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.

A sculptural pendant for home interiors and shared spaces
This LED pendant is designed for cozy home interiors as well as shared living spaces like lounge and reception areas, with residential, contract, and hospitality settings in mind. Its disc reflector mirrors its surroundings to create an illusion of weightlessness, and it is offered in a range of disc sizes with varying light output.[2,4,10]
Warm the room as you dim
This pendant features a Dim-to-Warm function that shifts its light from 2700K down to 1800K as it dims, so evening lighting can feel cozier than full-brightness illumination. It works with TRIAC, ELV, and 0-10V dimmers, and DALI compatibility is available upon request.[1,2]
A pendant that seems to float by blending in
Choose the Bola Disc when you want a ceiling light that reads as a weightless disc rather than a heavy fixture. Its reflective finishes, like Chrome, Brass, Rose Gold, or Gunmetal, mirror and amplify the room around them, while matte colorways give a softer, warmer expression.[1,2]
Choosing a matte finish for a softer, warmer look
If you want the Bola Disc pendant to blend gently into your space rather than mirror its surroundings, its matte colorways offer a softer, warmer expression than the reflective chromatic finishes. The matte range comes in four earth tones—Clay, Moss, Sand, and Taupe—bringing warmth and depth to the collection.[1]
Creating a multi-light grouping with mixed disc sizes
With the Bola Disc Multi-Light configuration, you can group up to 11 lamps in a variety of mixed disc sizes to form what the manufacturer describes as a stunning luminaire display. When installing multiple lamps, the fixtures must be wired in parallel to get the best possible light quality from each lamp.[5,6]
Keeping the Bola Disc pendant clean
To care for the Bola Disc light fixture, wipe it clean with a soft cloth dampened with water, or a mild cleanser if needed. The manufacturer warns that alcohol, solvents, or abrasive cleaners could damage the lamp finish, and ammonia-based cleaners should be avoided.[7,8]
Hanging the Bola Disc pendant in your space
This pendant arrives unassembled, so plan for setup before mounting it over a table or entryway. Handle the disc with the included gloves to avoid finger marks, and leave its protective sleeve on until assembly is complete. The 8-foot lamp wires let you swag the cord from the canopy, though the hang height drops as swag distance increases—with a 5-foot swag, the maximum hang height is 3 feet. The retailer strongly recommends installation by a master electrician.[7,9,10]
