The Jonsel PE50 is a 500mm pendant with a stretched fabric shade in black orwhite one E27 globe to 25W, not supplied, on a2,000mm suspension.

The elastic shade and at 500mm it does the most work

Soft fabric stretched over a frame, not a stiff drum. Thin and under tension, soit is translucent: the shade glows across its whole surface ratherthan only throwing light out of the top and bottom.

At 500mm that becomes the whole point. This is alarge glowing form half a metre of softly lit surface and thestretch gives it a seamless curve with no visible ribs or frame, which at this scaleis what separates it from a traditional drum shade. A rigid shade this size shows its structure; thisone does not.

The largest of three, and the one for a dining table

500mm wide, shade 325mm high. Jonsel comes inthree sizes, and this is the one with the presence to hangsingly over a dining table or in a double-height entry, where the200mm works in runs and the 300mm suits a small table.

It is still only 1.35 kilograms. A 500mm pendant thatweighs less than a bag of sugar goes onto any standard fixing and on a100mm canopy, which for a fitting this size is remarkably discreet. Most500mm pendants in this catalogue need a proper structural fixing; this one does not.

Black or white and at this size the difference is large

On a translucent shade the colour changes what the fitting does:

• White half a metre of glowing surface pushing light intothe room from every part of it. Soft, ambient, and it fills a space. It also makes thependant read as a large luminous object, which over a table is a strong presence.
• Black very little passes through the fabric, so nearly all the outputgoes down onto the table. A focused pool with a dark form above it much more dramatic, and the room around it stays darker.

At 200mm that choice is a nuance. At 500mm it is two completely differentrooms.

No overall height is recorded in any source only the shade height of 325mm. On a 500mm pendant over a table, thefitting height is what you plan the hanging position from. Ask us if the clearancematters.

Dimming depends on the globe our record saysNo, the datasheet says globe dependent, and the datasheet is right.On a white one especially, dimming turns a large bright form into asoft lantern. Ask us and we will match a dimmable globe to yourdimmer.

Where it works

• Over dining tables, singly the size with presence.
• Entries and stairwells, where a large soft form suits.
• Living rooms, in white, as an ambient centrepiece.
• White glows and fills the room; black throws its light down. Choose on effect.
• Ask us for the overall height if the clearance is tight.

Questions

Which Jonsel size should I choose?

This 500mm is the one with the presence to hang singly over a dining table or in a double-height entry. The 200mm works in runs and the 300mm suits a small table.

Black or white?

At this size it is two completely different rooms. White is half a metre of glowing surface pushing light out from every part of it soft, ambient, and a large luminous object over a table. Black passes very little through, so nearly all the output goes down onto the table: a focused pool with a dark form above it, and a darker room around it.

How heavy is it?

Only 1.35kg a 500mm pendant that weighs less than a bag of sugar, on a 100mm canopy. Most 500mm pendants in this catalogue need a proper structural fixing; this one goes onto any standard one.

What is an elastic fabric shade?

Soft fabric stretched over a frame rather than a stiff drum. It is translucent so the shade glows all over, and the stretch gives a seamless curve with no visible ribs which at 500mm is what separates it from a traditional drum shade.

How tall is the whole fitting?

No source records it only the 325mm shade height. On a 500mm pendant over a table, the fitting height is what you plan the hanging position from, so ask us if the clearance matters.

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 white one especially, dimming turns a large bright form into a soft lantern.

Will it glare over a table?

No the fabric diffuses evenly in every direction and the globe is not visible.
