3-Pack Black Gradient Glass Pendant Lights with Adjustable 34–64 Inch Cords

This 3-pack of black gradient glass pendant lights from LIGHTEXP is for anyone lighting a kitchen island or a long table who wants one matched set instead of three separate purchases. Each fixture hangs from a cord that adjusts between 34 and 64 inches and carries a thick glass shade over a matte black aluminum base.

The gradient does more than decorate. Its darker upper half holds light back at eye level while the clearer lower half passes it onto the surface below, which is why the output reads soft rather than harsh. Bulbs are sold separately, so the E26 lamp and the warmth of the room are your choice.

Product Schema

Design Story

The gradient is applied by hand-baking finish onto thick glass, which produces a gradual transition from near-opaque black at the crown to almost clear at the rim rather than a hard line. That transition is the reason the shade works. A uniformly dark shade throws all of its light straight down in a tight circle; a fully clear one leaves the lamp exposed and glares at seated eye height.

Thick glass was chosen because it withstands the heat a 60W incandescent lamp produces over hours of use, and the baked finish holds its color instead of fading under that heat. The base is aluminum rather than steel because aluminum draws heat away from the socket at the neck of the shade, which is where a glass fixture runs hottest. The canopy and cord are rated beyond what the shade weighs, so a pendant dropped to its full 64 inches hangs plumb rather than drifting.

Within the LIGHTEXP catalogue this set sits between a purely minimal fixture and a decorative one: quiet enough for a kitchen used every day, with one deliberate detail. Three fixtures share a finish, so spacing them along an island reads as a single composition.

Where It Works Best

Kitchen island, three in a row. The set is sized for exactly this: three pendants spaced at even intervals along an island of roughly six to eight feet, hung so the shade rims sit about 30 inches above the counter. Someone chopping vegetables or helping with homework at the island gets even light across the whole worktop without the shadow of their own body falling on it, and the gradient keeps the lamp itself out of view from a stool. Pair with flat-front cabinetry and matte black hardware. Spacing and drop heights for island runs are covered in the Lighting Design Guides.

Double bathroom vanity. Two of the three pendants hung at the short end of the 34-inch adjustment, flanking a mirror rather than sitting over it, put light on the face from both sides instead of from above. Someone shaving or applying makeup sees even color and no downward shadow under the brow, which is what overhead bars and backlit mirrors tend to produce. The glass reads clean against a stone or tiled splashback, and the matte black base ties in with black tapware and towel hardware. The Design Inspiration & Ideas section shows vanity pendants paired with a range of mirror and counter treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does installation require an electrician?

Each pendant is a hardwired ceiling fixture that connects to a standard junction box, so a licensed electrician is the right call unless you are experienced with household wiring. An electrician can hang all three in one visit, and the package includes mounting screws and an instruction sheet. The cords adjust between 34 and 64 inches at the canopy, and the fixtures are compatible with sloped or slanted ceilings.

Which bulbs are compatible, and is it dimmable?

Each fixture takes one E26 standard base bulb: LED up to 28W, or incandescent, CFL, Edison or halogen up to 60W. Bulbs are not included. The pendants dim when they are fitted with a dimmable bulb and used with a compatible wall dimmer switch, and neither the bulb nor the switch comes in the box, so both are selected to match your existing controls.

What are the dimensions, and how much space does the set suit?

The adjustable cord sets the drop anywhere from 34 to 64 inches from the ceiling, which covers standard 8-foot to 10-foot ceilings as well as taller rooms where a longer drop is wanted. Three pendants spaced evenly suit an island or table of about six to eight feet. As a rule, keep roughly 30 inches between the shade rim and the counter or tabletop so the light spreads without putting the lamp in your line of sight.

How do I clean the glass shades?

Switch the fixture off and let the glass cool, then wipe the shade with a dry microfibre cloth or a cloth barely dampened with water and a drop of mild dish soap. Avoid solvent sprays and abrasive pads, which can mark the baked gradient finish. The matte black aluminum base needs only a dry cloth. Because the shade is open at the bottom, dust inside can be reached without removing the fixture.

How long does delivery take, and how is the set packed?

Orders are processed within 3-5 business days and standard delivery takes 7-15 business days, with tracking provided. All three glass shades ship in protective foam-in-box packaging, each shade individually nested so the glass cannot contact glass in transit, and the cords and canopy hardware are bagged separately.

What are the returns and warranty terms?

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery on unused items in original packaging; because the fixtures are sold as a matched set, the three-pack is returned as a set. The 24-month warranty covers structural components and the light module, including the glass shade, cord, canopy and socket assembly, against defects under normal residential use. Bulbs you supply yourself fall under their own manufacturer warranty.
