The Taft PE120 is a 1,200mm horizontal bar pendant with arope-like sculptural form, in gun metal matte integrated LED, 30W,886lm at 3000K.

This is a decorative fitting, not a working light.886lm across 1.2 metres is about 30 lumens per watt roughlya quarter of what the efficient linear pendants in this range deliver. Buy the Taft forthe object; plan other light in the room. If you need to see what you are eating, askus about the Voluto.

The rope form is the whole product

Rather than an extruded aluminium bar with a diffuser, the Taft is built to look like arope or braided cord suspended horizontally iron with silicon and fabricelements. It reads as a textile object that happens to glow, which is a completelydifferent presence from a technical light fitting, and the reason to choose it.

Gun metal matte

Darker and cooler than bronze, warmer than black a neutral thatrecedes against most walls while the form does the talking. Matte throughout, sonothing glares off it.

Adjustable cords

Suspended on 2,000mm adjustable cords, so the height is set at installation.On a 1.2-metre horizontal fitting, getting the drop level matters more than on a smallpendant a few millimetres out at one end shows along the whole length.

A wide canopy

490 80mm not a small round plate but a long bar spreading thefixing across the ceiling. Check it against a raked or lined ceiling, and against theposition of the existing point, before installation day.

It does not dim

Stated plainly: one level only. At 886lm it is already gentle, so in practicethat suits what it is but there is no way to soften it further.

There is a wall light and a 75cm pendant

Taft is made as a wall light, this 120cm bar, and a75cm pendant that installs two ways. The same rope form runs through all three,so a matched set genuinely reads as one scheme.

Questions

Is it bright enough to light a dining table?

No 886lm across 1.2 metres is about a quarter of what the efficient linear pendants here deliver. Buy it for the object and plan other light in the room. Ask us about the Voluto if you need to see what you are eating.

What does “rope-like” mean?

It is built to look like a braided cord suspended horizontally iron with silicon and fabric elements. It reads as a textile object that happens to glow rather than a technical light fitting.

Can I dim it?

No, one level only. At 886lm it is already gentle, but there is no way to soften it further.
