LZF Black Note Triplet Pendant

Choosing a statement pendant for a double-height space or stairwell void is one of the harder specification calls. The scale has to be right, the light output has to be controlled, and the dimming has to be specified correctly from the start — retrofitting a different dimming protocol later is never a clean fix.

For pendants like this, what matters most are the dimming method, the quality of light, and whether the product can hold its own visually at height. Dimming protocols — the language a fixture and its control system use to talk to each other — come in two main types here: DALI (a digital protocol that allows precise, individually addressable control) and 0–10V (an analogue method that adjusts brightness via a low-voltage signal). Both are available on the Black Note Triplet, and both are incompatible with standard domestic TRIAC dimmers, so specifying the right control infrastructure early is essential.

The LZF Black Note Triplet Pendant is a vertical suspension lamp designed by Ramón Esteve for LZF, the Spanish brand renowned for its handcrafted wood veneer lighting. Three cylindrical wood veneer shades are staggered at different heights along a slender central metal spine — a composition Esteve drew directly from the black keys of a piano. With a CRI of 90 (a measure of how accurately a light source renders colour, where 100 is daylight), it delivers warm, nuanced light that does justice to natural materials and interior finishes around it. IP20 rated, it is suited to dry interior environments.

The design pairs warm organic wood veneer with a refined metal frame, creating a pendant that reads as both architectural and warm. The wood veneer shade is available in Natural Cherry, Natural Beech, and Ivory White, with metal finishes in Matt Black or Gold. The staggered vertical arrangement gives the fixture a sense of quiet movement — unhurried, but never static.

The Black Note Triplet supports DALI and 0–10V dimming (see the important display note for voltage options including 120–277V). IP20 makes this suitable for dry interior zones only. With 48 variants across wood, finish, and dimming combinations, confirming your specification early avoids lead-time complications — and yes, the number of permutations is part of the point: this is a product that fits the project, not the other way around.

At Lightsource Mallorca, we help you navigate exactly this kind of specification decision — matching the right dimming protocol to your control infrastructure, confirming lead times, and ensuring the product arrives correctly configured for your project. Value engineering means we'll also advise whether a simpler dimming route achieves the same result for your specific setup. One less thing to worry about on site.
