Clear Glass Pendant Lights, Set of 2 — Black and Gold for Kitchen Islands

A pair of clear glass pendant lights in black and gold, built for kitchen islands and dining runs where open sightlines matter. The transparent 8-inch glass shade lets the bulb read as part of the design, so a warm Edison-style filament becomes a focal point rather than a hidden source. Sold as a matched set of two, these pendants give an island a balanced run without the guesswork of pairing finishes from separate orders.

The black-and-gold metalwork sits between farmhouse and industrial, which makes it easy to place against white cabinetry, exposed brick, or warm wood. Each fixture hangs from a 72-inch cord that adjusts at the canopy, so both pendants can be set to the same height or staggered deliberately.

Product Schema

Design Story

Clear glass is an honest material: what you see is the bulb, the socket, and the light it throws. That candor is the intent behind this pair — nothing about the shade competes with the glow it houses, and the design leans on proportion instead of ornament. The 8-inch mouth is wide enough to read as deliberate at a distance but small enough that a row of two does not overwhelm a standard island.

The black-and-gold two-tone finish is achieved by coating the canopy and fittings in a matte black base with gold accents along the collar and stem, a combination that holds contrast without veering into high-polish territory. The glass itself is a single-piece blown shade with an open bottom, which keeps bulb changes straightforward and lets heat escape naturally from the 100W-rated socket above. LIGHTEXP treats this fixture as a framing device: the metal provides the graphic line, the glass disappears, and the bulb supplies the character.

The 72-inch cord adjusts within the canopy, so the ceiling height does not dictate the hanging height — an 8-foot ceiling and a 10-foot ceiling can both carry these pendants at the same distance above a counter.

Where It Works Best

Over a kitchen island. Two pendants spaced evenly over a four- to six-foot island give task light where prep actually happens, and the clear glass keeps the view across the room open — useful in galley kitchens where sightlines run long. Pair them with white shaker cabinetry and a butcher-block or quartz counter, and let a warm 2700K bulb carry the glass. If you are planning spacing and drop height, the Lighting Design Guides walk through island pendant runs step by step.

Over a dining table or breakfast bar. Hung as a pair above a round or small rectangular table, the fixtures replace a single central pendant with two lower, more intimate points of light. This is where a filament bulb earns its place: the visible filament inside clear glass turns dinner light into a small event. Warm wood tables and black metal chairs pick up the gold accents without matching them exactly.

A hallway or entry sequence. In a narrow hall or staircase landing, two clear glass pendants hanging at staggered heights add depth to a space too tight for a chandelier. The Design Inspiration & Ideas section shows vertical arrangements of this kind in residential entries. When you are ready to finish the room, the Full Lighting Collection carries coordinating black-and-gold pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions

How difficult is installation, and what tools do I need?

These are hardwired pendants that mount to a standard ceiling junction box, so they connect to existing household wiring rather than plugging in. The mounting base is compatible with common junction boxes and all required hardware is included, but if you are not comfortable working with a live circuit, an electrician can fit both fixtures in a single short visit. Basic tools — a screwdriver, wire strippers, and a voltage tester — cover the job.

What bulbs and dimmers work with these lights?

Each fixture accepts any E26 standard-base bulb up to 100W, and bulbs are sold separately. The lights dim only when paired with a dimmable bulb and a compatible dimmer switch, neither of which is included. For the clearest look, a dimmable LED filament bulb in clear glass keeps the shade transparent while allowing you to dial the output down for evening use.

What are the dimensions, and how much space do they suit?

The glass shade is 8 inches across, and each pendant hangs from a 72-inch cord that adjusts within the canopy for an overall length up to about 86 inches. That range fits ceilings from roughly 8 to 12 feet while still leaving room to set both pendants at a consistent height above a counter or table. Two fixtures comfortably cover a small island or a compact dining table; a longer surface benefits from a third.

How do I clean and care for the glass and metal?

Turn the fixtures off and let them cool before cleaning. Dust the glass with a dry microfibre cloth, and use a mild glass cleaner on the shade only if needed — avoid spraying directly onto the metal fittings. Wipe the black-and-gold hardware with a soft dry cloth rather than solvents or abrasive pads, which can dull the finish over time.

How are they shipped, and how long does delivery take?

Orders are processed within 3–5 business days. Standard delivery takes 7–15 business days, shipped in protective foam-in-box packaging with tracking provided. Glass shades are individually cushioned to limit movement in transit, and tracking details are sent once your order leaves the warehouse.

What is the return and warranty policy?

Returns are accepted within 30 days on unused items in original packaging. A 24-month warranty covers the structural components and the light module against manufacturing defects under normal residential use. If a shade arrives damaged, photograph the packaging and fixture before installation so a replacement can be arranged.
