The Halifax PE35 is a 350mm pendant in bronze with amber glass 15W giving 370lm, withswitchable 3000K / 4000K / 5000K andTRIAC dimming, on a 2,000mm suspension.

This is a dim pendant, and you should know that before youbuy. 370lm from 15W is abouta quarter of what an LED normally delivers per watt. It is not a fault and not atypo the amber glass absorbs the difference, and the 500mm Halifaxruns at exactly the same efficiency, which confirms it. Buy the Halifax for the amberglow, not to light a room, and plan other light in the space.

Amber glass is the whole product

Tinted amber glass does two things: it warms every colour temperature that passesthrough it, and it absorbs a large share of the output. Those are the same fact seentwice. What you get is a deep golden light and a lit object you can look at which is why it belongs over a bar, a hallway console or beside a stair, and not over a kitchenbench.

Three colour temperatures through amber

3000K, 4000K and 5000K, switchable. Through amber glass thedifference is subtler than usual: 3000K goes deep gold, 5000K comes backtowards honey rather than white. Useful, but do not expect a cool pendant at any setting.

TRIAC dimming, which is the good news

It does dim, from an ordinary leading-edge wall dimmer noremote and no app. On a fitting bought for atmosphere that is exactly right, and it makes the lowoutput far less of a limitation: a dimmed amber pendant is the point.

It is ClassI earth required. Hard-wired to a150mm canopy on a 2,000mm adjustable suspension. Alicensed electrician installs it.

The smaller of two

350mm wide by 112mm high. The larger Halifax is500mm at 810lm. Use the 350 in a run of two orthree over a bench or a bar, and the 500 alone over a table.

Where it works

• Over a bar or a hallway console, as a golden glow.
• Beside a stair, as a lit object.
• In a run of two or three over a long bench.
• Not a kitchen or task light 370lm.
• Not a rooms only light.

Questions

Only 370 lumens from 15 watts is that right?

Yes, and it is worth explaining. That is about a quarter of what an LED normally gives per watt, because the amber glass absorbs the difference. The 500mm Halifax runs at exactly the same efficiency, which confirms it is the glass and not a fault.

Is it bright enough for a kitchen bench?

No. Buy the Halifax for the amber glow, not to light a room over a bar, a hallway console or beside a stair. Plan other light in the space.

Can I dim it?

Yes TRIAC, from an ordinary leading-edge wall dimmer. No remote and no app. On a fitting bought for atmosphere that is exactly right.

Do the colour settings do much through amber glass?

Less than usual. 3000K goes deep gold and 5000K comes back towards honey rather than white. Useful, but do not expect a cool pendant at any setting.

Should I get the 350 or the 500?

Use the 350 in a run of two or three over a bench or a bar, and the 500mm at 810lm alone over a table.

Do I need an electrician?

Yes. It is Class I, earth required, and hard-wired to a 150mm ceiling canopy.

How far does it hang?

2,000mm of suspension, adjustable at install.
