The Serda PE63 is a 630mm round pendant in white, only55mm deep 36W giving 1,860lm, withswitchable 2700K / 4000K / 5000K, CRI above 83and a built-in TOUCH dimmer, on a 2,000mm suspension.

It dims by touch, and our record said it did not dim at all.The record carries dimmable: No against a pendant whosetouch sensor is its headline feature the same error as on the linear Serda.A buyer filtering for dimmable pendants would never have seen it.

Think about where the sensor ends up. A touch dimmer isexcellent on a desk lamp and awkward on a pendant: on a2,000mm suspension over a table you have toreach the fitting to change the level. Fine over a low bench;impractical over a high dining table. Plan the drop with the sensor in mind, orask us the Romay does the same job with an ordinary wall dimmer.

A 630mm disc, 55mm deep

Wide and very shallow. Over a round table that proportion is exactly right: itcovers the surface without hanging into anyones eyeline, and at55mm it reads as a disc of light rather than a fitting with mass. On a200mm canopy with 2,000mm of adjustable suspension.

2700K is the warm end, and it is warmer than most

2700K warm, 4000K natural, 5000K cool. That warm setting iscloser to a filament lamp than the usual 3000K, which over a dining table atnight is a real difference it reads golden rather than merely warm. Worth stating clearlybecause our record for the linear Serda said 3000K, and this pendantsrecord and datasheet both say 2700. The family is2700 / 4000 / 5000K.

1,860 lumens through a full-width diffuser

36W at 52lm/W. The efficiency is modest because the light isdiffused across the whole 630mm face rather than pushed through a smallaperture and that is the trade you want here: no bright spot, no glare, an even glowacross a wide disc. At 1,860lm it will light a dining table or a bedroomproperly.

It is ClassI earth required and hard-wired toa 200mm canopy. A licensed electrician installs it genuinely, on thispage. CRI above 83 is better than the 80 most fittings of this kind manage, withoutthe price of a 90-plus fitting.

One of a family of three

Serda runs as this 630mm round, a 930mm round and an1,840mm linear, all 55mm deep in the same white withthe same colours and the same touch dimming. Rounds over a table and the linear over a bench read asone scheme.

Where it works

• Over round or square dining tables wide and shallow suits both.
• Bedrooms and living rooms wanting a flush-looking disc of light.
• Alongside other Serda pieces, matched in depth and colour.
• The touch sensor is on the fitting plan a reachable drop.
• Indoor and dry locations only IP20.

Questions

Is it dimmable?

Yes it has a built-in touch dimmer, which is its headline feature. Our record said dimmable: No, so a buyer filtering for dimmable pendants would never have seen it.

How do I reach the touch sensor over a table?

That is the thing to plan for. On a 2,000mm suspension you have to reach the fitting to change the level fine over a low bench, impractical over a high dining table. The Romay does the same job with an ordinary wall dimmer if that suits you better.

How warm is the warm setting?

2700K closer to a filament lamp than the usual 3000K, which over a dining table at night reads golden rather than merely warm. Worth stating because our record for the linear Serda said 3000K; this pendants record and datasheet both say 2700, and the family is 2700 / 4000 / 5000K.

Is it bright enough for a dining table?

Yes 1,860lm, diffused evenly across the whole 630mm face rather than pushed through a small aperture. No bright spot and no glare.

How far does it hang into the room?

Only 55mm deep, so it reads as a disc of light rather than a fitting with mass. The suspension is 2,000mm and adjusts at install.

What is CRI above 83?

Better than the 80 most fittings of this kind manage, without the price of a 90-plus fitting.

Can I match it with other Serda pieces?

Yes the range runs as this 630mm round, a 930mm round and an 1,840mm linear, all 55mm deep in the same white with the same colours and touch dimming.
