Phobos Small is a slim rod of glass and metal, a fine vertical line of light.
The Design Story
Kelly Wearstler kept Phobos to a slender silhouette.
Glass and metal meet in one elegant stroke.
Why You'll Love It
Hang a few at different heights.
Made for Real Life
There are no bulbs to change: the LED is built in. Polish the glass now and then with a soft microfiber cloth. The brass is a living finish that deepens with age. Dust the frame with a dry cloth. It mounts on rigid stems, so you can set the drop precisely. Pair it with an LED-compatible ELV, TRIAC or 0-10V dimmer to go from bright to candle-soft.

Sizing & Installation
A pendant looks right when the spacing and drop are planned. For the Phobos Small:
| Pendants per island | 6 ft: 3 · 8 ft: 4 · 10 ft: 4 |
|---|---|
| Height over a counter | 30–36″ to the bottom of the shade |
| Dining table | group two or three along the table |
| 8 ft ceiling | drop 24–30″ |
| 9 ft ceiling | drop 36–42″ |
| 10 ft ceiling | drop 48–54″ |
| Stems | up to 82.7″ overall |
| Hallways and entries | 7 ft or more underneath |
| Ceiling | slopes up to 30° |
Numbers assume a standard 36″ counter (our math). It is hardwired, so book a licensed electrician.

Questions We Hear Most
What is the idea behind the Phobos Small?
Kelly Wearstler designed it so that it is a slim rod of glass and metal, a fine vertical line of light. It belongs to Visual Comfort's Phobos family.
Which Phobos Small finish works with my palette?
Our take: brass brings warmth to wood and earthy tones; bronze is rich and moody.
Can the Phobos Small be the only light in the room?
It is designed as mood lighting (349 lumens), so pair it with lamps or recessed lights for tasks.
Is the Phobos Small the right size for my space?
At 1.5″ wide it works alone over a small table or nightstand, or in a row of 4 over an 8-foot island.
Will the Phobos Small work outside under a roof?
Yes. Visual Comfort rates it for damp interiors and outdoor spaces under cover, so a loggia or covered patio is fine; keep it out of direct rain.
Will I ever change a bulb in the Phobos Small?
There are no bulbs. The light comes from built-in LED modules rated for 50,000 hours, installed at the factory.
How is the Phobos Small hung?
It is rod (stem) mounted; in the box: (4) 12" and (2) 6" rigid stems. Sloped ceilings up to 30°. A licensed electrician should install it.
How soon can the Phobos Small arrive?
All the versions we offer are in stock right now, and in-stock pieces usually leave within 2–3 business days.
Why We Love It
Phobos is quiet luxury.
