The Taft PE75 is a 750mm rope-form pendant in gun metal matte integrated LED, 20W for 687lm at 3000K and itinstalls two ways.

This is a decorative fitting, not a working light.687lm from 20W is about 34 lumens per watt roughlya third of what the efficient pendants in this range deliver. Buy the Taft for theobject; plan other light in the room.

Two installation orientations and we cannot tell you what they are

Telbix specify that the 75cm Taft can be installed two ways, and the 120cmbar cannot. It is presumably horizontal or vertical, or suspended flat versus hung fromone end but no source says, and the difference would change the fittingcompletely. Ask us and we will get the detail from Telbix before you commit to aposition.

The rope form is the whole product

Rather than an extruded bar with a diffuser, the Taft is built to look like abraided rope or cord iron with silicon and fabric elements. It reads as atextile object that happens to glow, which is a completely different presence from atechnical light fitting.

Shorter and lighter than the bar

750 190mm at 1.6kg, against the 120cmversions 1,200mm and 2kg. That makes the 75 the one for asmaller table, an island, or a stairwell where the long bar would be overbearing and it is deeper front-to-back, so it reads as more of a sculptural mass and less of a line.

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.

It does not dim

One level only, at 3000K. At 687lm it is already gentle, but there is noway to soften it further.

There is a wall light and a 120cm bar

Taft is made as a wall light, a 120cm horizontal bar and this75cm pendant. The same rope form runs through all three, so a matched set reads asone scheme.

Where it works

• Smaller dining tables and islands.
• Stairwells and lounges.
• Alongside proper task or ambient light.
• Not as a rooms only light source.

Questions

What are the “two ways” it installs?

We cannot tell you. Telbix specify that this pendant can be installed two ways and the 120cm bar cannot, but no source says what they are. Ask us and we will get the detail before you commit to a position.

Is it bright enough to light a table?

No 687lm from 20W is about a third of what the efficient pendants here deliver. Buy it for the object and plan other light in the room.

How does it compare to the 120cm Taft?

Shorter and lighter 750mm and 1.6kg against 1,200mm and 2kg and deeper front to back, so it reads as a sculptural mass rather than a line. Better for a smaller table or a stairwell.

What does “rope-form” mean?

It is built to look like a braided rope or cord iron with silicon and fabric elements. It reads as a textile object that happens to glow.

Can I dim it?

No, one level only at 3000K.

Are there other Taft fittings?

Yes a wall light and a 120cm horizontal bar. The same rope form runs through all three.

Do I need globes?

No. The LED is integrated and included.
