Die-Cast Aluminum · Caged Glass · Industrial Bulkhead
An industrial pendant in the language of mid-20th-century maritime and factory lighting — a die-cast aluminum bulkhead head with cast junction-box detailing, a wide overhanging brim, and a protective wire cage guarding a clear glass dome below. The proportion is honest and utilitarian, scaled down from the original ship-deck and warehouse fixtures it draws from.
Light passes through clear glass and breaks across the cage bars, throwing a soft striped pattern on walls and counters. Available in six silhouettes (Model A through F) in two finishes — Silver brushed aluminum and Matte Black. Suited to kitchen islands, breakfast nooks, mudrooms, and commercial bars or cafés where industrial character is wanted.

Finish — Choose at Checkout
Silver Aluminum
Brushed natural aluminum tone — reads industrial-utility, suits maritime and warehouse-loft interiors.
Matte Black
Soft matte black for high-contrast modern interiors, restaurants, and dark-toned kitchens.
Die-cast aluminum & clear glass. The aluminum body is cast and machined, with subtle finish variation typical of cast metal. Each glass dome is mouth-blown — minor differences in clarity and thickness are part of the artisanal character. Indoor use only; not rated for direct outdoor exposure.

FAQ
How do I choose between Model A through F? +
Models A and B have wider brims and shorter, fuller domes — better for larger kitchen islands and counter areas. Models C and D are narrow and elongated — best for tighter spots, mudroom alcoves, or hung in clusters. Models E and F are larger statement scales — Model E (∅ 15.7″) is the widest, suited to commercial bars or oversized residential islands.
Is the Bulkhead pendant dimmable? +
Yes, with the right bulb. The fixture takes a single E26 (US) or E27 (EU) screw-base bulb. Install a dimmable LED bulb on a TRIAC wall dimmer and the pendant dims smoothly. Vintage-style Edison filament LEDs work especially well with the industrial look.
Can I use it outdoors or under a covered porch? +
The Bulkhead is rated for indoor use only. While it draws on maritime bulkhead heritage, this version is built for residential and commercial interiors — not for direct outdoor exposure or wet zones. For covered-porch or damp-rated installations, please contact us.
How many should I hang above a kitchen island? +
For islands under 5 ft, a single Model B or F works well. For 5–7 ft islands, two pendants spaced 24–30″ apart. For 7 ft+ islands, three pendants in Model A, C, or D scale. Hang the bottom of the dome 30–36″ above the counter.
What bulb works best with the cage and clear glass? +
Vintage-style Edison LED filament bulbs (ST64, A19, or G80 shape) flatter the industrial cage silhouette — the visible filament reads as part of the design. For a brighter, cleaner look, use a frosted A19 LED in warm white 2700K–3000K.
