The MAX-75 is not brighter than the MAX-50. It is less glary and that is the point

• The same light spread over 50% more emitting area is roughly a third less surfacebrightness.
• Which is the whole reason to choose it, and nothing in the catalogue says so. A buyer comparing a 50 and a 75 would reasonably assume the wider one is brighter.It is not. It is gentler.
• On a suspended pendant that matters more than anywhere else, because thediffuser sits at or near eye level for anyone sitting under it. Over a boardroom ordining table, a lower-luminance line is the difference between a comfortable room and one where peoplesquint at the person opposite.
• Take the MAX-75 where people sit beneath it and look across. Take theMAX-50 where the fitting is high, narrow sight lines matter, or the run has to look slim.

It is also a physically bigger object

• Profile 75mm wide 95mm high, against the MAX-50’s 50 75mm.
• That is 50% wider and 27% deeper a noticeably more substantial lineacross a ceiling.
• On a long run in a large room that reads as deliberate; in a small room ora low ceiling it can dominate.
• Two MAX-75 datasheets in this range state the profile as 75 75mm while theirrecords say 95mm high. This listing’s sheet and record agree at 95mm, butif the exact section matters, ask us to confirm.

It records “not dimmable” and sells DALI, 0-10 V and tunable white

• 21 variants including DALI, 010V and TUNABLE/DALI, on a listing recordingdimmable = No.
• The base product is non-dimmable and control is a variant choice asingle yes/no field cannot say that, so filtering on dimmable hides all 9 MAX profilelistings.
• On a low-glare pendant over a table, dimming is the natural companion: the wideaperture handles glare at full output, and dimming handles the evening.
• TUNABLE/DALI shifts colour temperature from the controller. DALI only, and in noproduct field.
• Choose the control before the finish retro-fitting DALI means replacing theluminaire.

Specifying it

• 2,466lm/m at 3000K, 2,600lm/m at 4000K. About150lm/W.
• Extruded 6063 aluminium, clear anodised, black or white. Flat high-outputopal-frost PMMA diffuser. Osram LED boards which matter on a long run,where board-to-board colour variation shows as banding.
• CRI 80. 120. 50,000hrs.IP20.
• Over a table, 750900mm above the surface. With a MAX-75 youcan go a little lower than with a MAX-50, because the lower surface brightness is more forgiving inthe eye line.
• On request: high-output LED boards and integrated emergency. Neither is avariant.

Where it works

• Over boardroom and dining tables where people sit beneath and lookacross.
• Reception counters at close working distance.
• Large open-plan offices, where the wider line reads as deliberate.
• Not in a small room or under a low ceiling the MAX-50 is the slimmerline.
• IP20 indoor and dry only.

Suspended LED profile pendant, sold per metre. 17.3W/m. 2,466lm/m (3000K),2,600lm/m (4000K). 3000K, 4000K or tunable white. Plain, DALI or010V. CRI 80. 120. IP20. Profile 75 95mm, extruded 6063 aluminium. Flat opal-frostPMMA diffuser. Osram LED boards. 50,000hrs. 3-year warranty. Made to order allow up to 10 business days. THE MAX-75 IS NOT BRIGHTER THAN THE MAX-50 same power, same output, from a 50% wider aperture, so about a third less surface brightness. It is theLOW-GLARE choice, which is what a pendant over a table needs. It is also 50% wider and 27% deeper as anobject. Recorded as not dimmable while selling DALI, 0-10V and tunable variants.

Questions

Is the MAX-75 brighter than the MAX-50?

No and this is the thing nothing in the catalogue tells you. They draw the same 17.3W per metre and give the same 2,466 lumens per metre. The difference is the aperture: 75mm wide against 50mm. The same light spread over 50% more emitting area is roughly a third less surface brightness. So the MAX-75 is not the brighter product, it is the gentler one, and that is the whole reason to choose it. A buyer comparing the two would reasonably assume the opposite.

When does the lower glare actually matter?

On a suspended pendant more than anywhere else, because the diffuser sits at or near eye level for anyone sitting under it. Over a boardroom or dining table, a lower-luminance line is the difference between a comfortable room and one where people squint at the person opposite. Take the MAX-75 where people sit beneath it and look across; take the MAX-50 where the fitting is high, sight lines matter, or the run has to look slim.

How much bigger is it as an object?

Noticeably. The profile is 75mm wide 95mm high against the MAX-50’s 50 75mm 50% wider and 27% deeper. On a long run in a large room that reads as deliberate; in a small room or under a low ceiling it can dominate. One caveat: two other MAX-75 datasheets in this range state the profile as 75 75mm while their records say 95mm high. This listing’s sheet and record agree at 95mm, but if the exact section matters, ask us to confirm.

Can I dim it?

On the DALI or 010V variants, yes. The listing records dimmable as No because a single yes/no field cannot express a variant axis nine MAX profile listings are in the same position, so filtering a catalogue on dimmable hides all of them. On a low-glare pendant over a table, dimming is the natural companion: the wide aperture handles glare at full output and dimming handles the evening. Choose the control before the finish, because retro-fitting DALI means replacing the luminaire.

How high should I hang it?

Over a table, 750 to 900mm above the surface is the usual range and with a MAX-75 you can go a little lower than with a MAX-50, because the lower surface brightness is more forgiving in the eye line. That is worth having on a low ceiling, where a slim high-luminance line at 900mm can be more uncomfortable than a wide low-luminance one at 800mm.

What does TUNABLE/DALI give me?

Colour temperature shifted from the control system rather than fixed at 3000K or 4000K for the life of the fitting warm in the evening, neutral during the day. It is DALI only, so a 010V system cannot have it, and it appears in no product field at all. Over a boardroom table it pairs naturally with the low-glare aperture: a comfortable fitting that also suits the time of day.

Why do the Osram boards matter?

On a long run, more than anywhere else. A 6-metre pendant is several boards end to end, and any colour variation between them shows as banding along the diffuser the commonest visible fault in linear lighting, and more visible on a wide aperture than a narrow one because there is more diffuser to see it on. A specified engine makes that less likely and makes a replacement years later more likely to match.
