The Pelion 5Lt is a 560mm five-light pendant withribbed glass shades on an iron frame in antique gold or chrome.

Ribbed glass, which is not the same as frosted

Vertical ribs break the light into fine lines as it leaves each shade. Lit, theglass develops a striped, prismatic quality that flat frosted glass never has and the ribs catch the metal finish along their edges, so the same shade readswarm on antique gold and cool on chrome. The finish choice changes the glass, not justthe frame.

Wide and shallow

560mm across but only 200mm deep. Five shades spread across morethan half a metre with almost no drop so it covers a round dining table or an island in a roomwith an ordinary ceiling, where a deeper five-light would be in the way.

The suspension is 1,500mm

Shorter than the 2,000mm most of this range carries. Over a standard 2.4-metre ceiling that isample; check it against a raked or double-height space and tell us if you need more.

It is heavy 5.6kg

Substantial for its size, which is the ribbed glass. Mention it to your electricianbefore installation day: this wants a proper fixing, not a plasterboard anchor.

Five E27 globes 25W each, 125W total

Not supplied. Our record says E14; the datasheet and the old page both sayE27, and that is what we publish but confirm with us before buying fiveglobes. Because the glass is ribbed rather than opaque, the globe is partly visible, so awarm filament globe is worth fitting. Buy all five from one batch.

One, four and five-light versions

Pelion runs in three sizes, both finishes. Singles down a hallway and the five overthe table read as one scheme.

Where it works

• Round dining tables and kitchen islands.
• Entry halls with ordinary ceilings.
• Rooms where a deep pendant would be in the way.
