light guide with 3M optical technology to create a crystal clear LED pendant which casts a soft circle of
uniform white light and minimizes LED glare. Hang multiple pendants of varying sizes and heights to
create a dramatic display.
Available in multiple finishes, and three standard light guide lengths, VESSEL is for dry interior use.
