidance.
K
Tapped the balance arm during installation and the steel structure feels very rigid and well engineered. No flimsy hollow piping. Holds its counterbalance angle securely.
Thank you Kevin - heavy-duty steel engineering ensures your counterbalance arm stays perfectly calibrated without shifting over time.
S
The twenty-four inch disc diameter is perfectly proportioned over our four-seat round table. It defines the dining zone with sleek minimalist lines while feeling remarkably light visually.
B
The integrated LED reflects off the sculpted acrylic disc so softly. It casts a wide generous pool of warm light across our tabletop without any direct bulb glare in your eyes when seated.
Thank you Brian - engineering the sculpted acrylic reflector to bounce warm glare-free illumination over dining tables was our priority.
A
The counterbalance looks magnificent once dialed in but take your time adjusting the two ceiling cables during installation so the disc and red weight balance at your desired tilt angle.
M
We wanted lighting that had real architectural movement and personality. The way this fixture tilts and balances in space creates such an inspiring focal point over our design conference table.
Thank you Michael - capturing Italian postmodern kinetic poise and balanced movement was the exact inspiration behind Bascula.
J
Hung the Bascula above our dining table and the kinetic counterbalance arm looks like an Italian design museum installation. That sculpted red ball counterweight steals the show while the 60cm disc floats so gracefully.
