The Kestra PE30 is a 320mm textured iron cone pendant in black oneE27 globe to 25W, not supplied, on a 2,000mm suspension.

The texture is the design

The cone shape is common; the surface is not. Kestras iron isfinely textured rather than smooth, so it takes light as a soft grain instead of aflat panel or a hard reflection. On a black pendant that matters smooth black goesglossy and shows every fingerprint, textured black stays matte and reads as a solidform.

320mm the size you hang in threes

At 320mm wide by 220mm high, this is theisland-run proportion. Three of these over a two-metre bench is a standard andsuccessful arrangement; one of them alone over a dining table would look undersized. If you want asingle pendant, the 430mm PE40 is the one.

It is ClassI earth required. A hard-wiredceiling fitting on a 120mm canopy with a 2,000mmsuspension. A licensed electrician installs it that requirement isreal here, unlike on the plug-in lamps in this range.

A cone puts light down

220mm deep over a 320mm mouth is a genuinely conical shade, whichdirects light downward and shields the globe from side view. Over a bench that isexactly right; as a room light it is not almost nothing goes to the ceiling.

Dimming depends on the globe

Fit a dimmable E27 and pair it with a wall dimmer and it dims; fit a plain globe and it willnot. Our record carries no value at all against dimmable, which is why we are saying itplainly: the answer is globe dependent.

Where it works

• Kitchen islands and benches, in a run of two or three.
• Over a breakfast bar or a reading nook.
• Hallways, where the downward throw suits a low ceiling.
• Not as a rooms only light a cone sends almost nothing upward.

Questions

How wide is it?

320mm wide by 220mm high the island-run proportion. Three over a two-metre bench works; one alone over a dining table looks undersized.

Is there a bigger one?

Yes the Kestra PE40 at 430mm wide and 300mm high. That is the one to use as a single pendant, and it comes in white as well as black.

What does the texture do?

It keeps the black matte. Smooth black goes glossy and shows every fingerprint; Kestras finely textured iron takes light as a soft grain and reads as a solid form instead.

Do I need an electrician?

Yes. It is Class I earth required and hard-wired to a 120mm ceiling canopy. That requirement is real here, unlike on the plug-in lamps in this range.

Can I dim it?

It depends on the globe. A dimmable E27 with a wall dimmer will dim; a plain globe will not. Our record carries no value at all against dimmable, so the honest answer is globe dependent.

How long is the drop?

2,000mm of suspension, adjustable at install. Over a bench, most people finish around 700 to 800mm above the surface.

Is a globe included?

No. One E27 to 25W, your choice.
