The Trina PE10B is a ten-drop linear bar pendant in black integrated22W giving 880lm at 3000K, CRI above 83, on a3,000mm suspension.

First, a correction to our own page. It said theTrina takes up to 22W per lamp, which across ten drops would be220W. That is wrong by a factor of ten.

22W is the total about 2.2W per drop. Twosentences later the same paragraph said integrated 22W LED, contradicting itself.The correct figure is 22W and 880lm for the whole fitting.

And a figure we cannot give you: how long the bar is.This is a bar pendant, and on a bar pendant the length is thedimension that decides everything whether it suits your table, how the drops space out, how itsits against the room.

No source records it. Not the datasheet, not our product record, not the old page.We have a height (565mm) and asuspension (3,000mm) and nothing across. Ask us and we will measureone before you commit do not order this to sit over a specific table withoutthat number.

Ten drops, and nothing to buy

Ten slender pendants hang from a single bar canopy. The 10 lamp holderson the old specification table reads as ten globe sockets, and it is not:each drop is an integrated LED, supplied and sealed. Nothing to buy, nothingto match, nothing to replace and equally, nothing to change.

880lm across ten drops is roughly 88lm each. That isthe right way to read this fitting: it is a rhythm of ten small warm points, not abright light. As a decorative layer above a table it is excellent; as theonly light in a dining room it is not enough, and it should be planned withdownlights or a lamp alongside.

It does not dim and over a dining tablethat is the limitation worth knowing. Ten small warm points at a fixed level is asingle setting: you cannot take it down for the end of a meal. If dimming mattersover your table, ask us the Torben linear pendant in thiscatalogue is TRIAC dimmable.

CRI above 83 slightly better than most, and worth a word

Most fittings in this range record above 80. The Trina recordsabove 83, which our page never mentioned. Over a table that is where colour renderingis actually noticed food, timber and skin so the margin, small as itis, is in the right place.

Three metres of suspension

3,000mm is the longest drop of any pendant reviewed in thisprogramme so far where most sit at 1,500 to 2,000mm. That is a deliberatechoice for stairwells, double-height voids and entry spaces, where the fitting has tocome a long way down before it means anything.

Over an ordinary 2.4-metre ceiling, most of that will beshortened at installation which is normal, and worth telling your electricianin advance.

565mm of drop height in the fitting itself, inaluminium, iron and fibre the fibre is in the datasheet andwas missing from our record. It isClassI earth required andIP20 indoor and dry locations only.

Where it works

• Above dining tables and kitchen islands, as the decorative layer.
• Stairwells and double-height voids 3m of suspension.
• Ask us for the bar length before ordering no source records it.
• 880lm total not enough as a rooms only light.
• It does not dim. The Torben does.

Questions

How much power does it use?

22 watts in total about 2.2W per drop. Our old page said up to 22W per lamp, which across ten drops would be 220W. That was wrong by a factor of ten, and the same paragraph contradicted it two sentences later.

How long is the bar?

No source records it not the datasheet, not our product record, not the old page. We have a height and a suspension length and nothing across. Ask us and we will measure one before you commit; do not order this for a specific table without that number.

Do I need to buy ten globes?

No. The 10 lamp holders on the old table reads as ten sockets, but each drop is an integrated LED, supplied and sealed nothing to buy, nothing to match, nothing to replace.

Is it bright enough to light a dining room?

Not on its own. 880lm across ten drops is about 88 each a rhythm of small warm points rather than a bright light. Excellent as a decorative layer above a table; plan downlights or a lamp alongside it.

Can I dim it?

No, and over a dining table that is the limitation worth knowing ten small warm points at a fixed level is a single setting. If dimming matters over your table, ask us about the Torben linear pendant, which is TRIAC dimmable.

Why such a long suspension?

3,000mm is the longest drop of any pendant reviewed in this programme, where most sit at 1,500 to 2,000. It is meant for stairwells, double-height voids and entries. Over an ordinary 2.4-metre ceiling most of it will be shortened at installation tell your electrician in advance.

What is its colour rendering?

CRI above 83, where most fittings in this range record above 80. Our page never mentioned it. Over a table that margin is in the right place food, timber and skin are where rendering is actually noticed.
