The Torben PE160 is a 1,600mm linear pendant in black or brown sand integrated 28W giving 2,240lm, withswitchable 3000K / 4000K / 5000K, and it isTRIAC dimmable.

It dims, and nothing you could read said so. The datasheetrecords Yes TRIAC. Our product record carriedno dimming field at all, and the old specification table hadno dimming row not a wrong answer, an absent one.

That is the single best reason to choose the Torben. On an ordinaryTRIAC wall dimmer, 2,240lm over a dining table becomesbright for cooking and low for a long dinner. TheTrina bar pendant in this catalogue cannot do that.

The suspension adjusts from 800 to 1,700mm andthe page published only the 1,700. That is a 900mm range reduced to asingle number, and it matters: 800mm is a normal drop over a dining table on a2.4-metre ceiling, while 1,700mm is a stairwell or a raked ceiling. The fittingcovers both. The page made it look like it only did one.

1,600mm long and 24mm wide

That proportion is the product: 1.6 metres of light, 24mm across, 41deep. From below it is a line; from the side it almost disappears.

Over a long dining table or a kitchen island that is exactly right a linearfitting matches the shape of what it lights, where a round pendant leaves the ends ofa long table dim and needs two or three of itself to fix it. At3.6kg over 1.6 metres, it is also light for its size.

Set the table out first. A 1,600mm fitting wants a tableof at least that length to look right, and it must be hungparallel and centred on a line this long, a few degrees of rotation isvisible from across the room.

2,240 lumens, and three colour settings

80lm/W, which is efficient, and enough to be the only light over atable. The colour is selectable at installation 3000K warm, 4000K neutral,5000K cool.

Over a dining table choose 3000K. Over akitchen island where you work, 4000K renders food andchopping boards better. 5000K belongs in a workshop, not a home.

Choose it before the electrician leaves. Our recordflags the Torben as colour changing, and that overstates it: the setting is madeonce, at the fitting. What is adjustable afterwards is thebrightness, on your dimmer.

Two lengths, two finishes

1,600mm and 2,400mm, inblack or brown sand. The sand finish is a finetexture rather than a gloss, which on a fitting this slim is the right call gloss on a 24mm edge catches every downlight in the room as a hard highlight,and a textured coat does not.

240V a figure our record and the old page bothomitted ClassI, earth required, andIP20 indoor and dry locations only. Inaluminium, iron and acrylic, with an acrylic diffuser that spreadsthe LED strip into a continuous line rather than a row of visible dots.CRI above 80.

Where it works

• Long dining tables and kitchen islands the shape matches what it lights.
• Rooms where dimming matters TRIAC, on an ordinary wall dimmer.
• Stairwells and raked ceilings up to 1,700mm of drop.
• Hang it parallel and centred rotation shows on a 1.6m line.
• Set the colour temperature at installation; it is fixed afterwards.

Questions

Can I dim it?

Yes TRIAC, on an ordinary wall dimmer, and nothing you could read said so. The datasheet records it; our product record carried no dimming field at all and the old table had no dimming row. It is the single best reason to choose the Torben over the Trina bar pendant, which cannot dim.

How low can it hang?

The suspension adjusts from 800 to 1,700mm a 900mm range that the old page reduced to just its maximum. 800mm is a normal drop over a dining table on a 2.4-metre ceiling; 1,700mm suits a stairwell or a raked ceiling.

Why a linear pendant rather than round ones?

It matches the shape of what it lights. Over a long table or island, 1.6 metres of continuous light covers the whole surface evenly, where a round pendant leaves the ends dim and needs two or three of itself to fix it.

Which colour temperature should I choose?

3000K over a dining table; 4000K over a kitchen island where you work, because it renders food and boards better; 5000K belongs in a workshop, not a home. Choose before the electrician leaves the setting is made once at the fitting. The brightness stays adjustable on your dimmer.

Is it bright enough on its own?

Yes over a table 2,240 lumens at 80lm/W, which is efficient for a decorative fitting.

Anything to watch at installation?

Hang it parallel to the table and centred. On a 1.6-metre line a few degrees of rotation is visible from across the room, in a way it never is on a round pendant.

What sizes and finishes are there?

1,600mm and 2,400mm, in black or brown sand. The sand texture is the right call on a fitting this slim gloss on a 24mm edge catches every downlight in the room as a hard highlight.
