The Invar PE7B is a 1,278mm seven-light pendant bar in matt nickel withglass shades 40W total giving 3,040lm at 4000K,CRI above 90, TRIAC dimmable, on anadjustable 7001,700mm suspension.

On the length, and why we are stating it carefully. Theonly source that records a length gives 1278cm 12.78 metres, which is absurd for a pendant bar. It is plainly1,278mm, a unit error. But it is theonly source: our record carries no length and neither did the specification table.If you are fitting this to a defined space, ask us to confirm the measured lengthbefore you commit.

It weighs 11.1 kilograms, and no page said so. That isheavy for a pendant more than the 7kg two-tier Jura, and spread over1.28 metres from a single canopy. It needsa fixing into structure, not into plasterboard, and your electrician should know thefigure before the day of install.

An adjustable suspension 700 to 1,700mm

Unusual and genuinely useful. Most pendants give a fixed length of cable that youshorten at install. The Invar gives arange: 700mm at the shortest, 1,700mm at the longest.That means the same fitting suits a low ceiling over a bench and ahigher one over a table, and it can bere-set later if the room changes.

Seven sources at CRI above 90

40W giving 3,040lm is 76lm/W sound,and holding CRI above 90 at the same time, which usually costs efficiency. Over adining table or an island that combination is what you want: enough light to work by, andfood, timber and skin holding their real colour. Seven separate sources across 1.28 metresalso light the length evenly rather than pooling in the middle.

4000K, and TRIAC dimming to soften it

Natural white, fixed crisper than the 3000K most dining pendantsuse. On its own that would be a working light rather than an evening one, but itdims from an ordinary TRIAC leading-edge wall dimmer, and a dimmed 4000Ksource warms perceptibly as it drops. Specify a dimmer with it.

Exposed sockets and glass shades

The Invar look is minimal hardware: simple suspended sockets on a slim bar, with130mm glass shades. The frame isaluminium, iron and glass in matt nickel, on a190mm canopy, and the bar is 290mm deep front toback.

It is ClassI earth required and hard-wired. Alicensed electrician installs it and given the 11.1kg,show them the ceiling before the day.

Where it works

• Long dining tables and kitchen islands seven sources light the length evenly.
• Rooms where the drop may need changing 700 to 1,700mm.
• 11.1kg a structural fixing, planned in advance.
• Confirm the length with us before fitting it to a defined space.
• Specify a TRIAC dimmer 4000K at full is a working light.

Questions

How long is it?

1,278mm but confirm with us before fitting it to a defined space. The only source that records a length says 1278cm, which is 12.78 metres and plainly a unit error; our record carries no length and neither did the specification table.

How heavy is it?

11.1kg, and no page said so heavier than the 7kg two-tier Jura, spread over 1.28 metres from a single canopy. It needs a fixing into structure, not plasterboard, and your electrician should know before the day.

How far does it hang?

Between 700 and 1,700mm a range rather than a fixed length you shorten. The same fitting suits a low ceiling over a bench and a higher one over a table, and it can be re-set later.

Is it bright enough for a dining table?

Yes 3,040lm from 40W, at CRI above 90. Seven separate sources across 1.28 metres light the length evenly rather than pooling in the middle.

Why 4000K over a table?

It is crisper than the 3000K most dining pendants use, which on its own would make it a working light. But it dims from an ordinary TRIAC wall dimmer, and a dimmed 4000K source warms perceptibly as it drops. Specify a dimmer with it.

What does CRI above 90 buy me?

Food, timber and skin holding their real colour and it is unusual to get that alongside 76lm/W, because the two normally trade against each other.

Do I need an electrician?

Yes Class I, earth required, hard-wired, and at 11.1kg they should see the ceiling before the day of install.
