The Hovin PE58 is a 580mm minimalist LED pendant in black or white sand integrated 37W giving 3,750lm at 3000K,TRIAC dimmable, on a 2,000mm suspension.

It is not a 58-light pendant. Our page said so, andit has one integrated LED. The 58 is itsdiameter in centimetres 580mm across. The same error appears on the43cm version, which our page called a 43-light pendant.

And a correction to the figures. The datasheetattached to this product is the 43cm version’s it records22W and 1,760lm, which are the smaller fitting’s numbers.

The data block on this product’s own page gives 37W and3,750lm, and those are the figures for the 580mm fitting. We havepublished the larger set, because a 580mm pendant producing the same light as a430mm one would be an odd product, and the two sources disagree in exactly the way amis-attached sheet would predict.

Ask us to confirm before you specify it into a lighting plan.

3,750 lumens and this one genuinely lights a room

That is a large output for a decorative pendant. For scale, the 700mm Astanaceiling light gives 3,850lm and the 500mm Thalia oyster2,790. So the Hovin PE58, hanging over a table, producesabout as much light as a large ceiling fitting.

It will light a dining room or a kitchen island on its own which mostdecorative pendants in this catalogue will not and at 101lm/W it isthe most efficient decorative fitting measured in this programme.

That efficiency comes from the form. The Hovin is aflat disc, 60mm deep, with the LED behind asimple acrylic face no shade to absorb, no glass to tint, no decorativediffusion. You are paying for light, not for the material it passes through.

TRIAC dimming and at this output it is essential

An ordinary wall dimmer, full range. At 3,750 lumens over a table,dimming is not a refinement: at full this is a working light, and it needs to comedown for a meal. A fitting this bright without a dimmer would be difficult to livewith which is a real problem on several other pendants in this catalogue and not on this one.

580mm across, 60mm deep

The proportion is the design: broad and very shallow. That matters over a tablemore than it sounds a disc stays above the sightline between people sittingopposite each other, where a deep pendant of the same width hangs into it.

The sand texture is the right call on a plain form: agloss disc catches every downlight in the room as ahard highlight on its rim, and a fine textured coat scatters that, so the fitting readsas shape and colour rather than reflection.

Black or white. White disappears against awhite ceiling when it is off, so the fitting is only present when it is doingsomething. Black reads as a deliberate dark disc and holdsits own against a dark or timber ceiling the more graphic choice.

Nothing to buy, and nothing to change

The LED is integrated and included, fixed at 3000K warmwhite nothing to source, nothing to match, nothing to replace, and equally nothing tochange. On a fitting this efficient that is a reasonable trade.

No weight and no material are recorded in our productrecord, which carries only a warranty, a voltage and an IP rating. The datasheet givesiron and acrylic. On a 580mm disc on a two-metre suspension the weight is whatyour electrician needs ask us before the ceiling is opened.

ClassI earth required, hard-wired withno lead and plug, canopy projection 40mm, andIP20 indoor and dry locations only. RCM approved.

Where it works

• Dining tables and kitchen islands bright enough on its own, and it dims.
• Open-plan rooms, where one fitting has to carry the space.
• Low ceilings 60mm deep, so it stays out of the way.
• It is 580mm across, not 58 lights. Check the clearances.
• Ask us to confirm the wattage and output before it goes into a lighting plan.

Questions

Does it really have 58 lights?

No it has one integrated LED. The 58 is its diameter in centimetres: 580mm across. Our page called it a 58-light pendant, and the same error appears on the 43cm version.

What are its real wattage and output?

37 watts and 3,750 lumens, from the data block on its own page. The datasheet attached to this product is the 43cm versions and records 22W and 1,760lm the smaller fittings numbers. We have published the larger set, because a 580mm pendant producing the same light as a 430mm one would be an odd product. Ask us to confirm before it goes into a lighting plan.

Is it bright enough to light a room?

Yes, and unusually so for a decorative pendant. The 700mm Astana ceiling light gives 3,850 lumens and the 500mm Thalia oyster 2,790 so this pendant produces about as much light as a large ceiling fitting, and will carry a dining room or kitchen island on its own.

Why is it so efficient?

The form. It is a flat disc 60mm deep with the LED behind a simple acrylic face no shade to absorb, no glass to tint, no decorative diffusion. At 101lm/W it is the most efficient decorative fitting measured in this programme: you are paying for light, not for the material it passes through.

Do I need a dimmer?

You want one. At 3,750 lumens over a table, dimming is not a refinement at full this is a working light and it needs to come down for a meal. It takes an ordinary TRIAC wall dimmer across the full range.

Will it hang into the sightline over a table?

No at only 60mm deep it is a disc, so it stays above the line between people sitting opposite each other, where a deep pendant of the same width would hang into it.

Black or white?

White disappears against a white ceiling when it is off, so the fitting is only present when it is doing something. Black reads as a deliberate dark disc and holds its own against a dark or timber ceiling the more graphic choice.
