SUSPENDED HABITAT · SERIES 07 · CLASSIFICATION: ORBITAL PLANTER
Recovered from the 1973 Sector 7-P interior catalog, originally spec'd for habitat common areas where greenery and ambient light were considered essential to crew morale. Reissued without modification.
20 in full height, lit or unlit. 10 in dome. 2.2 lbs, or 2.6 lbs lit. Opaque ABS hemispheres, top and bottom. Gold-colored chain and S-hooks. Three-point suspension, balanced for a level hang.
The domes are opaque by specification. The fitting sends its light straight down through the 10 in aperture instead of scattering it sideways, so you get a pool of warmth on the surface below and no bare bulb in your sightline. E26 socket. Standard, Edison filament or grow bulbs, up to 150W. Suitable for 110/220V.
Hang it trailing a pothos or a string of pearls. Above a kitchen island, a reading chair, a workstation that needs atmosphere. The no-light configuration installs in a single rotation from the central hook. No electrician.
Bulb and botanical specimens not included. Pairs with the Atomic Space Age Specimen for a complete Sector 7-P installation.
In reserve at Sector 7-P. Ready for dispatch.
US delivery: Arrives in 3 to 5 business days. Free worldwide dispatch $75+, US delivery in 3-5 business days.

DIRECTED AMBIENT · MODULE 01
Integrated Light Fitting
The domes are opaque ABS, and that is the specification rather than a compromise. Light leaves through the 10 in lower aperture only, directed down onto the surface beneath: ambient, pooled, alive, with no bare bulb in the sightline. The 1973 original was spec'd for exactly this, crew habitat areas requiring atmosphere as much as illumination. E26 standard fitting, bulb max 150W. Compatible with standard bulbs, Edison filament, or grow bulbs for light-sensitive specimens.
SUSPENSION · MODULE 02
How It Hangs
Three gold-colored chains hold the two domes apart at a fixed gap, so the plant spills through. They are structural, not the suspension.
No Light: hangs from a hook at the dome apex on a 2 ft ceiling chain. Ceiling hook, wall anchors and cord hook included. Installs in a single rotation from the central hook. No electrician.
With Light: carried by a pre-installed 14 ft plug-in cord with an inline on/off rocker switch and a flat two-prong US plug. It reaches a standard outlet and needs no wiring. Swag hook included, to carry the cord across the ceiling. Suitable for 110/220V mains. Outside the US, fit a plug adapter and a bulb rated for local voltage.
Drop length adjustable to suit the personal habitat.
SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY · MODULE 03
Sector 7-P Integration
Designed to pair with the Atomic Space Age Habitat Module as part of a complete Sector 7-P installation. When deployed together, the pendant planter anchors the vertical axis while the specimen grounds the surface, a fully coordinated habitat configuration. Both available for dispatch from Sector 7-P.
