The Norel PE4 is a 405mm four-light drum pendant withrippled clear glass, in antique gold, black or polished nickel fourE14 globes to 25W each, not supplied, on a1,500mm suspension.

The glass is clear AND textured, and that decides what globesto buy. The variant names say Clear; the copy describesa rippled, artisanal quality. Both are true.

Clear reveals; ripple distorts. You do see the globes butbroken up, refracted and multiplied by the surface rather than as four sharp filaments. It sitsbetween the opal fittings, where the globe is invisible, andplain clear glass, where it is exposed.

So the globes are part of the look:

• A compact shape candle or golf-ball. A large decorative globe reads as adistorted blob through ripple.
• Warm 2700K, and especially against antique gold, since coolwhite reads green.
• All four together, same brand rippled glassmultiplies a colour mismatch rather than hiding it.
• A clear decorative LED filament works beautifully: the ripple turns one filamentinto a scatter of warm points.

Ask us for a matched set of four.

The smaller drum and where 405mm is the right answer

The two share exactly the same height and differ only indiameter and light count which is a clean, honest range, andworth saying, because several ranges in this catalogue are not.

405mm suits:

• A smaller dining table or a breakfast area, where 500mm would crowd it.
• An entry or a hallway end, as a single piece.
• A pair over a kitchen island two 405mm drums along a bench readbetter than one 500.
• A bedroom, centred, where a drum’s shallow profile keeps the ceiling feelinghigh.

Why a drum works over a table

Wide and shallow 405mm across, 252mm deep. Atall pendant of the same width hangs into thesightline between people sitting opposite each other; a drumstays above it, spreading four sources across the table and remaining something youcan see past.

Four globes, 100 watts of capacity

Four E14 to 25W each 100W total, not supplied.E14 is the small screw base, SES. (Our page called it ES, the largerE27 base. It is E14.) With LED candles at 4 to 6W the real draw isabout 20W.

It dims, with the right globes. Our record saysNo; the datasheet and page both say globe dependent, andthey are right. On rippled clear glass that isparticularly worth doing: low, the room falls back and thescatter of refracted points is all you see. With only four globes, amatched dimmable set is easy and cheap ask us.

Three finishes, and what changes with them

• Antique gold warm and traditional. Lit warm, the whole fitting readsamber; it sits with timber, brass and warm paint.
• Black graphic. The frame becomes a dark outline, so theglass and its refractions are all you see. The most contemporary.
• Polished nickel cool and reflective; itpicks up the refracted light and carries it around the frame, which is the mostsparkling of the three and closest in effect to crystal.

Where it works

• Smaller dining tables and breakfast areas.
• Over an island in a pair better than one 500mm.
• Entries, hallway ends and bedrooms.
• The globes show through the ripple buy four matched compact ones.

Questions

Will I see the globes?

Yes, but broken up. The glass is clear and rippled clear reveals, ripple distorts so the globes appear refracted and multiplied by the surface rather than as four sharp filaments. It sits between an opal fitting, where the globe is invisible, and plain clear glass, where it is exposed.

What globes should I buy?

Four compact E14 candle or golf-ball in warm 2700K, all together and the same brand, because rippled glass multiplies a colour mismatch rather than hiding it. A clear decorative LED filament works beautifully: the ripple turns one filament into a scatter of warm points.

Should I choose the 405mm or the 500mm?

The two share exactly the same height and differ only in diameter and light count, which is a clean honest range. 405mm suits a smaller dining table or breakfast area, an entry or hallway end, a bedroom, or a pair over a kitchen island two smaller drums along a bench read better than one 500.

Why a drum shape over a table?

Wide and shallow keeps it out of the sightline between people sitting opposite each other. A tall pendant of the same width hangs into that line; a drum stays above it while spreading four sources across the table.

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 rippled clear glass it is particularly worth doing low, the scatter of refracted points is all you see and with only four globes a matched dimmable set is easy and cheap.

Which finish should I choose?

Antique gold is warm and traditional; lit warm the whole fitting reads amber. Black turns the frame into a dark outline so the glass and its refractions dominate the most contemporary. Polished nickel picks up the refracted light and carries it around the frame: the most sparkling, and closest to crystal.

How heavy is it?

Not recorded, on a 405mm four-light iron and glass drum. Ask us before the fixing is chosen.
