Nopal Asymmetrical Light Fixture
The Nopal Asymmetrical Light Fixture is a handmade indoor lighting fixture with a metallic frame and a hand-blown frosted glass globe, designed as both a wall sconce and ceiling mount. Its asymmetrical, organic shape is inspired by Mexican landscapes, and it requires one G16 or A15 LED bulb with an E26 base (not included). Measuring 12 by 11 by 6 inches with a 5-inch globe diameter, it is made in Cowansville, Quebec, and is rated for commercial-grade use.

Product Insights
Inspired by the cacti and rock formations of Mexico, the Nopal Asymmetrical Light Fixture from Luminaire Authentik delivers a dim-to-warm glow (2800K to 2000K amber) via any standard dimmer, maintaining CRI 90+ color performance. Its asymmetrical design allows the arm to be oriented upward to emphasize ceiling height or downward to shift visual weight, while the 6-inch projection and 5-inch canopy suit narrow corridors and standard electrical boxes. Hand-blown in Quebec with local materials, each fixture exhibits subtle variations, backed by 100,000 units of experience and commercial-grade cULus certification for durability—volumetric scattering prevents yellowing or peeling. However, the fixture requires a dim-to-warm G16/A15 LED (E26 base) for its signature candle-like effect, and the 1–2 week lead time reflects 8–10 hours of artisan labor per piece.
