{"product_id":"16-rectangular-matte-black-pendant-light","title":"16\" Rectangular Matte Black Pendant Light","description":"\u003cp\u003eHensley's 16-inch rectangular pendant light brings a bold, architectural line to kitchen islands, dining tables, and entryways that need a statement fixture with clean, modern geometry. The elongated rectangular shade reads as a piece of functional art, offering a striking alternative to round globe pendants or boxy flush mount fixtures found in many builder-grade homes. Finished in a deep matte black, the fixture absorbs light rather than reflecting it, giving the pendant a moody, grounded presence that contrasts beautifully against white shiplap, light wood cabinetry, or pale marble countertops nearby. The long, narrow silhouette suits spaces that call for horizontal visual interest, such as above a rectangular dining table, along a galley kitchen island, or centered over a console table in an entryway. Because the shape is elongated rather than round, a single fixture can visually anchor an entire table without needing a row of multiple smaller pendants spaced awkwardly apart. This pendant fits naturally into modern farmhouse, industrial, minimalist, and transitional interiors, acting as a quiet but confident focal point in the room. Homeowners updating a kitchen island or replacing a dated chandelier over a dining table will appreciate how this fixture feels both current and timeless at once, avoiding trendy details that might feel dated within just a few short years of everyday use in a busy household.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside the rectangular shade, an integrated LED array casts a warm white glow designed to flatter food, faces, and finishes gathered around a dining table or kitchen island below. The color temperature sits in a cozy range that feels inviting for dinner parties, homework sessions, and quiet weeknight meals alike, avoiding the cold, clinical cast of harsher daylight bulbs. Many homeowners pair this fixture with a standard dimmer switch, allowing the light to shift from bright task lighting for meal prep to a softer, more intimate glow for entertaining guests in the evening. The adjustable cord lets you customize the hanging height to suit your ceiling, whether you are installing over a standard eight-foot ceiling or a dramatic vaulted space with much higher clearance. Simply trim or extend the cord during installation to position the shade at the ideal distance above your table, ensuring the light spreads evenly without shining directly into anyone's eyes while seated. Because the shade directs light both downward and along its length, the illumination spreads evenly across a long table rather than pooling in one bright spot in the center. This balanced, adjustable warm white output makes the fixture equally suited to everyday family dinners and more polished evening gatherings, adapting easily to whatever the moment calls for without ever feeling too dim or too harsh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pendant light installs through a standard ceiling electrical box, with an adjustable cord that lets you set the exact hanging height during your own installation instead of being locked into a fixed length that may not suit your space. Most homeowners or electricians complete the hang and wire connection in under an hour, making it a manageable weekend project for a kitchen or dining room refresh. The matte black metal housing resists fingerprints, scuffs, and fading far better than glossy finishes, so the fixture continues looking sharp after years of daily use in a busy kitchen environment. Hensley builds this pendant to handle the heat and humidity common near a stove or sink area without warping or discoloring over time. The rectangular shape works equally well as a single statement fixture over a small table or paired in a row of two or three above a long kitchen island or dining table for a coordinated, gallery-style effect. Because the cord adjusts easily, this pendant adapts to new homes, ceiling heights, and design plans if you move or renovate down the road. Whether you are updating a builder-grade kitchen, finishing a new build, or replacing a dated dining room chandelier, this fixture delivers durable materials, adjustable installation, and a bold aesthetic that keeps working hard for your home for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 16 inches, rectangular linear shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight source: Integrated LED, warm white, dimmable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Matte black metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCord: Adjustable length for custom hanging height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstall type: Hardwired ceiling mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for: Kitchen islands, dining tables, entryways\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hensley","offers":[{"title":"White","offer_id":47936616628413,"sku":"TLI00183-01","price":132.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warm White","offer_id":47936616661181,"sku":"TLI00183-02","price":132.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/3143\/7501\/files\/hf_20260802_005912_2177f017-b500-4452-ade9-48ce5b50bde6.png?v=1785632544","url":"https:\/\/shophensley.com\/products\/16-rectangular-matte-black-pendant-light","provider":"Hensley","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
