The Lasian PE40 is a 400mm two-light pendant with afluted resin diffuser in white with antique gold twoE27 globes to 25W each, not supplied, on a2,000mm suspension.

Fluted resin and why it is not just moulded plastic

The shade is moulded resin with vertical fluting, and the two things togetherproduce the effect. Resin is translucent, so light passesthrough the shade as well as out of it unlike an opaque fabric drum. Thefluting then breaks that transmitted light intosoft vertical bands of brighter and dimmer.

The result is a shade that glows with visible structure: warmer and softer thanglass, more interesting than a plain diffuser, and with no visible globe and no glarefrom any angle. That is what our page meant by “a subtle decorative” something before it was cut off.

Two globes 25 watts each, 50 in total

Our on-page table stated this correctly as 2 25W, which is worthsaying because our product record shows only 25W and several fittings in thisrange state the total as though it were the per-globe figure.

Because the resin hides the globes completely, the choice issimple brightness and warmth only, no decorative filaments needed.Use two identical warm 2700K E27 LEDs; the fluting will show any differencebetween them as uneven bands.

Dimming depends on the globes our record saysNo, the datasheet says globe dependent, and the datasheet is right. Ona translucent shade, dimming is particularly good: low, the whole shade becomes a soft flutedlantern.

400 by 385mm nearly square, and substantial

400mm wide by 385mm high, on a100mm canopy with 2,000mm of adjustable drop. At almostone-to-one it reads as a solid sculptural form rather than a shade and at this size, with two globes inside it, it isbright enough to be the main light over a dining table or an island.

The smaller 300mm Lasian takes only one globe, so this isnot simply a size step: it is roughly twice the light.

No weight is recorded for a 400mm resin andiron pendant. Ask us before the fixing is chosen. It isClassI earth required andIP20 indoor and dry locations only.

Part of a three-form range

Lasian comes as pendants, table lamps and floor lamps, all with the samefluted resin and antique gold. That makes it straightforward tocarry one idea through a room at three heights a pendant over the table, a table lamp on thesideboard, a floor lamp beside a chair.

Where it works

• Over dining tables and islands two globes, main-light output.
• Entries and living rooms, as a sculptural form.
• Alongside Lasian table and floor lamps.
• Use two identical globes the fluting shows any difference.
• Ask us for the weight before the fixing is chosen.

Questions

What does fluted resin do?

Resin is translucent, so light passes through the shade as well as out of it unlike an opaque fabric drum. The vertical fluting then breaks that transmitted light into soft bands of brighter and dimmer, so the shade glows with visible structure: warmer and softer than glass, with no visible globe and no glare from any angle.

Is it 25 watts or 50?

25W per globe, two globes, 50W in total. Our on-page table stated that correctly; the product record shows only 25.

What globes should I fit?

Two identical warm 2700K E27 LEDs. The resin hides them completely, so brightness and warmth are the only decisions but the fluting will show any difference between the two as uneven bands.

Is it brighter than the 300mm version?

Roughly twice as bright the 300mm Lasian takes one globe and this takes two. It is not simply a size step.

Can I dim it?

With the right globes, yes. Our record says No; the datasheet says globe dependent, and it is right. On a translucent shade dimming is particularly good low, the whole shade becomes a soft fluted lantern.

How heavy is it?

Not recorded, for a 400mm resin and iron pendant. Ask us before the fixing is chosen.

Does it match anything else?

Yes Lasian comes as pendants, table lamps and floor lamps, all with the same fluted resin and antique gold, so one idea carries through a room at three heights.
