Cierro is Besa Lighting’s refined contemporary cone: a narrow cylinder that tapers gently outward to a 5.375-inch opening and stands 9.375 inches tall. The wider base spreads light down onto a counter while the matte glass glows evenly.

Choose Opal Matte for clean white light, Vanilla Matte or Amber Matte for warmth, or Chartreuse, Cobalt Blue Matte and Ruby Matte for strong color. Besa describes Amber Matte as a caramel cased glass over an opal inner layer, with a satin finish from an extensive etching process. Order the LED version with its 9W dimmable source included (800 lumens, 3000K, CRI 90+) or the incandescent version for a 100W A19 bulb of your choice.

Best for

Kitchen islands and peninsulas, breakfast and coffee bars, home offices, restaurant counters and colorful powder rooms; the tapered shape throws useful light down onto work surfaces.

Who this is not for

• Anyone who wants a wide pool of light from a single fixture: Cierro is a slim accent pendant best used in rows.
• Anyone after a clear-glass look that shows the bulb: Cierro glass diffuses it.
• Anyone who needs strictly identical shades: hand-blown glass varies slightly.

Why we carry it

We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and Cierro gives a clean, contemporary cone shape with real cased-glass color, and the matte surface keeps even the boldest colors from glaring. Besa Lighting pairs American design with European glass artisanship: its shades are hand-blown by skilled artisans using techniques passed down for generations, then hand-inspected at Besa’s factory in Ohio for color, pattern, thickness and size before they ship.

Buy once: durability and care

Turn the power off and let the glass cool, then wipe with a soft cloth lightly misted with glass cleaner (spray the cloth, not the fixture); dust the metal with a dry microfiber cloth (our advice). The LED source is replaceable. Installation by a licensed electrician is recommended.

Frequently asked questions

What size is the Besa Cierro shade?

The glass is 5.375" across at its widest and 9.375" high. It is hand-blown, so allow for slight variation.

Is the Cierro good for task lighting over a counter?

Yes. Its tapered shape opens toward the bottom, sending light down onto the counter while the matte glass glows softly.

Which Cierro color is the most neutral?

Opal Matte is the white, neutral choice; Vanilla Matte is a soft warm alternative.

Does the Cierro LED version include the bulb?

Yes. It includes a 9W dimmable, replaceable LED source with 800 lumens at 3000K and CRI 90+, rated 30,000 hours. The incandescent version takes a 100W A19 bulb, sold separately.

Can I install the Cierro in a bathroom?

Yes. It is rated for damp locations, interior use only.

How far apart should Cierro pendants hang?

About 18–24" apart over an island, with the bottom of the glass roughly 30–36" above the counter (our advice).
