The Siedel PE08 is an eight-light French Provincial pendant in copper available with fabric shades or bare eightE14 globes to 25W each, not supplied, at 550mm high.

This is the tallest Siedel taller than the nine.

So the eight is the deepest fitting in the range, and the nine gets an extra lightby spreading rather than growing. On an ordinary 2.4-metre ceiling, 550mm plus asuspension is a substantial drop over a dining table it will sit low, which iscorrect; over a walkway it will not.

Shaded or bare a real decision

Both are stocked, and they are different fittings to live with:

• With fabric shades (4.86kg) globes covered, lightdiffused and glare-free, reading as a traditional French Provincialchandelier. It can hang lower, and the globes need not match.
• Bare (3.9kg) eight visible E14globes on a copper armature: deliberate and more contemporary. The globesbecome the entire appearance, so buy eight matched decorativefilaments, and hang it well above eye level.

Ask us and we will send images of both.

Eight globes, 200 watts of capacity

Eight E14 to 25W each 200W total, none supplied.E14 is the small screw base, SES. With LED candles at 4 to 6Wthe real draw is around 40W a fifth of the rating, which on a fittingwith fabric shades matters for heat as much as cost.

Warm 2700K: against copper, cool whitereads green and turns a warm metal muddy.

It dims, with the right globes the datasheet saysglobe dependent, and the specification table carried no dimming row atall. Eight LEDs on one dimmer wants a matched set.

Copper, and French Provincial

Copper is unusual in this catalogue, which runs mostly to brass, chrome, nickel,black and gold. It is warmer and pinker than brass and reads asolder it belongs with aged timber, stone, linen and mutedpaint. Paired with a French Provincial armature it istraditional without being formal.

What our page did not tell you. Its specificationtable was three lines finish, light count, maximum wattage withno voltage, no IP rating, no dimensions and no dimming.

So: 240V, ClassI earth required,IP20 indoor and dry locations only, iniron with fabric shades, on a 2,000mm suspension. Andno width is recorded anywhere on an eight-light chandelier, that decideswhether it suits your table. Ask us before you order.

Where it works

• Dining tables 550mm of drop sits low over a table, which is right.
• Entries and stairwells with height.
• Traditional, French Provincial and vintage interiors.
• Not over a walkway it is the deepest Siedel.
• Decide shaded or bare before ordering.

Questions

Is it bigger than the nine-light?

Taller, yes 550mm against the nines 500, which makes it the deepest fitting in the range. The nine gets its extra light by spreading rather than growing. On an ordinary 2.4-metre ceiling, 550mm plus a suspension is a substantial drop: over a dining table it will sit low, which is correct, and over a walkway it will not.

Shaded or bare?

Both are stocked. Shaded, the globes are covered, the light is diffused and glare-free, it reads as a traditional French Provincial chandelier, and the globes need not match. Bare, eight visible globes on a copper armature is a deliberate contemporary look but the globes become the entire appearance, so buy eight matched decorative filaments and hang it well above eye level.

How heavy is it?

3.9kg bare or 4.86kg with the shades. Our datasheet records it as the single string 3.9 or 4.86, which is why no page ever displayed a weight.

What globes do I need?

Eight E14 to 25W each, 200W total, none supplied. Warm 2700K, because cool white against copper reads green. With LED candles at 4 to 6 watts the real draw is around 40W, which on a fitting with fabric shades matters for heat as much as cost.

Can I dim it?

With the right globes the datasheet says globe dependent and the specification table had no dimming row at all. Eight LEDs on one dimmer wants a matched set.

How wide is it?

No source records it, on an eight-light chandelier and that decides whether it suits your table. Ask us before you order.

What did the old page not tell me?

Almost everything. Its specification table was three lines finish, light count, maximum wattage with no voltage, no IP rating, no dimensions and no dimming. All of those are on this page now.
