The Jonsel PE30 is a 300mm pendant with a stretched fabric shade in black orwhite one E27 globe to 25W, not supplied, on a2,000mm suspension.

An elastic fabric shade and why that is not the same as a fabric drum

The Jonsel’s shade is soft, elastic fabric stretched over a frame, not a stiffdrum. Three things follow from that, and none of them were explained:

• The fabric is thin and under tension, so it istranslucent the shade glows across its whole surface ratherthan only throwing light out of the top and bottom, which is what a rigid opaque drum does.
• The stretch gives a smooth, seamless curve with no visible frame or ribs the reason it reads as minimal rather than traditional.
• It is very light: 0.9kg for a 300mm pendant.

The result is a soft, even, diffused light in every direction, withno glare and no visible globe genuinely comfortable to sit under.

The middle of three sizes

300mm wide, shade 275mm high. Jonsel comes inthree sizes, and this is the one that workssingly over a small table, in an entry or beside a stair, where the200mm is better in a run and the largest suits a dining table.

No overall height is recorded in any source only the shade height of 275mm. On a pendant, thefitting height is what you plan a hanging position from.Ask us and we will measure it if the clearance is tight.

Very light which makes runs easy

At 0.9kg the Jonsel goes onto any standard fixing, andthree of them is only 2.7kg across a ceiling. For a run over an island, that isabout as easy as a pendant install gets and the 100mm canopy keeps eachceiling point small and discreet.

Black or white and they behave differently when lit

On a translucent shade the colour changes the light itself, not just the look:

• White the shade glows brightly and putslight into the room from its whole surface. The brighter, softer choice.
• Black far less light passes through the fabric, so the output goesmostly down. A more contained, more dramatic pool, and the fittingstays a dark shape in the room.

So this is not only a colour decision. White for ambient, black for focus.

Dimming depends on the globe. Our record saysNo; the datasheet says globe dependent, and thedatasheet is right. Fit a dimmable E27 LED with a wall dimmer. On a translucent shadedimming is especially good low, the whole shade becomes a soft lantern.Ask us and we will match a set to your dimmer.

It is ClassI earth required andIP20 indoor and dry locations only. A licensed electrician installs it.

Where it works

• Over small tables, in entries and beside stairs singly.
• Bedrooms and living rooms, where soft even light suits.
• Runs over an island three is only 2.7kg.
• White glows; black throws its light down. Choose on effect, not colour.
• Ask us for the overall height if the clearance is tight.

Questions

What is an elastic fabric shade?

Soft fabric stretched over a frame rather than a stiff drum. It is thin and under tension, so it is translucent the shade glows across its whole surface instead of only throwing light out of the top and bottom and the stretch gives a smooth seamless curve with no visible ribs.

Black or white?

It changes the light, not just the look. White glows brightly and puts light into the room from its whole surface the softer, brighter choice. Black passes far less light through the fabric, so the output goes mostly down: a more contained, more dramatic pool, with the fitting staying a dark shape.

Is it comfortable to sit under?

Yes the diffusion is even in every direction, with no glare and no visible globe.

Which size should I choose?

This 300mm works singly over a small table, in an entry or beside a stair. The 200mm is better in a run, and the largest suits a dining table.

How tall is the whole fitting?

No source records it only the 275mm shade height. On a pendant the fitting height is what you plan a hanging position from, so ask us and we will measure it if the clearance is tight.

Is it easy to hang several?

Very 0.9kg each, so three is only 2.7kg across a ceiling, on any standard fixing. The 100mm canopy keeps each ceiling point small.

Can I dim it?

With a dimmable E27 and a wall dimmer. Our record says No; the datasheet says globe dependent, and that is right. On a translucent shade dimming is especially good low, the whole shade becomes a soft lantern.
