The Magnus PE35 is a 200mm polished chrome pendant oneE27 globe to 25W, not supplied, with a 335mm drop.

The name says 35cm and the fitting is 200mmwide. The 35 refers to its 335mm height, not itsdiameter.

So if you are picturing a 350mm pendant from the name, this isa little over half that across a tall, narrow fitting ratherthan a broad one. Measure 200mm on your bench before you order; it is adifferent object from what the title suggests, and the word Large in the title makes iteasy to get wrong.

Tall and narrow and that is what it is good at

200mm wide, 335mm deep. That proportion is not a compromise; it suitsparticular jobs:

• Over a kitchen bench in a row narrow pendants spaced along a bench read asrhythm, and keep sightlines clear across the room. A row of broadpendants reads as a lid.
• Above a bedside table, one each side it frees the table surface entirely,which a lamp does not.
• In an entry or a hallway end, singly, where a wide fitting would crowd.
• Over a narrow table or a breakfast bar.

Polished chrome, and one thing to know about it.Chrome is a mirror: it reflects the room, the ceiling and every other light in it. Ona pendant that is a real effect the fitting picks up the colours around it andnever reads as a flat shape.

The trade is that polished chrome shows fingerprints and dust, and over akitchen bench it will also show cooking film over time. It wipesclean easily; it just needs wiping. If you would rather not, ask us about amatt or sand-finished pendant.

The globe and a question we have asked

One E27 to 25W, not supplied. E27 is the standard screw base.

No source tells us whether the globe is visible. Thedescription says the chrome finish catches the light but never says whether theshade is open at the bottom, enclosed, or fitted with a diffuser and that decides what globe to buy:

• If the globe shows, you want a decorative LED filament, and itwill need hanging above eye level.
• If it is hidden, any warm globe will do and it can hang low.

Ask us and we will tell you which it is before you buy a globe. Either way, usewarm 2700K: against polished chrome, cool white reads hard andclinical, and warm light is what stops a chrome fitting looking like a fixture.

Dimming depends on the globe. The datasheet saysglobe dependent, and our record carried nothing at all thepage had no dimming row. There is nothing in a fitting holding one E27 to prevent it.If you are hanging a row over a bench, buy the globes together and letus match them to your dimmer.

The warranty is recorded two ways. Thedatasheet says three years; our record and the page say one. We havepublished the shorter term we would rather under-promise than sell a warrantythat turns out not to exist and asked Telbix.Ask us before you buy and we will have the answer.

1kg, so no special fixing provision.ClassI earth required, andIP20 indoor and dry locations only, which our page did not state at all. Thematerial is recorded only as Metal, which on a polished chrome fittingtells you nothing about what is under the plating ask us if it matters.

Where it works

• Kitchen benches, in rows narrow, so sightlines stay clear.
• Above bedside tables, one each side.
• Entries, hallway ends and narrow tables.
• It is 200mm wide, not 350 measure before you order.
• Ask us whether the globe shows before you buy one.

Questions

Is it 35 centimetres wide?

No it is 200mm wide, and the 35 in the name refers to its 335mm height. If you are picturing a 350mm pendant, this is a little over half that across: a tall, narrow fitting rather than a broad one. Measure 200mm on your bench before you order the word Large in the title makes it easy to get wrong.

What is it good for, at that proportion?

Narrow pendants in a row over a kitchen bench, where they read as rhythm and keep sightlines clear across the room a row of broad pendants reads as a lid. Also above bedside tables, one each side, where it frees the surface; or singly in an entry or hallway end where a wide fitting would crowd.

Will I see the globe?

No source tells us. The description says the chrome catches the light but never says whether the shade is open at the bottom, enclosed, or fitted with a diffuser and that decides what globe to buy. Ask us and we will tell you before you buy one.

What globe should I fit?

Warm 2700K, whichever way the shade turns out. Against polished chrome, cool white reads hard and clinical, and warm light is what stops a chrome fitting looking like a fixture. If the globe shows, you will want a decorative LED filament and it should hang above eye level.

Is polished chrome hard to keep?

It shows fingerprints and dust, and over a kitchen bench it will show cooking film in time. It wipes clean easily; it just needs wiping. If you would rather not, ask us about a matt or sand-finished pendant.

What is the warranty?

Our record and page say one year; the datasheet says three. We have published the shorter term we would rather under-promise than sell a warranty that turns out not to exist and asked Telbix. Ask us before you buy.

Can I dim it?

With the right globe. The datasheet says globe dependent; our record carried nothing at all and the page had no dimming row. If you are hanging a row over a bench, buy the globes together and let us match them to your dimmer.
