The Orton PE7 is a 1,150mm seven-light pendant on a wavy frame inantique gold or black seven G9 globes at 6W each,42W total, not supplied with six interchangeable glass shadesto choose from.

Seven lamp holders, not one. Our record lists6W, which is the figure per globe. Seven G9 holders at 6W is42W total and you need to buy seven globes. Budget forthat when you order.

1,150mm long measure your table first

This is 1.15 metres of pendant, only 200mm high and 120mm deep. It isa linear fitting, made to run along a long dining table or a kitchenisland, not to hang over a round one. Below about 1.6 metres of table it will lookoversized. At 7.6kg the ceiling fixing needs planning and noteit hangs from a single canopy, so the load is concentrated.

The wavy frame is the design

The seven shades do not sit in a straight line the frameundulates, so the glass hangs at varying heights. Seen along a tablethat gives rhythm and depth where a straight bar gives a row. It is the reason tochoose the Orton over a linear pendant of the same length.

Six glass shades, and they are interchangeable

Each of the two frame colours comes with a choice of six glass finishes, andthe shades swap:

• Opal Matt fully diffusing; the only one thathides the globes, and the softest and most even light of the six. The practical choiceover a dining table.
• Frost Tear frosted teardrop; diffuse, brighter than opal.
• Smoke and Smoke Tear grey-tinted; darker, and againstantique gold the contrast is strong.
• Amber Tear warm-tinted; the warmest light of the six, and the naturalpartner to the antique gold frame.
• Clear Prism faceted and clear; sparkles and throwspatterns, and shows all seven globes so buy decorative G9s if youchoose it.

Twelve variants, one decision each way. Two frames six glasses. Antique gold with amber is the warmest combination;black with opal is the quietest and the most practical over a table;black with clear prism is the most dramatic.

It is ClassI earth required. Hard-wired on a2,000mm adjustable suspension. A licensed electrician installs it, and at7.6kg over 1.15metres, show them the fixing before the day.

Dimming depends on the globes

Fit dimmable G9s and pair them with a wall dimmer and it dims; plain globes willnot and all seven must be dimmable, or the ones that are not willsimply stay at full output. Our record says No, which is misleading; the correct answeris globe dependent.

Questions

How many globes do I need to buy?

Seven G9 at 6W each, 42W in total, and none are supplied. Our record lists 6W, which is the per-globe figure. Budget for seven when you order.

How long is it?

1,150mm 1.15 metres. It is a linear fitting made to run along a long dining table or island. Below about 1.6 metres of table it will look oversized, and it is not right over a round table.

What does the wavy frame do?

It hangs the seven shades at varying heights rather than in a straight line, which gives rhythm and depth along a table where a straight bar gives a row. It is the reason to choose the Orton over a plain linear pendant.

Which glass should I choose?

Opal Matt is the practical one over a dining table fully diffusing, hides the globes, softest and most even. Clear Prism is the most dramatic but shows all seven globes, so buy decorative G9s if you pick it. Amber is the natural partner to the antique gold frame.

Can I change the shades later?

Yes all six glass finishes are interchangeable, so the pendant is not fixed at the point of purchase.

How heavy is it?

7.6kg over 1.15 metres, hanging from a single canopy so the load is concentrated. Show your electrician the fixing before the day of install.

Can I dim it?

Only with dimmable G9s and a wall dimmer and all seven must be dimmable, or the ones that are not will stay at full output. Our record says No, which is misleading; the correct answer is globe dependent.
