Larkin P376 Style Aluminum Disc Pendant Light

No — the Larkin is a design tribute to the iconic P376, not an authentic Fritz Hansen or &Tradition product.

The authentic P376 is a Mid-Century pendant designed by Verner Panton in 1963, originally produced by Fritz Hansen and currently manufactured under license by &Tradition. The authentic article carries the original designer's name, manufacturer markings, included warranty, and design provenance — and is priced accordingly (typically $1,400-1,800 retail).

The Larkin is independently manufactured by Stuberlighting as a tribute to the silhouette. It uses similar materials (spun aluminum) and matches the canonical proportions, but it is not a licensed reproduction. If you want the authentic article with its full design heritage, we recommend purchasing directly from &Tradition or an authorized dealer.

If you want the shape, the geometry, and the visual presence at a price that fits a typical residential lighting budget — the Larkin is built for that purpose.

Silver brushed aluminum — the original P376 finish. Choose if your home leans Mid-Century, has walnut wood floors or furniture, or uses brass and warm metal accents. The Silver reads as a deliberate design history reference, the kind of fixture that anchors a Mid-Century-inspired kitchen or living room.

White matte aluminum — a contemporary Scandinavian reinterpretation. Choose for all-white kitchens, Modern Minimalist interiors, Scandinavian-leaning palettes, or homes where the fixture should disappear against the ceiling. White reads softer and quieter — less of a statement, more of a quiet design choice.

Most ordered: Silver. It's the canonical finish, and the one most customers visualize when they search for a "P376 style pendant."

For kitchen islands: Hang the bottom of the Larkin disc 30-36 inches above the countertop. This is the standard for task lighting — high enough to clear sightlines, low enough to illuminate the work surface without glare.

For dining tables: Hang the bottom of the disc 32-36 inches above the table surface. Slightly higher than islands because the table is typically lower than counter height; you want the disc above diner head-height when standing, but below eye-level when seated.

For living room coffee table placement: Hang 60-72 inches above the floor — high enough that walking under it is comfortable but low enough to create a deliberate ceiling-anchored focal point.

The cord is adjustable during installation by your electrician — no need to specify the exact hanging height before ordering.

Yes — with an extended cord.

The Larkin ships with a 59" (5 ft) cord by default — perfect for 8-foot residential ceilings. For higher ceilings:

· 9-10 ft ceilings — standard cord works fine (Larkin hangs at appropriate height)
· 10-12 ft ceilings — request 7-8 ft cord extension
· 12+ ft loft/vaulted — request 10-12 ft cord extension, or longer if needed

Email service@stuberlighting.com before ordering with your ceiling height. We coordinate the cord length so the disc hangs at the correct proportional height for your space (typically the equivalent of 30-36 inches above the surface it's lighting). No additional charge for extension cords up to 10 feet.

Yes — the fixture is dimmable-compatible.

The included bulb is a standard non-dimmable warm-white LED (works with on/off wall switch). To enable dimming, replace the included bulb with a dimmable E26 LED bulb (widely available at Home Depot, Lowe's, Amazon for $8-15) and pair with a compatible triac wall dimmer. Most modern triac dimmers work with dimmable LEDs without specialty controls.

Once installed, full atmosphere control from 5%-100% brightness via wall switch. The bulbs can be swapped at any time without replacing the fixture itself.

Yes — E26 warm-white LED bulbs are included (standard 2700K non-dimmable). Plug into your existing ceiling wiring, switch on, done.

The E26 socket is the standard medium-base socket used in most American residential lamps — same socket as your bedside lamp, your floor lamp, your average table lamp. Replacement bulbs are available from Home Depot, Lowe's, Amazon, or any hardware store. Maximum 40W per socket — most modern E26 LED bulbs draw 8-12W so there's significant headroom.

For dimming, replace the included bulbs with dimmable E26 LEDs (see previous question for details).
