The Grado is a 180mm slimline pendant in black, coffee or whitesand integrated 6W LED giving 360lm at 3000K, on ayoyo suspension adjustable from 700mm to 1,700mm.

The drop adjusts by hand, any time and our page published asingle number. The specification table said Suspension Length 1700 mm.The real figure is a range: 700mm to 1,700mm, on ayoyo mechanism you pull it down or push it up and it holds.

Why that matters: on almost every other pendant in this catalogue the drop isset by the electrician at install and stays there changing it later meansgetting someone back. The Grado can be re-set in ten seconds, by you, with no tools.Over an island you can drop it low for dinner and lift it out of the way afterwards; if you move it toanother room with a different ceiling, it just works.

360 lumens an accent, and it hangs in numbers

6W at 60lm/W. A single Grado willlight a bedside, a corner or a section of bench; it will not light a room. It isbuilt for runs of three or five over an island, and the adjustable drop isespecially good there you can set them all to exactly the same height, ordeliberately stagger them, and change your mind afterwards.

Slimline 180mm wide, 374mm tall

Twice as tall as it is wide, on a 75mm canopy at1.2kg. That small canopy is part of the point: the ceiling end nearlydisappears, so what you see is the vertical form and the drop. At 1.2kg itgoes onto any standard fixing, and a run of five is only 6kg across a ceiling.

Three sand finishes, and the coffee is the interesting one

Black sand, white sand and coffee sand. Coffeeis a warm mid-brown and is unusual in this catalogue it sits withtimber, leather and brass in a way black does not, and it reads much softer thanblack against a pale ceiling. All three are sand-textured rather than gloss, so theydo not catch reflections from the rest of the room.

The LED is integrated and included at a fixed3000K, and it is not dimmable. Nothing to buy and nothing toreplace and equally nothing to change. In a run of five that meanson or off, so plan the switching. It isClassI earth required andIP20 indoor and dry locations only.

Questions

How long is the suspension?

It adjusts 700mm to 1,700mm, on a yoyo mechanism you pull down or push up by hand. Our page published only the 1,700mm maximum, which missed the point of the fitting.

Can I change the drop after it is installed?

Yes, in about ten seconds, with no tools and no electrician. On almost every other pendant here the drop is set at install and changing it means getting someone back.

Is 360 lumens enough?

For a bedside, a corner or a section of bench, yes. It will not light a room it is built for runs of three or five over an island.

Is the adjustable drop useful in a run?

Very. You can set several to exactly the same height, or deliberately stagger them, and change your mind afterwards which on a fixed-drop pendant is a job for an electrician.

Which finish should I choose?

Coffee is the interesting one a warm mid-brown, unusual in this catalogue, that sits with timber, leather and brass in a way black does not and reads much softer against a pale ceiling. All three are sand-textured rather than gloss.

Can I dim it?

No, and the colour is fixed at 3000K. In a run of five that means on or off, so plan the switching.

What fixing does it need?

Any standard one 1.2kg, and a run of five is only 6kg across a ceiling. The canopy is 75mm, small enough that the ceiling end nearly disappears.
