The Atico PE1 is a 150mm single pendant inchampagne or smoke glass integrated 4W LED giving210lm at 3000K, on a 2,000mm suspension.

Champagne or smoke and they are genuinely different lights

Both are tinted glass, so both show the light source and bothcolour the light on its way out. But they do opposite things:

• Champagne a warm golden tint. Itadds warmth to an already-warm 3000K source, so the light readscandle-like, and the fitting looks bright and jewel-like when lit.
• Smoke a grey tint. Itcuts and cools the output, so the light is dimmer and more restrained, and thefitting stays dark and object-like when it is off which is the point of smokeglass.

If you want the pendant to be a light, choose champagne. If you want it to bean object that happens to light, choose smoke.

210 lumens an accent, and it should be used in numbers

4W, at 53 lumens per watt modest, and the tintedglass is exactly why. This is not a room light and not a task light. A single Aticois a point of interest; three or five in a run over a bench, or in astairwell, is a composition and starts to add up to useful light.

The 15-light cluster is a real 15-light. Atico also comes asa fifteen-light cluster mixing both glasses smoke andchampagne together, where this single pendant is one or the other. That mix is the point ofthe big one: the two tints at different heights read as depth rather than as a repeated fitting.

150mm wide, 232mm tall

Small and vertical, on a 120mm canopy with2,000mm of adjustable drop. That proportion is what lets several hang closetogether without crowding the eye reads them as a line of verticals ratherthan a row of blobs.

The LED is integrated and not dimmable. There isnothing to buy and nothing to replace and equallynothing to change. On a 210-lumen accent that is reasonable, but in arun of five it means on or off, so plan the switching. And unlike aglobe-fed fitting, you cannot soften it later by changing the lamp the tintyou choose is the light you get.

Iron and glass

The tinted glass over an iron frame, in antique gold. Note thesource is visible through tinted glass sohang it above eye level. Across a table at seated height, a visible 210-lumen pointis uncomfortable to look at, and there is no diffuser option.

Where it works

• In runs of three or five over a bench or island, above eye level.
• Stairwells and hallway ends, as points of light.
• Alongside the fifteen-light Atico cluster in a connected space.
• The source is visible do not hang it at seated eye height.
• Integrated LED, not dimmable the tint you choose is the light you get.

Questions

Champagne or smoke?

They do opposite things. Champagne is a warm golden tint that adds warmth to an already-warm source, so the light reads candle-like and the fitting looks bright and jewel-like when lit. Smoke is a grey tint that cuts and cools the output, so the light is dimmer and the fitting stays dark and object-like when off. Champagne if you want a light; smoke if you want an object that happens to light.

Is 210 lumens enough?

For a single accent, yes but it is not a room light or a task light. Three or five in a run over a bench or in a stairwell is a composition and starts to add up to useful light.

Can I dim it?

No the LED is integrated, so there is nothing to buy, nothing to replace and nothing to change. In a run of five that means on or off, so plan the switching. Unlike a globe-fed fitting you cannot soften it later: the tint you choose is the light you get.

Where should I hang it?

Above eye level. The source is visible through tinted glass, and across a table at seated height a visible 210-lumen point is uncomfortable to look at with no diffuser option to fix it.

What is the 15-light version?

A genuine fifteen-light cluster, and it mixes both glasses smoke and champagne together where this single pendant is one or the other. That mix is the point of the big one: the two tints at different heights read as depth rather than a repeated fitting.

Why is it only 53 lumens per watt?

The tinted glass. It absorbs a share of the output on the way through, which is the trade for the colour it gives back.

How many should I hang?

Three or five over a bench or island. The 150 by 232mm proportion lets several hang close together without crowding the eye reads them as a line of verticals rather than a row of blobs.
