Product Insights
The 120 Hanging Lamp by Anony is a modular pendant system with four globe sizes (4.75–12 in) and individually adjustable 10-ft cables, enabling customized clusters over a standard kitchen island. Its frosted glass and 3000K LED provide uniform, dimmable light with 90 CRI, diffused to 85–90% for a soft, hotspot-free glow. The main tradeoff: each pendant requires its own junction box or a third-party plate for consolidation, and the acid-etched glass is permanently damaged by acidic cleaners. Assembled in Toronto with cETLus certification, it offers component-level disassembly and scalable arrangements.

Deep Research
How it stacks up against similar minimalist pendants
- The cETLus listing certifies the entire fixture — not just the LED driver — to both U.S. and Canadian electrical safety standards, which satisfies residential code inspectors and insurance carriers in a way that uncertified imported pendants often cannot.
- The globe’s modest 4.75-inch diameter makes it especially suited to clustering: three or five pendants can be grouped over a standard kitchen island without visual crowding, whereas many designer glass pendants start at 8 inches, forcing wider spacing that often leaves dark gaps between fixtures.
- The acid-etched finish on the milky white glass diffuses the 220-lumen LED into a soft, uniform glow free of the glaring hotspots and visible bulb filaments that clear-glass pendants typically produce, making it a more comfortable choice for eye-level installation over a dining table or kitchen island.
- At 10 feet, the included cable is roughly twice the length of the cords that ship with most sub-$300 pendants, eliminating the need for an extension kit when suspending the light from a vaulted ceiling or dropping it low over a sitting area; the excess simply feeds into the canopy, preserving a clean look.
Creating your own clustered arrangement
- Each fixture comes with a compact 4.5-inch aluminum canopy, which means a custom cluster requires one junction box per light — this gives you precise control over spacing and allows organic, asymmetrical layouts that a single large canopy cannot accommodate.
- The acid-etched frosted glass and 3000K LED are identical across all sizes, so any cluster — whether mixing diameters or counts — reads as a unified wash of soft, warm light without color or diffusion mismatches.
- The 10-foot cable on each pendant can be shortened at the canopy, so you can set every globe in a cluster to a different drop length for a cascading, sculptural installation rather than a uniform flat plane.
- For those wanting a single ceiling penetration, a third-party multi-port canopy plate can consolidate several pendants onto one junction box while retaining the individual canopies' clean look — a standard aftermarket solution that Anony does not supply but fully supports through the fixture's standard wiring.
How the acid-etched glass creates soft light
- The uniformly etched surface scatters light across the entire globe, eliminating the harsh focal 'hot spot' directly below the bulb that clear or lightly frosted glass can produce, so the pendant casts a soft, even glow suited to ambient lighting over a dining table or bedside.
- Unlike sandblasted glass, which has a rough, pitted surface, the acid-etched globe is smooth and silky—it feels luxurious to the hand and is far less prone to catching dust or showing fingerprints when the pendant is handled during installation or cleaning.
- Because the frosting is achieved by chemically dissolving the glass surface rather than applying a film or coating, the matte appearance is intrinsically part of the globe—it won't delaminate, yellow, or wear away over time, even in humid environments.
- Acid-etched glass preserves more light output than sandblasted or opal glass, transmitting up to 85–90% of incident light—meaning the 120 Pendant delivers a brighter glow from its 230-lumen bulb than an equivalent-sized sandblasted shade would, while still fully obscuring the bulb.
- The etched finish is permanent but chemically sensitive to acids—cleaning with vinegar, citrus, or aggressive glass sprays eats into the frosted layer, so routine maintenance should be limited to a soft cloth, warm water, and at most a mild, pH-neutral soap.
The Anony design ethos and the 120 lamp
- Every Glass 120 is assembled through Anony’s network of Toronto fabricators — a rejection of offshore mass production that the founders prioritized from day one, spending over a year sourcing local specialists before debuting their first collection in 2017.
- The Glass 120 is constructed so that the glass globe, aluminum canopy, and G4 LED bulb remain entirely separable — a physical manifestation of Anony’s core principle that lighting should be serviceable at the component level, not fused into a landfill-bound unit when one part fails.
- The Glass 120 is sold in four globe diameters (4.75 to 12 inches) and designed to be clustered, giving a buyer the open-ended freedom to compose their own sculptural arrangement across a hallway, kitchen island, or dining table — a deliberate design decision that turns a minimalist sphere into an architectural tool.
- The pendant’s matter-of-fact name — Glass 120 — reduces the product to its 120‑millimetre globe diameter, a naming strategy that telegraphs Anony’s essentialist ideal: a lamp that earns its place through dimension and material rather than marketing.
- Anony treats light as something that should shape a room without drawing attention to the fixture itself; the Glass 120's acid-etched globe diffuses the 3000K LED into a soft, even glow that aligns with the studio's principle of designing lighting that feels ‘invisible’ once installed.
- Christian Lo and David Ryan launched Anony in 2017 after becoming frustrated by lighting that was both unaffordable and aesthetically out of touch, deliberately building a studio around local Toronto production and high-end LED tech at accessible prices — the Glass 120’s $375–$428 CAD range sits well below the custom-lighting market the founders themselves couldn’t afford.
Replacing the G4 bulb and long-term care
- The acid-etched glass globe relies on a bulb that radiates light in all directions to achieve a seamless, shadow-free glow; the factory bulb has a 360° beam angle, and substituting a flat-PCB G4 LED — which can drop light output by 50–70% at the sides — will create visible bright and dark zones inside the sphere.
- The included bulb is specifically designed to cooperate with magnetic and electronic low-voltage dimmers, but many dimmable G4 LEDs on the market only work with trailing-edge or PWM controls — a mismatch that produces buzzing, flickering, or complete dimming failure; the Lightology listing specifies “Dimmer: Low Voltage Electronic,” so select bulbs with explicit MLV and ELV support to preserve smooth dimming.
- Anony’s own replacement bulb measures 10mm in diameter and 28mm in height, essentially a T4 capsule; while the 120mm globe could physically accommodate slightly larger bulbs, sticking to this compact envelope ensures the filament-equivalent LED stays centered and evenly illuminates the frosted glass without protruding into the lower hemisphere.

Documents & Data
Q&A
4 answered- Is the included LED bulb dimmable, and if so, what type of dimmer switch is recommended?
- Yes, the included G4 LED bulb is dimmable. We recommend using a magnetic low voltage (MLV) or electronic low voltage (ELV) dimmer, as the bulb is compatible with most systems of that type [1].
- What are the exact wattage and lumen output of the included bulb?
- The included bulb for the 4.75" globe size is a 1.8W G4 LED lamp (120V) producing 230 lumens with a color rendering index of 90CRI [2]. (Some configurations may use a 2W/540lm bulb, but the listed specs for this size are 1.8W/230lm.)
- Is the globe hand-blown glass, and are there any natural variations in the glass due to the handmade process?
- The globe is not hand-blown; it is acid-etched glass produced through a controlled manufacturing process [3]. While subtle variations can occur in production, they are minimal and not characteristic of hand-blown glass.
- How is the cable length adjusted? Can it be cut to a specific length, or is there a mechanism for adjusting the height?
- The cable is adjustable in length – simply feed the excess cable through the canopy and secure it with the internal set screw. It is not intended to be cut; the full 10-foot cable remains hidden inside the canopy. This allows you to fine-tune the hanging height to your preference.
