The Samona PE03 is a three-light pendant in antique gold withtextured glass shades three E14 globes to 25W each, notsupplied, 310mm wide by 310mm high, on a2,000mm suspension.

The compact one and a genuinely useful size. At310mm square the Samona PE03 is small enough for places the six and eight-lightversions overwhelm:

• A small dining table or a breakfast nook, where a 550mm fitting woulddominate.
• An entry or a hallway end, as a single considered piece.
• Over a kitchen island in a pair two threes read better along a bench thanone six.
• A stairwell landing, where the two-metre suspension can be let out.

Three globes, and 75 watts of capacity

Three E14 to 25W each 75W total, not supplied.E14 is the small screw base, SES. With LED E14s at 4 to 6W thereal draw is about 15W, so the fitting runs cool and sits well within itsrating.

The textured glass breaks up the source, sothe three globes need not match visually. What they need:

• Warm 2700K against antique gold, cool white readsgreen.
• A compact shape, since textured glass partly reveals.
• The same brand for all three if you intend to dim and on a three-globefitting that is easy to do.

It dims, with the right globes. Our record says No;the datasheet and page both say globe dependent, and they are right. On a smallpendant over a breakfast table, dimming is most of what makes it useful morning and evening.Ask us for a matched set of three.

Square proportions, and what that suits

310 by 310mm as tall as it is wide, which makes the PE03 acompact, self-contained form rather than a spreading one. It reads asan object, and that is why it worksalone in an entry where a wide fitting needs a table under it to make sense.

Its height is worth one technical note: the PE03 and the PE06 shareexactly the same 310mm height, which is what tells you both hang their shades ina single tier where the eight-light is 470mm tall and very likelytwo.

No weight is recorded for any of the three Samonapendants. On the smallest it matters least, but on a two-metre suspension your electrician still needsthe figure. Ask us.

Textured glass the character of the range

The glass carries moulded relief, so each shadecatches light across its own surface and the globe issoftened and broken up rather than hidden or exposed. That is themodern yet subtly artisanal quality the range is built on: clean shapeswith a tactile surface, so the fitting reads as made rather than manufactured. On asmall fitting seen close up over a breakfast table, in an entry thatsurface detail matters more than it does on a large one across a room.

An unusually complete range. Samona is made as abatten fix, a wall light, and pendants in three, six and eight, all in the sametextured glass and antique gold. ClassI earth required, canopy120mm, IP20 indoor and dry locations only, iniron and glass.

Where it works

• Small dining tables and breakfast nooks.
• Entries and hallway ends, singly it reads as an object.
• Over an island in a pair, better than one six-light.
• Too small for a long dining table use the six.
• No weight recorded ask us.

Questions

Where does the small one suit?

A small dining table or breakfast nook where a 550mm fitting would dominate; an entry or hallway end as a single considered piece; a pair over a kitchen island, which reads better along a bench than one six-light; or a stairwell landing where the two-metre suspension can be let out.

What globes do I need?

Three E14 the small screw base to 25W each, 75W total, none supplied. With LED E14s at 4 to 6 watts the real draw is about 15W. Use warm 2700K in a compact shape: against antique gold, cool white reads green.

Can I dim it?

With the right globes. Our record says No; the datasheet and page both say globe dependent, and they are right. On a small pendant over a breakfast table, dimming is most of what makes it useful morning and evening and on three globes a matched set is easy.

Is it too small for a dining table?

For a long rectangular table, yes use the six-light, which spreads 550mm. For a small table or a breakfast nook this is the right proportion.

What does the textured glass do?

It carries moulded relief, so each shade catches light across its own surface and the globe is softened and broken up rather than hidden or exposed. On a small fitting seen close up, that surface detail matters more than it does on a large one across a room.

How heavy is it?

Not recorded, on any of the three Samona pendants. On the smallest it matters least, but on a two-metre suspension your electrician still needs the figure ask us.

Does it match anything else?

Yes Samona is a batten fix, a wall light, and pendants in three, six and eight, all in the same textured glass and antique gold.
