The Brevan PE5 is a 690mm five-light pendant inantique gold or black with alabaster-effect glass shades five E27 globes to 25W each, not supplied, on a1,500mm suspension.

Alabastro what it means and what it does

Our page called the shades alabastro, the Italian trade term foralabaster-effect glass: white, dense and faintly veined, made to looklike the stone.

The behaviour is what matters. Clear glass reveals the globe;frosted glass gives a flat even panel. Alabaster glass is slightly uneven indensity, so it glows with a soft cloudiness that varies across each shade and across five shades that variation gives the fittingdepth rather than five identical glowing balls.

Five lights across 690mm the domestic size

690mm wide by 368mm high. This is the Brevan for anormal dining room it suits a table of about1.4metres, where the 910mm eight-light wants 1.8 and up.At five globes to 25W it is still comfortably the room’s main light.

The suspension is 1,500mm, not the usual 2,000. Ampleon a standard ceiling; on a raked or high ceiling it may not be.Ask us before ordering if your ceiling is above standard.

Five globes and the glass makes it simple

Five E27 to 25W each, none supplied. Thealabaster glass hides the globes, so the choice isbrightness and warmth only no decorative filaments, and no need for the fiveto match visually.

Use warm 2700K, particularly in antique gold, where coolwhite reads green.

Dimming depends on the globes. Our record saysNo; the datasheet says globe dependent, and thedatasheet is right. Over a dining table it is worth having ask us for a matched set of five, because five LEDs on one dimmer is where mismatchedbrands flicker.

No weight is recorded for a 690mm iron and glass fitting carryingfive glass shades. Ask us before the fixing is chosen.ClassI earth required,IP20 indoor and dry locations only.

Antique gold or black

Against white glass the two do opposite things. Antique gold iswarm and tonal metal and glass sit close together and the fitting reads asone soft object. Black is high contrast: the frame becomes a graphicoutline and the five white shades read as bright points within it.

Questions

What does “alabastro” mean?

The Italian trade term for alabaster-effect glass white, dense and faintly veined, made to look like the stone. Our page used the term without explaining it.

What does the glass do to the light?

It is slightly uneven in density, so it glows with a soft cloudiness that varies across each shade. Clear glass reveals the globe and frosted gives a flat even panel; across five shades this variation gives the fitting depth rather than five identical glowing balls.

Five lights or eight?

Five for a normal dining room and a table of about 1.4 metres. The 910mm eight-light wants 1.8 metres and up. Same shades, same finishes, same drop.

What globes do I need?

Five E27 to 25W each, none supplied. The glass hides them, so brightness and warmth are the only decisions no decorative filaments and no need for the five to match visually. Use warm 2700K, especially in antique gold where cool white reads green.

Can I dim it?

With the right globes our record says No and the datasheet says globe dependent, which is right. Over a dining table it is worth having; ask us for a matched set of five, because five LEDs on one dimmer is where mismatched brands flicker.

Is the suspension long enough?

1,500mm, where most pendants here drop 2,000. Ample on a standard ceiling; on a raked or high one it may not be.

Antique gold or black?

Antique gold is warm and tonal, so metal and glass sit close together and the fitting reads as one soft object. Black is high contrast: the frame becomes a graphic outline and the five white shades read as bright points within it.
