The Lerida PE12V is a twelve-light vertical crystal pendant in gold or chrome twelve G9 globes to 6W each, not supplied,600mm high and 5.05kg, on a2,000mm suspension.

A word about what this page could not tell you, and what wehave done about it.

The Lerida range is made in two shapes a sphere and an elongatedrectangle. This product is named vertical, which points at theelongated one, but the page never said which it is, andno width is recorded in any source to settle it only the600mm height.

Its description was also a raw field dump Fixture Color :Gold,Clear Fixture Finish : Gloss Fixture Material : Iron,Crystal Approvals : cut off mid-field.

We have asked Telbix for the shape and the width, and we will confirm both before youorder. On a fitting hanging over a table, the footprint is not an optional detail.

Iron and crystal the contrast is the idea

Twelve G9 capsules behind crystal, on an iron frame ingold or chrome. Crystal refracts rather than diffusing: instead of asoft even glow you get points of light thrown across the ceiling and walls, and theeffect changes as you move.

What makes the Lerida different from a traditional chandelier is the iron. Aclassical crystal fitting hides its structure; the Lerida’s frame is deliberatelyvisible substantial, geometric metal against fine cut glass. That contrast is whatlets it sit in a modern room as easily as a formal one.

Twelve G9 globes and on crystal, the globe choice really matters

Twelve G9 to 6W each 72W total, not supplied.G9 is a small bi-pin capsule, about the size of a thumbnail, which pushes in ratherthan screwing.

This is the one decision that determines whether the crystal doesanything at all, and no source mentioned it:

• Use CLEAR capsules. Crystal refracts a point source into sparkle.A frosted or opal G9 gives a soft glow with no point to refract, andthe crystal goes flat and grey you will have paid for cut glass you cannotsee working.
• LED, not halogen. Twelve halogen G9s inside a crystal fitting producea great deal of heat.
• Warm 2700K. Against gold, cool white reads green; and warmlight through crystal gives the amber-and-white sparkle the material is chosen for.
• All twelve together, same brand. Twelve visible sparkle points showany colour mismatch and if you dim, mixed brands is where flicker starts.

Ask us for a matched set of twelve.

It dims, with the right globes. And our record says socorrectly, reading Yes (Globe Dependent) theprecise answer, which almost nothing else in this catalogue manages.

On a crystal fitting, dimming is not a convenience it is the effect. Atfull, twelve sources light the room. Low, the room falls away andthe sparkle is the only thing you see, which is what crystal is for. Fit dimmableLEDs and use a wall dimmer.

5.05 kilograms on a 75mm canopy

That is a proper structural fixing, andour record carried no weight at all it held no wattage, no lumens, nomaterial and no dimensions either. 5.05kg is past a ceiling rose or aplasterboard anchor, and on a two-metre suspension the mount takesmovement as well as dead weight. Tell your electricianbefore the ceiling is opened.

Gold or chrome

• Gold warm, and it reads as part of the statementalongside the crystal. More formal, and it sits with brass hardware and warm timber. With warm globesthe whole fitting reads amber.
• Chrome cool and neutral; the metal recedes and thecrystal carries the fitting. Right in a contemporary room, and the more restrained ofthe two.

ClassI earth required, canopy projection75mm, and IP20 indoor and dry locations only. Iniron and crystal, gloss.

Where it works

• Over dining tables, in modern and formal rooms alike.
• Entries and stairwells, where the vertical form suits a drop.
• Rooms with something below to catch the refractions a polished table, a stone floor.
• Use CLEAR G9 capsules frosted ones make the crystal go flat.
• Ask us for the shape and width before ordering. No source records them.

Questions

What shape is it?

The name points at the elongated one the Lerida range is made as a sphere and an elongated rectangle but the page never said which this is, and no width is recorded in any source to settle it. Only the 600mm height. We have asked Telbix and will confirm the shape and width before you order: on a fitting hanging over a table, the footprint is not an optional detail.

What globes should I use?

Twelve clear G9 LED capsules in warm 2700K and this is the one decision that determines whether the crystal does anything. Crystal refracts a point source into sparkle; a frosted or opal G9 gives a soft glow with no point to refract, so the crystal goes flat and grey. Use LED rather than halogen, and buy all twelve together.

Can I dim it?

Yes, with dimmable globes and our record says so correctly, which almost nothing else in this catalogue manages. On a crystal fitting dimming is not a convenience, it is the effect: at full, twelve sources light the room; low, the room falls away and the sparkle is the only thing you see.

How heavy is it?

5.05 kilograms on a 75mm canopy a proper structural fixing, past a ceiling rose or plasterboard anchor, and on a two-metre suspension the mount takes movement as well as dead weight. Our record carried no weight at all, along with no wattage, lumens, material or dimensions.

Gold or chrome?

Gold is warm and reads as part of the statement alongside the crystal more formal, sitting with brass hardware and warm timber. Chrome is cool and neutral: the metal recedes and the crystal carries the fitting, which suits a contemporary room and is the more restrained of the two.

How is it different from a traditional chandelier?

The iron. A classical crystal fitting hides its structure; the Leridas frame is deliberately visible substantial, geometric metal against fine cut glass. That contrast is what lets it sit in a modern room as easily as a formal one.

How much power does it use?

Twelve G9s at up to 6 watts each 72 watts maximum, and with LED capsules considerably less in practice.
