The Brine PE40 is a 400mm opal glass pendant oneE27 globe to 25W, not supplied inpolished nickel, matt black or satin antique gold, on a2,600mm suspension.

It takes an E27, and our record did not say so. The globetype was missing from the record entirely. It isE27 to 25W, not supplied.

The single-pendant size

400mm wide by 501mm high, against the smallBrines 288mm. That is the point at which a pendantholds a dining table on its own the 288 is made to hang in a run of two orthree. If you have one ceiling point and one table, this is the one.

Opal glass at 400mm a large, even glow

Opal hides the globe completely, so there isno bright point and no glare from any angle. At 400mm that meansa large softly glowing form over the table rather than a lit shade with a hot spotin it and because nothing shows through, the globe you fit affects only brightnessand warmth, not the look. You can hang it low over a table without anyone across itsquinting.

A 2,600mm drop

2.6 metres, where most pendants here give 2,000mm. It shortens at install,so the extra length costs nothing if you do not need it and it makes a 400mm opalpendant a genuine option for a stairwell or a void, which is unusual for a fittingthis shape. Canopy is 120mm.

Three finishes, all available in both sizes

• Polished nickel bright and reflective; mirrors the room.
• Matt black a solid dark ring against the opal. Thegraphic choice, and at 400mm the strongest.
• Satin antique gold warm and aged; the softest against a whiteshade.

At this size the metal ring is a larger part of what you see, sothe finish matters more here than on the 288.

It is ClassI earth required and hard-wired. Alicensed electrician installs it. Dimming is globe dependent: a dimmable E27 with awall dimmer will dim it; a plain globe will not. Our record says No, which ismisleading and on a fitting bought for its even glow, dimming is worth having.

Where it works

• Over a dining table, as the single pendant.
• Entries and stairwells the 2,600mm drop reaches.
• Low over a table opal never glares.
• Over a bench, a run of the 288mm may suit better.
• Indoor and dry locations only IP20.

Questions

What globe does it take?

An E27 to 25W, not supplied. Worth stating because the globe type was missing from our record entirely.

Should I get the 400 or the 288?

The 400mm is the single-pendant size it holds a dining table on its own. The 288mm is made to hang in a run of two or three over a bench or an island.

Will I see the globe?

No. Opal hides it completely, so there is no bright point and no glare from any angle. You can hang it low over a table without anyone across it squinting, and the globe you fit affects only brightness and warmth, not the look.

How far does it hang?

2,600mm, where most pendants here give 2,000. It shortens at install, so the extra costs nothing if you do not need it and it makes a 400mm opal pendant a genuine option for a stairwell, which is unusual for this shape.

Which finish should I choose?

At 400mm the metal ring is a larger part of what you see, so it matters more than on the small one. Polished nickel mirrors the room; matt black is the strongest graphic choice; satin antique gold is the softest against the white shade.

Can I dim it?

It depends on the globe. A dimmable E27 with a wall dimmer will dim; a plain globe will not. Our record says No, which is misleading and on a fitting bought for its even glow, dimming is worth having.

Do I need an electrician?

Yes Class I, earth required, hard-wired.
