A full-size keg pendant makes a statement, but not every ceiling has the drop to spare. The 1/2 Keg Lite takes the same drum silhouette that anchors the #78 Series and compresses it into a shorter, lower-profile form — all the tap-room character, none of the headroom compromise.
What Makes This Model Different
Officially model #78/16-12, this fixture carries the nickname “The 1/2 Keg Lite” for a reason: it shares the same 16″ drum diameter as the full Keg Lite 78/16-24, but at just 12″ tall, it reads like a keg cut down to its shorter half-barrel form. That shorter body makes it the natural choice for bar tops, low ceilings, and any run where multiple pendants need to hang in a tight vertical grid without stacking on top of each other visually.
Specs
Lamp Options

Sizing & Configuration
The 10′ SVT cord ships standard in black or white, and other cord colors and lengths are available. If a fixed drop is a better fit for the space, the 1/2 Keg Lite can also be ordered with a stem or chain mount in place of cord.
Finish & Powder Coat Options
The catalog shows the 1/2 Keg Lite finished in red with a black cord, but it’s available in the full standard powder coat range — from clean neutrals to bold reds and blues — with custom colors available on request. Aluminum construction means the finish holds up outdoors as well as in.
Where It Works
- Taprooms & Breweries A row of these over the bar reinforces the theme without needing much vertical clearance.
- Restaurants & Gastropubs Sized well for banquette seating and low-ceiling dining areas.
- Retail & Hospitality Compact enough to cluster in groupings over merchandising tables or check-in counters.
- Residential Bars & Kitchens A single unit over a home bar or island brings the same character at a scale that fits a house.
Made in the USA
Every #78 Series fixture is manufactured in the USA by Primelite, from the spun aluminum drum to the powder coat finish. That means consistent quality control and the ability to support custom colors, cord lengths, and mount configurations without long lead times.
