Every month, TEKA Illumination's Customer Service Team will answer your Frequently Asked Questions.  This month, we've asked Customer Service Manager Tricia McGrath to answer the following FAQ:

QUESTION: What is the largest standard pendant fixture available from TEKA?

ANSWER: The largest pendant, stem-mounted fixture currently offered as a standard product is the Large Beacon Stem (LBS) which has a pure copper shade diameter of 27", with stem lengths up to 10' long. The fixture itself measures 15 1/4" tall and includes an upper illuminated window for directional light.

The LBS is available in numerous configurations including stainless steel and copper rings. Several standard finishes and powder coat finishes are complete the design possibilities. The fixtures shown below were finished in self-patina Natural (NAT) finish and in Nickel (NIC), shown left.

This candid photograph from TEKA's assembly department more accurately demonstrates what a 27" diameter pure copper shade looks and feels compared to human scale. Each fixture has been delicately placed on its own individual foam padding to ensure a flawless exterior during creation.

Alternatively, just ask the folks in Marketing who are tasked with photographing our fixtures in this behind-the-scenes photo (left).
