The Farnix PE04 is a four-light pendant with curved arms and tapered fabric shadesin antique gold or nickel matt four E14 globes to 25W each, notsupplied, on a 1,500mm suspension.

Check the width with us before you order. Our recordsgive the four-light as 1,220mm wide and thesix-light as 1,030mm so on paperthe smaller fitting is the wider one.

That is not impossible: a four-arm layout spread along an axis is genuinely widerthan six arms gathered into a circle, and that is the likeliest explanation. But itinverts what anyone would assume, and on a fitting over a metre acrossthe width is the number that decides whether it fits your table. We have asked Telbix, and wewill confirm the figure for you before you commit.

Four tapered shades on curved arms

The Farnix’s character is in the curve. Straight arms give ageometric, contemporary fitting; the Farnix’s arms sweep, and theshades are tapered rather than cylindrical, which is a distinctlytraditional language handled lightly.

The fabric shades do the practical work: they areopaque, so each throws light down onto the table and up onto theceiling and none sideways into anyone’s eyes. On a fitting withfour sources at eye level over a dining table, that is what makes it comfortable tosit under.

Four globes, and the shades make it easy

Four E14 to 25W each 100W total, not supplied.E14 is the small screw base, SES a candle or golf-ball globe.(Our page called it ES, which is the larger E27 base. It is E14.)

Because the fabric shades hide the globes completely,brightness and warmth are the only decisions no decorative filaments needed,and the four need not match visually. Use warm 2700K: againstantique gold, cool white reads green.

Dimming depends on the globes. Our record says No;the datasheet and our own page both say globe dependent, and they are right nothing in a fitting holding four E14s prevents it. Over a dining table it is worth having, andfour LEDs on one dimmer want to be the same brand.Ask us for a matched set of four.

Over a metre wide, and 764mm deep

This is a large fitting. At 764mm from canopy to the bottomof the shades, plus 1,500mm of suspension, it needsheight as well as width and on a standard 2.4-metre ceiling the suspensionwill be shortened at installation, which is routine but worth flagging in advance.

No weight is recorded for a fitting over a metreacross in iron and fabric. On something this size that is the figure your electrician needs.Ask us before the fixing is chosen.

Antique gold or nickel matt

• Antique gold warmer and more traditional. It sits with timber, brasshardware and warm paint, and it reads as the feature of the room.
• Nickel matt understated and modern. The matt surface isthe point: on curved arms, a gloss finish would carry a hard highlight along everysweep, and matt lets the shape read instead.

The Farnix is also made as a wall light, in the same curved-arm language though note it projects 254mm, the deepest wall light in this catalogue, socheck the position before pairing them.

Where it works

• Large dining tables four sources spread wide, no glare.
• Entries and living rooms with ceiling height.
• Alongside Farnix wall lights but check that 254mm projection.
• Confirm the width with us our records make it wider than the six-light.
• No weight recorded ask us before the fixing is chosen.

Questions

How wide is it?

Our records give 1,220mm which makes the four-light wider than the six-lights 1,030mm. That is plausible, since four arms spread along an axis can be wider than six gathered into a circle, but it inverts what anyone would assume and on a fitting over a metre across the width decides whether it fits your table. We have asked Telbix and will confirm before you commit.

What globes do I need?

Four E14 the small screw base, SES to 25W each, none supplied. Our page called it ES, which is the larger E27 base; it is E14. The fabric shades hide them completely, so brightness and warmth are the only decisions and the four need not match visually. Use warm 2700K: against antique gold, cool white reads green.

Can I dim it?

With the right globes, yes. Our record says No; the datasheet and our page both say globe dependent, and they are right nothing in a fitting holding four E14s prevents it. Four LEDs on one dimmer want to be the same brand, so ask us for a matched set.

Will it glare over a dining table?

No the fabric shades are opaque, so each throws light down onto the table and up onto the ceiling and none sideways. With four sources at eye level, that is what makes it comfortable to sit under.

How much ceiling height does it need?

764mm from canopy to the bottom of the shades, plus 1,500mm of suspension. On a standard 2.4-metre ceiling the suspension will be shortened at installation routine, but worth flagging in advance.

How heavy is it?

Not recorded, on a fitting over a metre across in iron and fabric. That is the figure your electrician needs ask us before the fixing is chosen.

Antique gold or nickel matt?

Antique gold is warmer and more traditional, sits with timber and brass hardware, and reads as the feature of the room. Nickel matt is understated and modern and the matt surface is the point, because on curved arms a gloss finish would carry a hard highlight along every sweep.
