The Romay PE60 is a 600mm architectural disc pendant in black with an opalface 40W giving 3,388lm, withswitchable 3000K / 4000K / 5000K, CRI above 93,TRIAC dimmable.

CRI above 93, and our copy never said so. Most pendants hererecord CRI 80, where food looks duller, timber flattens and skin goesslightly grey. Over a dining table or an island that is the specification worth comparing,and it was buried in a table.

3,388 lumens enough to be the only light

The smaller Romay is still a room light. 3,388lm willcarry a dining room, a kitchen or a living area on its own, and at85 lumens per watt while holding CRI 93 it isthe more efficient of the two sizes the 800mm gives 78. If output perwatt matters, the 600 is the better fitting.

600mm across, 100mm deep

Six to one a disc, not a bowl, reading as aplane floating below the ceiling. The opal face glows evenly with no visiblesource, so it can hang at eye level over a table or island without glare, which a3,388-lumen fitting could not otherwise do.

No weight is recorded anywhere, and a 600mmdisc from a 220mm canopy is where an electrician wants that figure.Ask us before the fixing is chosen.

Three colour temperatures, cooler than most

3000K, 4000K, 5000K, set at installation. Most switchablefittings here stop at 4000K; the Romay reaches5000K, which is genuinely useful over a working bench. There isno 2700K setting it does not go as warm as a purely decorativependant, because it is not one.

Fully TRIAC dimmable on an ordinary wall dimmer, and at3,388lm that is essential rather than optional. Many of the bright pendants inthis range cannot be dimmed; this one can, which is what makes it usable over a tableyou also eat at.

Aluminium, iron and acrylic

The acrylic is the opal face; the aluminium does the heat work,which at 40W determines how long the LEDs last. ClassI earthrequired, IP20 indoor and dry locations only.

The smaller of two

The Romay also comes at 800mm, 58W,4,520lm. Same depth, same canopy, same everything except scale sochoose on the room and the table. The 600 suits tables up to about1.6metres and rooms where an 800mm disc would dominate.

Where it works

• Dining tables to about 1.6 metres, and kitchen islands.
• Living areas, as the only ceiling light.
• Working kitchens the 5000K setting and CRI 93.
• Ask us for the weight before the fixing is chosen.
• It does not go to 2700K not the warmest choice.

Questions

Is it bright enough to be the only light?

Yes 3,388lm will carry a dining room, kitchen or living area on its own. The smaller Romay is still a room light.

Which size is more efficient?

This one 85lm/W against the 800mms 78, both while holding CRI 93. If output per watt matters, the 600 is the better fitting.

What is CRI 93 worth here?

A lot, and our copy never mentioned it. Most pendants here record CRI 80, where food looks duller, timber flattens and skin goes slightly grey. Over a dining table it is the specification worth comparing.

Will it glare over a table?

No. The opal face glows evenly with no visible source, which is what lets a 3,388-lumen fitting hang at eye level without discomfort.

Can I dim it?

Yes fully TRIAC dimmable on an ordinary wall dimmer, and at this output that is essential. Many bright pendants in this range cannot be dimmed; this one can, which makes it usable over a table you also eat at.

600mm or 800mm?

Choose on the room and the table same depth, same canopy, same specification otherwise. The 600 suits tables up to about 1.6 metres and rooms where an 800mm disc would dominate.

How heavy is it?

Not recorded anywhere, and a 600mm disc from a 220mm canopy is where an electrician wants that figure. Ask us before the fixing is chosen.
