The Jonsel PE20 is a 200mm pendant with a stretched fabric shade in black orwhite one E27 globe to 25W, not supplied, on a2,000mm suspension.

The elastic shade, and what makes it different

Soft fabric stretched over a frame rather than a stiff drum. Because it isthin and under tension it is translucent: the shadeglows across its whole surface instead of only throwing light out of the top andbottom. The stretch also gives a seamless curve with no visible ribs, which is whatmakes it read as minimal rather than traditional.

The light is soft, even and diffused in every direction, withno glare and no visible globe.

The smallest of three and the one built for runs

200mm wide, shade 190mm high, 0.55kg. At this size a singleJonsel is a detail; it is at its best in arun of three or five over a bench or island. Over a dining table alone it will lookundersized the 300mm or the largest size is the one for that.

0.55 kilograms is almost nothing. A run offive is under 3kg across the whole ceiling, on100mm canopies. For a run of pendants this is about as straightforward as aninstall gets, and it opens up positions a plasterboard ceiling with no joist where you wantit that a 3kg pendant would rule out.

Black or white a choice about light, not just colour

On a translucent shade the colour changes what the fitting does:

• White the shade glows and pushes light into the room fromits whole surface. Ambient, softer, and it makes a small pendant read larger.
• Black little light passes through, so the output goesdown. A tighter pool, more contrast, and the fitting stays a darkshape against the ceiling.

In a run of five over an island, black gives youfive defined pools on the bench; white gives you acontinuous soft wash. Genuinely different rooms.

No overall height is recorded in any source only the shade height of 190mm. Ask us if the clearance istight.

Dimming depends on the globe our record saysNo, the datasheet says globe dependent, and the datasheet is right.Fit dimmable E27 LEDs with a wall dimmer, and on a translucent shade the effect atlow level is very good. In a run of five, ask us for a matched set fivedifferent LEDs on one dimmer is where flicker starts.

ClassI earth required,IP20 indoor and dry locations only. A licensed electrician installs it.

Where it works

• Runs of three or five over benches and islands.
• Bedsides and small spaces, singly.
• Ceilings where weight is a constraint five is under 3kg.
• Alone over a dining table it will look undersized.
• White glows; black throws its light down. Choose on effect.

Questions

What is an elastic fabric shade?

Soft fabric stretched over a frame rather than a stiff drum. Thin and under tension, so it is translucent the shade glows across its whole surface rather than only throwing light out of the top and bottom with a seamless curve and no visible ribs.

One or several?

Several. At 200mm a single Jonsel is a detail; it is at its best in a run of three or five over a bench or island. Over a dining table alone it will look undersized use the 300mm or the largest size.

Black or white?

It changes what the fitting does. White glows and pushes light into the room from its whole surface ambient, softer, and it makes a small pendant read larger. Black passes little light through, so the output goes down: a tighter pool with more contrast. In a run of five, black gives five defined pools on the bench and white gives a continuous soft wash.

Is it easy to hang several?

Exceptionally 0.55kg each, so five is under 3kg across the whole ceiling on 100mm canopies. That opens up positions a 3kg pendant would rule out, like a plasterboard ceiling with no joist where you want it.

How tall is the whole fitting?

No source records it only the 190mm shade height. Ask us if the clearance is tight.

Can I dim it?

With dimmable E27 LEDs and a wall dimmer our record says No and the datasheet says globe dependent, which is right. On a translucent shade the effect at low level is very good. In a run of five, ask us for a matched set: five different LEDs on one dimmer is where flicker starts.

Will I see the globe?

No the diffusion is even in every direction, with no glare and no visible globe.
