The Pedral PE23 is a 230mm traditional coach-style outdoor pendant in blackor bronze with textured glass one E27 globe to 25W,not supplied, IP44, on a 1,750mm suspension.

You can hang it on chain, on rod, or on both and the sentencesaying so was cut off mid-word. Our page ended atchain, rod, or bothideal for enhancing classic outdoor settin.

Outdoors, that choice is a wind decision, and it is worth making deliberately:

• Chain gives the traditional look and lets the lantern move. In asheltered porch that is charming. In an exposed or windy position it swings, whichlooks restless, wears the flex over years, and can knock against a wall or post.
• Rod holds the lantern rigid and still. It is the right answerfor anywhere that catches wind, for a lower ceiling where a swinging fitting is athead height, and anywhere you want the lantern to stay square to the building.
• Both together lets you make up an exact drop rod for therigid upper section, chain below for the traditional look, or simply to reach a height neither giveson its own.

Tell us the position and the height and we will specify the combination.

An outdoor pendant an unusual thing to be able to buy

Most exterior lighting is wall-mounted or ground-mounted, because most outdoorareas have no ceiling. The Pedral pendant is for the ones that do:

• A covered porch or entry, hung centrally over the door.
• A verandah, in a run down its length.
• An alfresco or outdoor-room ceiling, over a table.
• A carport or a covered walkway.
• A gazebo or pergola with a solid roof.

And because Pedral is made as both a pendant and a wall light, an entry can carrythe pendant over the door and lanterns either side in the same language whichvery few exterior ranges allow.

No weight is recorded for either Pedral pendant,though the matching wall lights record 2.5 and 3.5kg. A hanging fitting on a1,750mm drop needs that figure more than a wall light does and an outdoor one that maymove in wind needs it most of all. Ask us before the fixing is chosen.

Same globe as every other Pedral

One E27 to 25W, not supplied identical to the 180mm pendant andboth wall lights. The larger pendant is not the brighter one.

The textured glass means the globe still shows, softened anddistorted rather than hidden. So:

• A decorative LED filament globe or ST64 reads as awarm glowing core, which is what the lantern is designed around.
• Rated for ENCLOSED fittings it is sealed, and heat with nowhere to go iswhat kills LED globes.
• Warm 2700K, or it looks like a security light.
• Hanging several down a verandah? Buy the globes together mismatchedlanterns in a run are obvious from the garden.

And it dims, with the right globe our record saysNo, the datasheet and page say globe dependent, and they are right. Overan outdoor table that is worth having.

IP44 covered positions only, which for a pendant isalmost self-selecting: it needs a ceiling to hang from. Our page has it right atOutdoor (Covered Area). Splashing water, not driving rain orjets so an open-sided verandah that takes rain sideways isnot the place for it.

• Choose chain or rod deliberately rod anywhere that catches wind.

Questions

Chain or rod?

Outdoors that is a wind decision. Chain gives the traditional look and lets the lantern move charming in a sheltered porch, restless in an exposed position, where it swings, wears the flex over years and can knock against a wall. Rod holds it rigid and still, which is right anywhere that catches wind or where a swinging fitting would be at head height. Both together lets you make up an exact drop. Our page was cut off mid-word saying the option exists.

Where can an outdoor pendant actually go?

Anywhere with a covered ceiling a porch or entry hung over the door, a verandah in a run, an alfresco ceiling over a table, a carport, a covered walkway, or a gazebo with a solid roof. Most exterior lighting is wall or ground mounted because most outdoor areas have no ceiling; this is for the ones that do.

How heavy is it?

Not recorded, on either Pedral pendant though the matching wall lights record 2.5 and 3.5kg. A hanging fitting on a 1,750mm drop needs that figure more than a wall light does, and an outdoor one that may move in wind needs it most. Ask us before the fixing is chosen.

Is it brighter than the 180mm pendant?

No every Pedral takes the same single E27 to 25W. Choose on proportion.

What globe should I buy?

A decorative LED filament globe or ST64 rated for enclosed fittings, in warm 2700K. The textured glass softens the source rather than hiding it, so the globe still shows. If you are hanging several down a verandah, buy them together: mismatched lanterns in a run are obvious from the garden.

Can I dim it?

Yes, with a dimmable globe our record says No, but the datasheet and page both say globe dependent and they are right. Over an outdoor table it is worth having.

Can it hang on an open verandah?

Only if the position is genuinely sheltered. IP44 is splashing water, not driving rain an open-sided verandah that takes rain sideways is not the place for it.
