The Invar CTC7 is a 650mm seven-light close-to-ceiling fitting in nickelmatt 40W giving 3,040lm at 4000K,CRI above 90, TRIAC dimmable.

Two corrections before anything else.

• There are no bulbs. Our page described the range’sexposed bulb aesthetics and simple suspended sockets.This fitting has an integrated LED nothing to buy, nothing to replace, andno exposed globe. That sentence is about other products in the Invar range.
• It weighs 9.7 kilograms. That is among the heaviest fittings in thiscatalogue, and it sits flat against the ceiling. The figure was in adatasheet field and shown nowhere. This needs a fixing engineered for the load tell your electrician before the ceiling is opened.

CRI above 90 and it was never mentioned

Most ceiling fittings in this catalogue record CRI 80, wherefood looks duller, timber flattens and skin goes slightly grey. The Invar recordsabove 90.

Combined with its 4000K neutral white and 3,040lm,that makes it a genuinely good kitchen or working-room fitting the colour isright for a bench, the output carries the room, and the colour rendering means you canjudge what you are cooking.

The 4000K is fixed, and there is no warmoption. That is the trade. In a kitchen, laundry or home office it isexactly right. In a living room or bedroom it will read cool the dimminglowers the level but does not warm the colour. If you want warm white at thisoutput, ask us.

Seven sources across 650mm

650mm wide, projecting 195mm. Seven separate COB sources spread acrossthat width give even light without a single hotspot, and the195mm projection means it reads as asubstantial object on the ceiling rather than a flush disc closer to achandelier in presence than to an oyster.

TRIAC dimmable on an ordinary wall dimmer, which at3,040lm matters and it is more than many bright ceiling fittings in this range offer.It is ClassI earth required andIP20 indoor and dry locations only.

Aluminium, iron and glass, in nickel matt

Matt rather than polished, which on a 650mm fitting carrying seven litsources is the right choice: a polished nickel surface that size would reflect every one of them backat the room.

Where it works

• Kitchens and working rooms 4000K, CRI 90, 3,040lm.
• Dining rooms with standard ceilings, where a pendant would hang too low.
• Entries, where 195mm of presence suits.
• 9.7kg an engineered fixing. Tell your electrician first.
• Fixed 4000K it will read cool in a living room.

Questions

Does it take bulbs?

No. Our page described the ranges exposed bulb aesthetics and suspended sockets, but this fitting has an integrated LED nothing to buy, nothing to replace, no exposed globe. That sentence is about other products in the Invar range.

How heavy is it?

9.7 kilograms, among the heaviest fittings in this catalogue, sitting flat against the ceiling. It needs a fixing engineered for the load tell your electrician before the ceiling is opened.

What is CRI 90 worth here?

A lot in a kitchen. Most ceiling fittings here record CRI 80, where food looks duller and timber flattens. At 90, with 4000K neutral white and 3,040lm, you can judge what you are cooking.

Can I get warm white?

No the 4000K is fixed. In a kitchen, laundry or home office that is exactly right; in a living room or bedroom it will read cool, and dimming lowers the level without warming the colour. Ask us if you want warm white at this output.

Can I dim it?

Yes TRIAC, on an ordinary wall dimmer, which at 3,040lm matters and is more than many bright ceiling fittings here offer.

Is it flush to the ceiling?

Not flush it projects 195mm, so it reads as a substantial object, closer to a chandelier in presence than to an oyster. Seven separate sources across 650mm give even light with no hotspot.

Why matt nickel rather than polished?

Because a polished surface 650mm across carrying seven lit sources would reflect every one of them back at the room.
