The Tarson 1T is a 800mm illuminated ring only40mm thick in black with gold, integrated LED at40W for 1,048lm.

Eighty centimetres across and four centimetres thick

That ratio is the product. A ring twenty times wider than it is deep reads asa drawn circle of light rather than an object hanging in the room from the sideit nearly disappears, and from below it is a clean unbroken halo. It is also why it weighs only2.2kg at that size.

Our two sources differ tenfold on the thickness 40mm on the datasheet, 400mm in the record. 40mm is what a single-tier ringis, and it is what we publish. If the depth is critical to your ceiling,ask us and we will confirm.

Black with gold

A matte black ring with gold the gold catching light along the inner edgewhere the LED sits, so the halo reads warm even though the frame is dark. On a large plain form thatsingle accent is what stops it looking industrial.

1,048 lumens presence, not brightness

Be clear about the scale: 40W producing 1,048lm is about 26 lumens perwatt, which is decorative. An 800mm ring is bought for the shape it draws in aroom. Plan other light if the space has to be usable.

A single tier there is a three-tier too

Tarson is made as a single-tier ring and a three-tier. The single is the quietversion, and it is the one that suits an ordinary ceiling; the three-tier stacks ringsat different heights and needs a void or a stairwell to be seen properly.

Silicon in the build

Alongside iron there is silicon absent from our record and it is whatdiffuses the LED into a continuous line around the ring rather than a row of visibledots. On a form this simple, that evenness is the whole execution.

It does not dim

One level only, at 3000K.

Where it works

• Over round or square dining tables.
• Entry halls, as a drawn shape.
• Above a seating group in an open-plan room.
• Alongside proper lighting, not instead of it.

Questions

How thick is the ring?

40mm twenty times narrower than it is wide, which is what makes it read as a drawn circle rather than an object. Our record says 400mm; the datasheet says 40mm and that is what a single-tier ring is.

Is it bright enough to light a table?

No 1,048lm from 40W is about 26 lumens per watt, which is decorative. An 800mm ring is bought for the shape it draws. Plan other light if the space has to be usable.

How heavy is it?

Only 2.2kg at 800mm across the thin section is what allows it.

Single tier or three?

The single is the quiet version and suits an ordinary ceiling. The three-tier stacks rings at different heights and needs a void or stairwell to be seen properly.

Why does it look like a continuous line?

A silicon diffusing element absent from our record spreads the LED evenly around the ring rather than leaving a row of visible dots.

Can I dim it?

No, one level only at 3000K.

Do I need globes?

No. The LED is integrated and included.
