The Rotif PE16 is a 160mm pendant with a clear glass dome on an anodisedbrass frame one E27 globe to 25W, not supplied on a2,000mm suspension.

A clear dome, which means the globe is the design

Clear glass does not diffuse. The domeshapes and reflects, and what you actually see isthe globe inside it, sharpened at the edges by the curve of the glass. That isdeliberate the Rotif is built around showing a beautiful globe under a cleanbrass and glass form.

So the globe is not a detail, it is half the purchase. OneE27 to 25W, not supplied, and it will befully visible from every angle.

• A decorative LED filament a globe or ST64 shape is what thisfitting is designed around.
• A bare white LED capsule will look like an unfinished light fitting.
• Choose warm, 2700K, to sit with the brass.

Hang it above eye level

A visible source at seated eye height across a table isuncomfortable to look at, and unlike a globe-fed fitting with a diffuser you cannotsoften it by changing the shade the shade is clear. So:over a bench, in a stairwell, at the end of a hallway, or in a run well above anisland. Not low over a dining table.

160mm wide, 250mm tall, 1.575kg

Small, and that is how it should be used: a single Rotif is adetail, and two or three in a run is a composition. Over a diningtable alone it will look undersized. The canopy is 100mm with2,000mm of adjustable drop.

At 1.575kg it is heavier than it looks for a 160mmpendant glass and solid metal rather than pressed sheet which is worth mentioning toyour electrician if several are going up on one ceiling.

Anodised brass, not plated

Anodised is a finish grown into the metal rather than laid on top, so it isfar harder to scratch or wear through than plating. On a pendant that gets cleaned,knocked and lived with, that is a real durability difference, and it is why the brass reads aseven and slightly matte rather than mirror-bright which is also what stops itcompeting with the lit globe.

Dimming depends on the globe. Our record saysNo; the datasheet says globe dependent, and thedatasheet is right. With a fully visible filament globe, dimming isthe single best thing you can do for how this fitting looks a dimmed filamentunder clear glass is exactly the effect it is designed for.Ask us and we will match a dimmable pair to your dimmer.

Part of a three-piece range

Rotif comes as a floor lamp, a table lamp and this pendant, all in iron with aclear glass dome. That makes it unusually easy to carry one idea across a whole roomat three heights.

Where it works

• Stairwells and hallway ends.
• Alongside the Rotif table and floor lamps.
• The globe is fully visible buy a decorative filament.

Questions

Will I see the globe?

Completely, from every angle. Clear glass does not diffuse the dome shapes and reflects, and what you see is the globe inside it, sharpened at the edges by the curve. The Rotif is built around showing a beautiful globe.

What globe should I fit?

A decorative LED filament a globe or ST64 shape in a warm 2700K to sit with the brass. A bare white LED capsule will look like an unfinished light fitting. Tell us and we will match one.

Where should I hang it?

Above eye level. A visible source at seated eye height across a table is uncomfortable, and you cannot soften it by changing the shade because the shade is clear. Over a bench, in a stairwell, at the end of a hallway, or in a run well above an island.

Can I dim it?

With the right globe, yes our record says No and the datasheet says globe dependent, which is right. With a fully visible filament, dimming is the single best thing you can do for how this fitting looks: a dimmed filament under clear glass is exactly the effect it is designed for.

One or several?

Several. At 160mm a single Rotif is a detail; two or three in a run is a composition. Over a dining table alone it will look undersized.

What is anodised brass?

A finish grown into the metal rather than laid on top, so it is far harder to scratch or wear through than plating. It also reads as even and slightly matte rather than mirror-bright, which stops it competing with the lit globe.

Does it match anything else?

Yes Rotif comes as a floor lamp, a table lamp and this pendant, all in iron with a clear glass dome, so one idea carries across a room at three heights.
