Product Insights
The Bola Disc Light Fixture by Pablo Designs creates a floating optical illusion through chromatic disc finishes that mirror the ceiling, while matte finishes offer a more grounded look; this effect is enhanced by a single-cord suspension and proportional scaling that allows mixing multiple disc sizes in clusters. The opal glass globe diffuses light evenly, concealing an integrated LED that warm dims from 2700K to 1800K with 95 CRI for accurate color. Reflective finishes require prompt cleaning to avoid fingerprints, and the non-user-replaceable LED lasts 50,000 hours, after which the fixture must be replaced. At $694 CAD, it undercuts many designer pendants by 30-50% while offering specifications typical of $1,000+ fixtures, including compatibility with TRIAC, ELV, 0-10V, and DALI dimmers and support for up to 11 pendants in mixed sizes via a single canopy.
