The Radam PE4 is a four-light cluster pendant in vintage brass or black, with150mm glass shades on an iron frame fourE14 globes to 25W each, not supplied, 240mm high on a1,500mm suspension.

No source records how wide it is. The datasheet has aheight and a suspension, our record a height, and the page gives the shade width(150mm) but nothing across the fitting. On a pendant bought for a dining table, that decideswhether it suits the table. Ask us and we will measure one along with theweight, which is also unrecorded.

Low and wide and that is why it works over a table

At 240mm high the Radam PE4 is a shallow fitting, where theeight-light is 440mm. That proportion matters more than it sounds:

• A shallow pendant stays above the sightline between people sitting opposite eachother. A tall one hangs into it.
• Four shades spread across a cluster light the table evenly rather than poolingunder one point which is what a cluster is for, and why it beats a single large pendant over arectangular table.
• It suits an ordinary ceiling, where the eight-light needs height.

Vintage brass or black

• Vintage brass warm, aged and slightly darkened rather than bright. It sitswith timber, leather and warm paint, and it is the finish the frame is really drawnfor: the metal catches light along its curves in a way flat colour does not. Use warm 2700K globes against vintage brass, cool white reads greenand flattens the finish to a dull yellow-grey, and the warmth of the metal is most of what you arepaying for.
• Black graphic and contemporary; it reads as asilhouette against a pale ceiling, so the glass shades carry thefitting rather than the frame.

Four globes, 100 watts of capacity

Four E14 to 25W each 100W total, not supplied.E14 is the small screw base, SES. With LED candles at 4 to 6Wthe real draw is about 20W.

The glass shades hide the globes, sobrightness and warmth are the only decisions and the fourneed not match visually.

It dims, with the right globes. Our record says No;the datasheet and our page both say globe dependent, and they are right. Over a diningtable that is worth having and with only four globes, amatched dimmable set is easy and cheap. Ask us.

Part of a four-piece range

Radam is made as a single wall light, a twin wall light, this four-light pendant and aneight, all sharing the same glass shades and iron frame and inboth finishes, so a room and its hallway can carry one decision.

The twin wall light is horizontal (370mm wide by 170 high), which suits amantel or a bedhead; the eight-light pendant is tiered and needs realceiling height.

ClassI earth required, canopy120mm, and IP20 indoor and dry locations only. Iniron and glass.

Where it works

• Dining tables shallow, so it stays out of sightlines.
• Bedrooms and living areas, on an ordinary ceiling.
• Alongside Radam wall lights, in the same finish.
• Ask us for the width and weight before you order.
• Warm globes against vintage brass cool white flattens it.

Questions

How wide is it?

No source records it the page gives the 150mm shade width and nothing across the fitting. On a pendant bought for a dining table that decides whether it suits the table, so ask us and we will measure one, along with the weight, which is also unrecorded.

Why choose the four over the eight?

Height. At 240mm the four-light is shallow, where the eight is 440 and a shallow pendant stays above the sightline between people sitting opposite each other, where a tall one hangs into it. The four also suits an ordinary ceiling; the eight needs height.

What globes do I need?

Four E14 the small screw base, SES to 25W each, 100W total, none supplied. The glass shades hide them, so brightness and warmth are the only decisions and they need not match visually. Use warm 2700K.

Why warm globes with the brass?

Against vintage brass, cool white reads green and flattens the finish to a dull yellow-grey and the warmth of the metal is most of what you are paying for.

Can I dim it?

With the right globes. Our record says No; the datasheet and page both say globe dependent, and they are right. Over a dining table it is worth having, and with only four globes a matched dimmable set is easy and cheap.

Vintage brass or black?

Vintage brass is warm and aged, sitting with timber, leather and warm paint, and it catches light along the frames curves in a way flat colour does not. Black reads as a silhouette against a pale ceiling, so the glass shades carry the fitting rather than the frame.

Does it match anything else?

Yes Radam is a single wall light, a twin, this four-light pendant and an eight, all sharing the glass shades and iron frame, and in both finishes. The twin wall light is horizontal at 370 by 170mm, which suits a mantel or a bedhead.
