Know before you buy
Yes, the Switchback Pendant is designed to be compatible with sloped ceilings up to 45 degrees, making it a versatile choice for rooms with vaulted or angled rooflines.
The fixture features an integrated LED system, meaning the light source is built directly into the design. Because it is a dedicated LED, it is not designed to be replaced by the user, but it is engineered for a long lifespan.
The pendant provides 1830 delivered lumens at a 3000K color temperature. This creates a warm, inviting glow that is well-suited for task lighting over kitchen islands or dining tables.
The pendant weighs 19.8 pounds. Due to its weight and dimensions, it is recommended that you ensure your junction box is properly rated to support this load and consult a professional electrician for installation.
Yes, Hubbardton Forge uses environmentally friendly powder coatings for their finishes. These coatings are applied to the hand-forged steel to provide a durable, long-lasting surface that resists wear.
Each piece is handcrafted in Vermont by skilled artisans using traditional metal forging techniques. Because every lamp is made specifically for your order, you receive a unique, high-quality piece of functional art rather than a mass-produced item.
