The Moran 14light is a linear suspension 1,500mm of horizontal runcarrying fourteen mouth-blown glass globes around a central spine. That length is the whole point ofit, and it is also the thing to check first: this is a fitting for a long table or a long island, andit looks wrong over anything shorter than it.

Measure the table before the ceiling

At 1,500mm the Moran wants a table of roughly 1.8m or longer, so there is timbershowing at both ends rather than glass overhanging the edge. Over a kitchen island, run it along theaxis of the bench, not across it. If your table is shorter, the same family is made as a vertical3light that is the fitting for a round table or a stairwell, and it is a different order code.

Fourteen G9 globes, and none of them are in the box

Each of the fourteen holders takes a G9 globe up to 6W, andno globes are supplied. Order fourteen with the light. G9 is a small bi-pin capsule,so buy them all in one colour temperature and one brand mixed G9s in a row of clear glass is themost visible way to make an expensive pendant look cheap. Dimming depends entirely on the globes youfit; the fitting itself imposes no limit.

Three finishes, one shape

Antique gold with opal matt glass is the warm option and the one that reads as jewellery. Black withopal matt is the same softness in a colder key. Black with smoked glass is the only one where you seethe filament through the glass it is the most dramatic and the least forgiving of mismatched globes.

Where it works

• Long dining tables of 1.8m or more, hung along the axis of the table.
• Kitchen islands, run lengthways so the globes clear the bench edge.
• Reception and boardroom tables where a single linear gesture beats three separate pendants.
• High-ceilinged hallways over a console, using the full rod drop.

Specifying it

The fixture is 1,500mm long and 245mm in diameter, with a120 650mm canopy that canopy is large, and it needs a ceiling box thatcan sit under it. Drop is set with the supplied rods: one 300mm and two 600mm,so you are choosing from a set of fixed heights rather than trimming a cable. Fourteen G9 holders at6W each give 84W total. It runs on 240V, is IP20 and therefore indooronly, and is ClassI it requires an earth. Warranty is three years.

Supplied and supported by Lights For You. Because the rods are fixed lengths, decide the drop beforethe electrician is on site changing it afterwards means going back into the ceiling.

Questions

How long is it?

The fixture is 1,500mm long and 245mm in diameter, with a 120 650mm canopy.

Are the globes included?

No. It takes fourteen G9 globes of up to 6W each, and none are supplied. Order fourteen with the light.

Can I set the hanging height?

Within limits. It comes with one 300mm rod and two 600mm rods, so the drop is a combination of those fixed lengths rather than a trimmable cable.

Is it dimmable?

That depends on the G9 globes you fit. The fitting itself does not restrict dimming.

What size table does it suit?

Roughly 1.8m or longer, so the 1,500mm fixture has timber showing at both ends rather than glass overhanging the edge.

What finishes are there?

Antique gold with opal matt glass, black with opal matt, and black with smoked glass.

What is the warranty?

Three years.
