The Ariva PE180 is an 1,800mm linear pendant 32W,1,130lm, CRI above 90, TRIAC dimmable in black or white.

This is an ambient fitting, not a task light.1,130lm spread across 1.8 metres is a soft, low wash deliberately gentle.If you need to work under it, look at the Voluto instead, which gives3,120lm over a similar length. We would rather tell you now than after it isinstalled.

What the low output buys you

Softness. A long fitting at full task brightness over a dining table isuncomfortable to sit under you feel it on the back of your neck and it flattensthe food. The Ariva runs quietly, dims further, and lets the room keep some shadow. That is a legitimatedesign choice, not a shortcoming, as long as you know which one you are buying.

CRI above 90, which is where the quality sits

The Ariva spends its budget on colour accuracy rather than brightness. At>90, timber, stone, fabric and food all render properly. A brighter fitting withCRI80 lights the table better and shows it worse.

A wide, soft body

160mm wide and 125mm deep far broader than the slim bars in thisrange, and it includes a silicon diffusing element. Wide plus diffused is what producesan even glow along the whole length instead of a visible line of LEDs.

Colour temperature and dimming, both

3000/4000/5000K selected on the fitting, plusTRIAC (leading-edge) dimming. Check compatibility with us if yourdimmer is trailing-edge or smart.

Where it works

• Dining tables, where comfort beats brightness.
• Bedrooms and living rooms.
• Over an island as a second, softer layer.
• Not workbenches or prep areas ask us for the Voluto.

Questions

Is it bright enough to work under?

No 1,130lm across 1.8 metres is a soft ambient wash. If you need task light over that length, ask us about the Voluto, which gives 3,120lm.

Why would I want a dimmer fitting?

Comfort. A long fitting at full task brightness over a dining table is uncomfortable to sit under and flattens the food. The Ariva runs quietly and lets the room keep some shadow.

What does CRI above 90 give me?

Timber, stone, fabric and food rendered properly. A brighter fitting at CRI80 lights the table better and shows it worse.

Can I dim it?

Yes, on a TRIAC (leading-edge) dimmer, and you can select 3000, 4000 or 5000K as well. Check with us if your dimmer is trailing-edge or smart.

Why is it so wide?

160mm wide with a silicon diffusing element wide plus diffused is what gives an even glow along the length instead of a visible line of LEDs.

Do I need globes?

No. The LED is integrated and included.

Can I install it myself?

No. It is ClassI, hard-wired and requires an earth.
