Light Archon Taper 8.9 in. Matte Black Cone Pendant with White Opal Glass Shade

The Light Archon Taper is a sculptural cone pendant with a split personality: a bold matte black exterior that anchors the silhouette, and a white opal glass interior that turns the whole shade into a soft luminous surface when lit. At 8.9 in. across it works singly in a reading corner or entry, and in pairs and trios over islands, counters, and dining tables.

Opal glass is the quiet hero here. Instead of a bare-lamp hot spot, the Taper glows evenly across its full surface, cutting glare at seated eye level, which is why designers run it over breakfast bars and kitchen islands. The single E26 socket takes up to 60 watts with A19 LED and incandescent lamps supported, and the fixture dims with a compatible lamp and wall dimmer. The adjustable suspension reaches a 54 in. maximum overall drop below a 4.7 in. canopy that covers a standard listed ceiling box. Dry rated and hardwired to a 120V supply, with the avant-garde profile reading equally modern and updated-traditional.

Frequently Asked Questions

What ceiling box does the Taper need?
A standard listed ceiling box behind the 4.7 in. canopy. The fixture is light enough that no fixture-rated box is called for, and the suspension adjusts the drop to a 54 in. maximum.

How many do I need over an island?
At 8.9 in. wide, plan one fixture per 24 to 30 in. of counter run: pairs suit 5 to 6 ft islands, trios suit 7 to 8 ft. Keep 30 to 36 in. between shade and counter.

Does the black exterior block the light?
No. The opal glass interior carries the output downward and glows through the open mouth, while the black exterior controls glare and keeps the silhouette crisp.
