The Samona PE06 is a six-light pendant in antique gold withtextured glass shades six E14 globes to 25W each, notsupplied, 550mm wide by 310mm high, on a2,000mm suspension.

This is the widest Samona pendant, and the one for a longtable. At 550mm across and only 310mm high, it isbroad and low six shades spread along a single level.

That proportion is what suits a rectangular dining table. Six sources spread overmore than half a metre light the length of a table evenly rather than pooling in themiddle, and the low profile keeps it out of the sightline between people sittingopposite each other which a taller fitting does not.

Note that the eight-light is narrower (420mm) and160mm taller. The three and six share the same 310mm height, which iswhat a single tier looks like; the eight is very likelytwo tiers. We have asked Telbix to confirm. They are different objects, nottwo sizes of one ask us before choosing between them.

Six globes and the textured glass makes it easy

Six E14 to 25W each 150W total, not supplied.E14 is the small screw base, SES a candle or golf-ball globe.

The textured glass breaks up the source rather thandisplaying it, so the six globes need not match visually. What they do need:

• Warm 2700K against antique gold, cool white readsgreen.
• A compact shape: textured glass partly reveals, so a large decorative globe showsas a shadow.
• The same brand for all six if you intend to dim.

It dims, with the right globes our record saysNo, the datasheet and page both say globe dependent, andthey are right. Over a dining table that is worth having, andsix LEDs on one dimmer wants a matched set. Ask us.

150 watts of capacity, and what it really draws

150W is the maximum, from when six globes meant six incandescent lamps. WithLED E14s at 4 to 6W, the real draw is about 30W a fifth of the rating for comparable light. The fitting runs cool and you are nowhere near itslimit.

No weight is recorded for a 550mm six-light ironand glass pendant, and none for the three or the eight either. Hanging on two metres of suspension,that is the figure your electrician needs before the ceiling is opened.Ask us.

Textured glass the character of the range

The glass carries moulded relief, so each shadecatches light across its own surface and the globe issoftened and broken up rather than hidden or exposed. That is what the range copymeans by modern yet subtly artisanal: clean shapes with atactile surface, so the fitting reads as made rather than manufactured and itis why the Samona sits comfortably in both contemporary and transitional rooms, whichfew decorative pendants manage.

An unusually complete range. Samona is made as abatten fix, a wall light, and pendants in three, six and eight all in the sametextured glass and antique gold. A whole floor can carry one language: the batten fix in the hall, thewall lights on a landing, this over the table.

Where it works

• Long rectangular dining tables six sources over 550mm, low profile.
• Kitchen islands, where sightlines matter.
• Alongside Samona wall lights and the batten fix.
• For a round table or an entry, the eight-lights vertical form suits better.
• No weight recorded ask us before the fixing is chosen.

Questions

Which Samona pendant suits a long dining table?

This one. At 550mm across and only 310 high it is broad and low, so six sources spread over more than half a metre light the length of a table evenly rather than pooling in the middle and the low profile keeps it out of the sightline between people sitting opposite each other.

Why is the eight-light narrower than this?

Almost certainly because its shades are in two tiers rather than one. The three and six share the same 310mm height, which is what a single tier looks like; the eight is 470mm tall and 420 wide. We have asked Telbix to confirm they are different objects, not two sizes of one.

What globes do I need?

Six E14 the small screw base to 25W each, 150W total, none supplied. The textured glass breaks up the source, so they need not match visually. Use warm 2700K in a compact shape: against antique gold, cool white reads green.

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 six LEDs on one dimmer wants a matched set ask us.

Will 150 watts cost a lot to run?

No. That is the maximum, from when six globes meant six incandescent lamps. With LED E14s at 4 to 6 watts the real draw is about 30W for comparable light, so the fitting runs cool and you are nowhere near its limit.

How heavy is it?

Not recorded, on any of the three Samona pendants. Hanging on two metres of suspension, that is what your electrician needs before the ceiling is opened. Ask us.

Does it match anything else?

Yes Samona is a batten fix, a wall light, and pendants in three, six and eight, all in the same textured glass and antique gold. A whole floor can carry one language.
