Meet the Keg Lite: The Pendant That Started It All

Primelite #78/16-24 Keg Lite pendant light in aluminum finish with black cord

Some fixtures light a room. The Keg Lite starts a conversation. Modeled after the unmistakable silhouette of a full-size keg, this pendant brings real personality to any space that wants a little more character than a standard drum shade — without sacrificing the clean, commercial-grade construction professionals expect.

What Makes It Different

The Keg Lite — officially model #78/16-24 — is the flagship fixture of Primelite’s #78 Series, a full family of pendant and gooseneck lights styled after the beer keg. This is the full-size version: the one the rest of the series takes its cues from.

The drum body is cast with the same ribbed banding and rolled-edge detailing found on an actual keg, right down to the recessed top. It’s a fixture that reads as intentional and crafted, not novelty. Suspended over a bar, a kitchen island, or a row of taproom tables, it holds its own as a design statement.

Sizing & Configuration

The 16″ x 24″ Keg Lite is the largest silhouette in the pendant lineup, but it’s not the only option. The same body is also available in a 1/2 Keg (#78/16-12) and a 1/4 Keg (#78/8-12) size, so a space can mix scales — a full keg as a focal point with 1/2 or 1/4 kegs flanking it — while keeping the family resemblance intact.

Cord and stem configurations are flexible, too. The Keg Lite ships standard on a 10′ SVT cord in black or white, with other colors and lengths available. Stem and chain mounting are also available for installations that call for a more rigid drop.

Finish & Powder Coat Options

Shown here in Aluminum with a black cord, the Keg Lite is available in a wide range of standard powder coated colors, with special colors available on request. Aluminum construction means it’s rated for both indoor and outdoor use — patios, covered outdoor bars, and taproom decks are all fair game.

Where It Works

  • Breweries & Taprooms The obvious fit, and the most literal expression of the concept — pair it with the bar it was born to hang over.
  • Restaurants & Bars A strong anchor piece over a host stand, bar top, or communal table.
  • Retail & Hospitality Enough presence to work as a signature fixture in a lobby, tasting room, or storefront window.
  • Residential Bars & Kitchens Scaled to hold its own over an island or home bar without overwhelming the room.

Made in the USA
