The Voluto is a 1,720mm linear pendant in iron and glass 40W producing 3,120lm at CRI above 90, TRIAC dimmable in black orgold.

This is the best-performing linear pendant we sell

Worth saying directly, because the numbers are easy to skim past.3,120lm from 40W is 78 lumens per watt and it does that atCRI>90, which normally costs you efficiency. For comparison, another1.8-metre pendant in this range gives 1,130lm from 32W. The Voluto isnearly three times brighter for a quarter more power.

Bright and accurate and dimmable

Fittings usually give you two of those three. The Voluto does all three:real task output, CRI above 90, and smooth TRIAC dimming down to ambience. Over akitchen island that means you can prep under it and eat under it without compromise.Check compatibility with us if your dimmer is trailing-edge or smart.

Three colour temperatures on top

Iron and glass, not aluminium and acrylic

Most linear pendants are extruded aluminium with an acrylic diffuser. The Voluto isiron and glass heavier, more substantial, and the glass diffuses with aquality that acrylic does not quite reach. In gold it stops looking like a technicalfitting altogether.

An 80mm square section

1,720mm long, 80 80mm, 3.15kg. Squarer and more presentthan the very slim bars which suits it, because with this much light behind glass you want somebody to it.

Questions

How bright is it compared to other linear pendants?

Considerably. 3,120lm from 40W is 78 lumens per watt; another 1.8-metre pendant in this range gives 1,130lm from 32W. Nearly three times the light for a quarter more power.

Can I dim it?

Yes, smoothly, on a TRIAC (leading-edge) dimmer and you can select 3000, 4000 or 5000K on the fitting as well. Check with us if your dimmer is trailing-edge or smart.

What does CRI above 90 give me?

Food, timber, stone and fabric rendered the way they actually look. It normally costs efficiency, and here it does not.

Is it glass or acrylic?

Iron and glass, where most linear pendants are aluminium and acrylic. Heavier, more substantial, and the glass diffuses with a quality acrylic does not quite reach.

Can I use it over an island for both prep and dining?

That is exactly what it is for real task output when you need it, dimmed to ambience when you do not.

How long is it?

1,720mm, in an 80 80mm section, 3.15kg.

Black or gold?

Gold stops it looking like a technical fitting altogether. Black is the discreet choice.
