The Aurora PE20 is a 200mm pendant in iridescent rainbow glasson black 6W giving 235lm at 3000K,TRIAC dimmable, on a 2,000mm suspension.

Iridescent glass, and what it actually does

Rainbow here means iridescent a thin surface treatment thatsplits reflected light into shifting colour. Unlit and in daylight the glass showspinks, greens and golds that move as you walk past. Lit, most of that recedes andyou get a warm glow with a faint colour edge. So it isas much a daytime object as a light, which is unusual and is the reason to chooseit.

235 lumens is small. Know that before you buy. Iridescentglass absorbs a large share of the output the treatment that makes the colouris also what holds the light back. This is a decorative pendant: buy it for theglass, and plan other light in the room. It is not a task or dining light.

The smallest of three, and the one you hang in groups

200mm wide by 232mm high, at 1.54kg. At thissize a single pendant is a detail, not a statement it worksin twos and threes over a bench, down a stairwell or in a window. The Aurora alsocomes at 300mm (580lm) and 400mm (780lm),and mixing the three sizes at different drops is what the range is built for.

TRIAC dimming, which suits it

An ordinary leading-edge wall dimmer no remote, no app. On a decorativependant bought for its glass, being able to drop it to a glow is exactly right, andat low output the iridescence is more visible, not less.

It is ClassI earth required. Hard-wired to a120mm canopy on a 2,000mm adjustable suspension. Alicensed electrician installs it.

No CRI figure is recorded for any Aurora size. On adecorative fitting behind coloured glass that matters less than it would on a downlight, but we wouldrather say so than leave a gap. Ask us if you need it.

Where it works

• In twos and threes over a bench or an island.
• Stairwells, at staggered drops with the larger sizes.
• Windows, where daylight shows the iridescence.
• Not a task or dining light 235lm.
• Indoor and dry locations only IP20.

Questions

What does “rainbow” mean?

Iridescent a thin surface treatment that splits reflected light into shifting colour. Unlit and in daylight the glass shows pinks, greens and golds that move as you walk past. Lit, most of that recedes into a warm glow with a faint colour edge.

Is 235 lumens enough?

For a decorative pendant, yes; for a task or dining light, no. Iridescent glass absorbs a large share of the output the treatment that makes the colour is what holds the light back. Buy it for the glass and plan other light in the room.

Should I hang one or several?

Several. At 200mm a single Aurora is a detail rather than a statement it works in twos and threes over a bench, down a stairwell or in a window. The 300mm and 400mm sizes mix well with it at staggered drops.
