String Lights, Sphere

The concept of the String Lights Sphere by Michael Anas­tas­si­ades is so profoundly simple, instead of trying to figure out how to hide cables and wires; the designer has created an oppor­tu­nity to cele­brate these aspects of the design to create visu­ally engag­ing ​“cable instal­la­tions” that are remi­nis­cent of the lines one would create with an Etch-A-Sketch.

You start by envi­sion­ing the type of light­ing instal­la­tion you want to create and deter­mine the number of linear feet of cable you will need – a choice of two lengths of Kevlar rein­forced coaxial cable are avail­able – 39.3′ or 72.2′. The diffuser is a sphere that is composed of matte black varnished die-cast aluminum and opal poly­car­bon­ate. The power supply is avail­able as wall or ceiling mount (hard wired) as well as the option of a floor power supply (plug-in). The ceiling/​wall canopy version can supply power for two lamps with a 3-way out for cables. The floor version can also supply power for two lamps but with 2-way out for cables. To add an addi­tional fixture to your hard wired or plug-in instal­la­tion select ​“none” and your length of cable in the drop-down menu. All diffusers feature Soft Touch tech­nol­ogy allow­ing the user with a simple touch to turn the lights on or off. Extra cable can also be purchased sepa­rately to supple­ment the stan­dard String Lights installation kits.
