The Hanami PE44 is a 440mm iron pendant in a satin finish,in six colourways one E27 globe to 25W, not supplied.

Before your electrician orders anything: our sources disagreeabout whether this fitting needs an earth.

That determines how the fitting is wired. We have published ClassI earth required, because it is the safer assumption: a fitting wiredwith an earth it does not need is harmless, and one wired without an earth it does need is not.Ask us before installation and we will have the confirmed answer from Telbix.

Six colourways and that is genuinely unusual

Orange, green, beige, brass, nickel and black. Almost nothing else in thiscatalogue offers six, and two of them orange andgreen are colours you simply cannot get on a pendant elsewhere in the range.

That breadth is the point of the Hanami, and it changes how you useit:

• Match the room, not the light. With six options you can pick up a colour alreadyin the space a splashback, a joinery front, a rug rather than defaulting to black orbrass.
• Mix them. Three pendants over an island in three differentcolours is a deliberate, considered look that a single-finish range cannot give you.
• The two metals behave differently from the four colours.Brass and nickel reflect and change with the light; thepainted satin finishes are matt and constant. Mixing a metal with a colour isusually the more interesting pairing.

Note our variant list spells one of them Nickle. It isnickel.

Art Deco and Scandinavian an odd pairing that works

The description calls it an elegant blend of Art Deco and Scandi styles, andthat is a real description rather than filler:

• Art Deco contributes geometry a defined, symmetricalform with a clear outline, rather than the soft organic shapes of most contemporary pendants.
• Scandinavian contributes restraint no ornament, amatt satin surface rather than gloss or plating, and colour used asflat blocks.

The result is a fitting with a strong shape and no decoration, which is why itcarries strong colour well: an ornate fitting in orange would be too much, and a plain one is not.

No dimensions exist in any source beyond the44 in the name, which is its diameter in centimetres. There isno height, no canopy size, no suspension length and no weight anywhere thedatasheet’s dimension block is empty and our record carries none.

On a 440mm pendant the height and drop decide how it hangs over a table.Ask us before you order and we will get the figures from Telbix.

The globe and one thing we cannot tell you

One E27 to 25W, not supplied. No source says whether the shade isopen at the bottom, which decides what to buy:

• If the globe shows, buy a decorative LED filament and hang itabove eye level.
• If it is recessed, any warm globe will do and it can hang low.

Ask us before you buy a globe. Either way usewarm 2700K and note it matters differently by colourway: againstbrass, cool white reads green; against orange or green paint, coolwhite makes the colour look dull and chalky, where warm light makes it glow.

Dimming is not recorded in any source. On a fitting that simply holds an E27 itwill be globe dependent, as every other E27 fitting in this range is butwe have not asserted it. Ask us if a dimmer is planned.

IP20 indoor and dry locations only, hard-wired withno lead and plug. In iron, satin. RCM approved.

Where it works

• Over dining tables and islands singly, or three in mixed colours.
• Rooms with a colour worth picking up a splashback, joinery, a rug.
• Deco, Scandinavian and colour-led interiors.
• Confirm the protection class with us before it is wired.
• No dimensions exist beyond the 440mm diameter ask us before ordering.

Questions

Does it need an earth?

Our sources disagree, and this is the thing to settle before it is wired. The datasheet header says Class I earth required; the data block on our own page says Class II double insulated. We have published Class I because it is the safer assumption: a fitting wired with an earth it does not need is harmless, and one wired without an earth it does need is not. Ask us and we will have the confirmed answer.

How many colours does it come in?

Six orange, green, beige, brass, nickel and black. Almost nothing else in this catalogue offers six, and two of them, orange and green, are colours you cannot get on a pendant elsewhere in the range. Our variant list spells one Nickle; it is nickel.

Can I mix the colours?

Yes, and it is the best use of the range three pendants over an island in three different colours is a considered look a single-finish range cannot give you. Note that the two metals behave differently from the four paints: brass and nickel reflect and change with the light, while the painted satin finishes are matt and constant, so mixing a metal with a colour is usually the more interesting pairing.

How big is it, and how far does it drop?

Only the 440mm diameter is recorded there is no height, canopy size, suspension length or weight in any source. On a pendant this size the height and drop decide how it hangs over a table, so ask us before you order and we will get the figures.

What globe should I fit?

A warm 2700K E27 and it matters differently by colourway. Against brass, cool white reads green; against orange or green paint, cool white makes the colour look dull and chalky, where warm light makes it glow. Ask us whether the shade is open at the bottom before you buy, because no source says.

Can I dim it?

Dimming is not recorded in any source. On a fitting that simply holds an E27 it will be globe dependent, as every other E27 fitting here is, but we have not asserted it. Ask us if a dimmer is planned.

What does “Art Deco and Scandi” actually mean here?

Deco contributes geometry a defined, symmetrical form with a clear outline rather than the soft organic shapes of most contemporary pendants. Scandinavian contributes restraint: no ornament, a matt satin surface rather than gloss, and colour used as flat blocks. The result carries strong colour well, because an ornate fitting in orange would be too much and a plain one is not.
