The Ariva PE62 is a 620mm pendant in sand-texturedblack or white 26W giving 1,180lm, withswitchable 3000K / 4000K / 5000K,CRI above 90 and TRIAC dimming, on a2,000mm suspension.

Colour, dimming AND CRI above 90 all three is unusual

Most fittings give you two of the three. Tri-colour fittings are usually notdimmable; dimmable fittings are usually fixed in colour; andCRI above 90 is usually reserved for downlights and spots. The Ariva hasall three: choose 3000K warm, 4000K natural or 5000Kcool at the fitting, set the level from anordinary TRIAC leading-edge wall dimmer, and gettrue colour on whatever is below it. Over a dining table that combination is exactlywhat you want and rarely what you can buy.

620mm across and only 130mm deep

A broad, shallow form. Over a table that matters: itcovers the surface without hanging into your eyeline, where a deep fitting of thesame width would. On a 200mm canopy with2,000mm of adjustable suspension.

1,180 lumens is moderate for the size.26W at 45lm/W the efficiency goes intodiffusion and colour accuracy rather than raw output. Over a dining table at night itis comfortable; as a kitchens only light it is not. If you want a 620mm fitting thatcarries a room, the Serda 630mm gives 1,860lm but it dims onlyby touch, and its CRI is 83.

Sand texture, in black or white

Sand rather than gloss. On a 620mm disc hanging in a room that is the rightchoice a gloss finish that size catches every other light in the room andshows every mark. Black reads as a solid form against a pale ceiling;white nearly disappears into one.

It is ClassI earth required and hard-wired. Alicensed electrician installs it genuinely, on this page. Body isaluminium, iron and silicon; the silicon is missing from our record and does thesealing and diffusing work.

One of a family

Ariva comes in several sizes, all in the same two sand finishes with the sametri-colour switching and TRIAC dimming. Because the CRI and colour settings are shared,a run of different sizes through a house stays consistent.

Where it works

• Over dining tables CRI above 90 shows on food and timber.
• Bedrooms and living rooms wanting colour and dimming from a wall switch.
• Low ceilings only 130mm deep.
• Not a kitchens only light 1,180lm.
• Indoor and dry locations only IP20.

Questions

Can I change both the colour and the brightness?

Yes, and with CRI above 90 as well all three together is unusual. Most tri-colour fittings are not dimmable, most dimmable fittings are fixed in colour, and CRI above 90 is usually reserved for downlights.

What kind of dimmer does it need?

An ordinary TRIAC leading-edge wall dimmer no remote, no app, and no reaching up to a touch sensor.

Is it bright enough for a kitchen?

Not as the only light 1,180lm from 26W, with the efficiency going into diffusion and colour accuracy rather than raw output. Over a dining table at night it is comfortable. If you want a 620mm fitting that carries a room, the Serda 630mm gives 1,860lm but it dims only by touch and its CRI is 83.

How far does it hang into the room?

Only 130mm, so it covers a table without hanging into your eyeline. The suspension is 2,000mm and adjusts at install.

Black or white?

Black reads as a solid form against a pale ceiling; white nearly disappears into one. Both are sand-textured rather than gloss, which on a 620mm disc matters gloss that size catches every other light in the room.

What is it made of?

Aluminium, iron and silicon. The silicon is missing from our record and does the sealing and diffusing work.

Do I need an electrician?

Yes Class I, earth required, hard-wired.
