The Aurora PE30 is a 300mm pendant in iridescent rainbow glasson black 12W giving 580lm at 3000K,TRIAC dimmable, on a 2,000mm suspension.

The middle size, and the most useful one

300mm wide by 333mm high at 2.6kg. This is thesize that works alone as well as in a group big enough to hold a small diningtable or a bedside, small enough to hang three over an island without crowding. The 200mm needscompany; the 400mm is a statement. The 300 does both jobs.

Iridescent glass a daytime object as well as a light

Rainbow means iridescent: a surface treatment thatsplits reflected light into shifting colour. In daylight, unlit, the glass showspinks, greens and golds that move as you walk past. Lit, that recedes into a warmglow with a colour edge. Very few pendants are worth looking at when they are off; this one is.

580 lumens is a modest output. The iridescent treatmentthat makes the colour also absorbs a large share of the light 48lm/Wwhere a plain glass pendant would give twice that. It is adecorative fitting: over a small table it will do, but plan other light in the roomand do not expect it to light a kitchen.

TRIAC dimming

An ordinary leading-edge wall dimmer no remote, no app. Worth having: atlow output the iridescence reads more strongly, so dimming does not just reduce the light, itchanges the character of the glass.

It is ClassI earth required. Hard-wired to a150mm canopy on a 2,000mm adjustable suspension. Alicensed electrician installs it. No CRI figure is recorded for any Aurora size ask us if you need it.

Three sizes, made to mix

200mm (235lm), 300mm (580lm), 400mm (780lm).Hanging all three at staggered drops in a stairwell or over a long bench is what therange is built for, and because they share the same glass and the same 3000K they read as onepiece rather than three fittings.

Where it works

• Over a small dining table, alone.
• In threes over an island or a long bench.
• Stairwells, staggered with the other two sizes.
• Not a kitchen task light 580lm.
• Indoor and dry locations only IP20.

Questions

Which Aurora size should I choose?

The 300mm is the one that works alone as well as in a group big enough to hold a small dining table or a bedside, small enough to hang three over an island. The 200mm needs company; the 400mm is a statement.

What does “rainbow” mean?

Iridescent a surface treatment that splits reflected light into shifting colour. In daylight, unlit, the glass shows pinks, greens and golds that move as you walk past. Very few pendants are worth looking at when they are off; this one is.

Is 580 lumens enough for a kitchen?

No. The iridescent treatment that makes the colour also absorbs a large share of the light 48lm/W where a plain glass pendant gives about twice that. Over a small table it will do; plan other light in the room.

Can I dim it?

Yes an ordinary TRIAC leading-edge wall dimmer. Worth having: at low output the iridescence reads more strongly, so dimming changes the character of the glass rather than just reducing the light.

Can I mix the three sizes?

That is what the range is built for. Hang all three at staggered drops in a stairwell or over a long bench they share the same glass and the same 3000K, so they read as one piece rather than three fittings.

What is the CRI?

Not recorded, for any Aurora size. Ask us if you need it.

Do I need an electrician?

Yes Class I, earth required, hard-wired to a 150mm canopy.
