Collection: Cable Lighting

Kitchens and Open Living Spaces

In an open plan, cable lighting lets one system cover the island, the dining table, and the sofa without three separate ceiling boxes. These three handle task light and ambient glow on the same run.

• K-Hello Head by Visual Comfort Modern: A compact metal ring that cradles an MR16 lamp and tilts 140 degrees between the Kable Lite wires, offered for 3.5" or 5.5" cable separation. ELV dimmable, takes an MR16 lamp sold separately. Mood: a small spotlight that waves hello from the ceiling.
• Pele Low Voltage Pendant Light by Visual Comfort Architectural: A mid-century glass sphere with a funneled neck, 6.5" across and 10" tall, on a drop adjustable from 16" to 82.5". Ships with halogen or 3000K LED lamping, ELV and MLV dimmable, Title 24 compliant, and available for Kable Lite, FreeJack, MonoRail, or MonoPoint. Mood: a soft glass globe hovering over the island.
• K-Corum Head by Visual Comfort Modern: A thin metal frame wrapped around an exposed geometric heat sink, built for 5.5" Kable Lite separation and throwing light a full 360 degrees for direct or indirect illumination. Integrated 3000K LED at 90 CRI, ELV dimmable, five-year warranty. Mood: industrial jewelry that lights the ceiling too.

High and Vaulted Ceilings

Tall rooms make light feel far away. A cable run brings the fixtures down to a usable height and gives you a clean line through all that open volume.

• Brummel Low Voltage Pendant Light by Visual Comfort Architectural: Sean Lavin's spun metal dome, 10.5" across and 5.6" tall, on a drop that adjusts from 12.1" to 78.1". Offered in Matte White or Matte Charcoal Gray with Antique Bronze or Satin Nickel, with halogen or 3000K LED lamping; damp rated and Title 24 compliant with the LED lamp. Mood: Mid-century calm, lowered to eye level.
• K-Pivot Head by Visual Comfort Architectural: A barely-there 2" head that swivels 220 degrees, offered for cable separations from 1" to 8". The 2" through 8" versions pivot on the horizontal axis, which makes them a natural choice for washing a tall ceiling with uplight. ELV dimmable, takes an MR16 lamp sold separately. Mood: Aim it up and let the ceiling glow.
• Mitos Spot Light by KDLN: Chris Basias's tilting cylinder in aluminum and technopolymer, 3.2" across and 6.7" tall, designed to hang from KDLN's Mitos copper cable system. Takes a 12V GU5.3 LED lamp, sold separately, and dims through the system driver kit. Mood: A gallery spotlight on a thread.

Precision Spotlights and Systems

When light has a specific job, like a painting, a shelf, or a display, aim matters more than output. These give you fine control over where each beam lands, plus a complete kit for simpler installs.

• K-Jane Head by Visual Comfort Architectural: A slim 1" head that pivots 220 degrees on two axes and drops below the Kable Lite system on a 5", 12", or 24" stem. An integrated lens holder takes an MR16 lamp, sold separately; ELV dimmable. Mood: A pinpoint beam, right where you want it.
• Mitos Copper Cable by KDLN: The backbone of the Mitos system, a slender copper and steel conductor in 32.8' or 98.4' lengths. Its warm metallic tone turns the wiring itself into part of the design. Mood: A copper line drawn across the room.
• Accent Cable Kit 5 Head by Visual Comfort Modern: A complete five-head kit in matte nickel, with turnbuckles and anchors for wall or ceiling mounting. Takes five MR16 lamps, sold separately. Mood: A full lighting plan in a single box.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need besides the heads?

A cable system needs the cable itself, a transformer or driver, and the supports that hold the run in tension. Kable Lite heads like the K-Corum ship as the head only, and the Mitos Spot Light dims only through its system driver kit. The Accent Cable Kit is the exception: it includes the heads and mounting hardware in one package.

Can I mix heads and pendants on the same run?

Yes, as long as every fixture is built for the same system and cable separation and the total wattage stays within the transformer's capacity. Mixing a pendant over the island with spot heads aimed at the walls is one of the main reasons people choose cable lighting.

How is cable lighting different from track lighting?

Track is a rigid rail fixed to the ceiling. Cable is tensioned wire that can span wall to wall, run at an angle, or float through open space, so it suits vaulted ceilings, skylights, and rooms where a solid track would feel heavy.
