The Emerson PE35 is a 350mm industrial-style iron pendant oneE27 globe to 25W, not supplied inantique gold, black, chrome or nickel, on a1,200mm suspension.

The suspension is 1,200mm, not the usual 2,000.Ample for a standard ceiling, not enough for a stairwell or a void. Check the dropyou need before you order.

The middle size, and the most flexible

350mm wide by 260mm high, at 1.5kg. This is thesize that works alone as well as in a pair big enough to hold a small diningtable or a breakfast bar on its own, and not so large that two over an island crowd each other. The250mm wants company; the 450mm is a statement.

Four finishes, and they behave very differently

• Chrome polished and reflective; mirrors the room andshines under other lights.
• Nickel the softer metal, cooler than gold and quieter than chrome.
• Black a solid silhouette against a pale ceiling.
• Antique gold warm and aged rather than bright.

At 350mm the finish matters more than at 250: there ishalf again as much surface catching light.

It does not change colour. Our record carries acolour-changing flag against it. It takes one ordinary E27 globe and includesnone.

An open shade, so the globe is part of the design

One E27 to 25W, not supplied, and visible. Adecorative filament globe suits the Emerson far better than a plain frosted one, andat this size the globe is a larger part of what you see.Dimming is globe dependent a dimmable globe with a wall dimmer will dim it;a plain one will not. Our record says No, which is misleading.

It is ClassI earth required. Hard-wired to a120mm canopy; a licensed electrician installs it.

Questions

Which Emerson size should I choose?

The 350mm is the flexible one big enough to hold a small dining table or a breakfast bar alone, and not so large that two over an island crowd each other. The 250mm wants company; the 450mm is a statement.

How far does it hang?

1,200mm, not the 2,000mm most pendants here give. Ample for a standard ceiling and not enough for a stairwell or a void.

Does it change colour?

No. Our record carries a colour-changing flag, which is wrong it takes one ordinary E27 globe and includes none.

Which finish should I choose?

Chrome mirrors the room and shines under other lights; nickel is softer, cooler than gold and quieter than chrome; black is a solid silhouette; antique gold is warm and aged. At 350mm there is half again as much surface catching light as on the 250, so it matters more.

Will I see the globe?

Yes an open shade, and at this size the globe is a larger part of what you see. Buy a decorative filament globe.

Can I dim it?

It depends on the globe. A dimmable E27 with a wall dimmer will dim; a plain one will not. Our record says No, which is misleading.

Do I need an electrician?

Yes Class I, earth required, hard-wired.
