Franklin Restoration Bare Bulb Single Light Pendant Light in Cast Brass

The Bare Bulb 3-Inch 1-Light Stem-Hung Mini Pendant suits buyers who want a fixture that reads classic but still feels clean in a modern home. It gives designers and contractors a predictable size, finish range, and mounting profile to work with.

This fixture is part of the Franklin Restoration collection by Innovations Lighting and designer Bruno Marashlian. The Bare Bulb family shape gives it a traditional, industrial, farmhouse, restoration-vintage look, and the fixture is listed for damp location. Use it only in locations that match that rating.

10 Finish Groups and Shade Options

Available finish and shade combinations are listed below:

  • Antique Brass
  • Antique Copper
  • Black Antique Brass
  • Brushed Brass
  • Matte Black
  • Oil Rubbed Bronze
  • Polished Chrome
  • Polished Nickel
  • Satin Gold
  • Brushed Satin Nickel

For a softer look, match the fixture finish to nearby cabinet pulls or faucets. For more contrast, choose matte black, black mixed with brass, or oil rubbed bronze. Metal shade choices can either blend with the body finish or create a two-tone look that feels more graphic.

1 Socket Lighting Details

The fixture uses 1 Medium Base (E26) socket rated up to 100 watts each. Bulbs are not included. A ST64 vintage LED bulb is recommended when that shape is listed, since it fits the open shade style and keeps the proportions correct. It is dimmable when used with dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer.

Fit, Mounting, and Installation Notes

The fixture measures 4.5 inches wide, 6.625 inches high, 4.5 inches in diameter. The canopy measures 4.5 x 0.75 inches. The hanging height ranges from 8.875 inches to 38.875 inches. Cord or wire detail: 10 Feet Of Wire. Stem detail: 1-6 and 2-12 inch stems. Sloped ceiling compatibility is listed as Yes. A matching oversized backplate is available when extra wall coverage is needed. For pendants over a counter or table, leave enough sightline clearance and check the full hanging height before ordering.

Materials, Weight, and Warranty

The fixture is made from Steel, Cast Brass. Product weight is 3.35 lbs. The warranty is 2 Year Finish, Lifetime Electrical. In stock lead time is 1-2 business days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these ceiling lights come with bulbs included?

Many of our ceiling lights feature integrated LEDs that do not require replacement bulbs. For fixtures that use replaceable bulbs, the product description specifies the type and whether bulbs are included.

Are integrated LED ceiling lights energy efficient?

Yes — integrated LED lighting uses significantly less energy than traditional bulbs and typically lasts 25,000+ hours, reducing both electricity costs and replacement frequency.

Can these ceiling lights be dimmed?

Compatibility with dimmers varies by fixture. Look at the specifications for the words "dimmable" or "compatible with TRIAC/ELV dimmers." If unsure, our support team can confirm before purchase.

What is CRI and why does it matter?

CRI (Color Rendering Index) measures how accurately a light renders colors compared to natural sunlight. A higher CRI (90+) means richer, more true-to-life colors — important for living spaces, kitchens, and bathrooms.

Do ceiling lights require professional installation?

While some fixtures are DIY-friendly, hard-wired ceiling lights generally require a licensed electrician to ensure safe wiring, proper mounting, and code compliance.

What's the difference between flush mount and semi-flush mount lights?

Flush mount lights sit directly against the ceiling — best for low ceilings (under 8 ft). Semi-flush mount lights hang a few inches down for a touch more presence — ideal for 8-10 ft ceilings.

Great quality

For our installation, the hardware feels lighter than the rest of the fixture after two weeks of use. In this particular space, the fixture needed too much adjustment to hang level after six weeks of use. It is usable now, but should not have required this much correction after two weeks of use.

Beautiful fixture

The brass is slightly warmer in person and pairs well with our hardware. The beam over the breakfast bar is focused but not severe. Keeping a dish nearby for the little hardware made assembly easier after six weeks of use.

Love this light

It has enough presence without overwhelming the room after about a month of use. The written directions are usable, but another illustration is needed after about a month of use. The finished result is good enough that I would still repurchase it after six weeks of use.

Worth every penny

This was the final piece of our breakfast bar remodel. The profile looks composed from around the breakfast bar after two weeks of use. The canopy needed several attempts before it sat flush after six weeks of use. The finished result is good enough that I would still repurchase it after two weeks of use.

Easy to install

We have had this mini pendant up for a month now. The bracket felt secure, with enough room to tuck the connections away after two weeks of use. The brass is consistent and not excessively glossy.

Looks amazing

This was the final piece of our breakfast bar remodel. The brass looks richer once the fixture is installed. We needed another set of hands for the weight, not for the wiring after two weeks of use.
