The Truvon PE40 is a 405mm pendant in four colourways integrated20W giving 1,550lm, withselectable 3000K / 4000K / 5000K, on a2,000mm suspension.

You can choose the colour of the light, but not itslevel. The Truvon offers three colour temperatures anddoes not dim which on a fitting most people hangover a dining table is the wrong way round.

The colour is set once, at installation, and never touched again. Thebrightness, which you would want to change every evening, isfixed at 1,550 lumens.

If the Truvon is going over a table, know that before you buy it. If dimmingmatters, ask us the Torben linear pendant isTRIAC dimmable.

1,550 lumens over 405mm

77.5lm/W, which is efficient, and enough to light a table on itsown a genuinely bright pendant rather than a decorative one. Over an island or adining table it will do the work without help.

The simple, clean form is the point of the Truvon: a plain shade at 405mm,which is why it comes in two sizes and four colourways it is designed tofit in rather than to be the thing you look at.

Which colour temperature to choose

• 3000K warm. Dining tables, living rooms, bedrooms.This is the right answer in most homes.
• 4000K neutral. Kitchen islands where you work: itrenders food, boards and produce more truthfully.
• 5000K cool. A garage, laundry or workshop. It istoo cold for a room people sit in.

Decide before the electrician leaves. Our recordflags the Truvon as colour changing, which overstates it: the setting is madeat the fitting, at installation, and cannot be changed from a switch, an app or aremote afterwards. And if you are hanging two or three in a row,they must all be set the same a run where one is 4000K and the othersare 3000 is obvious and irritating, and fixing it means getting the electricianback.

Four colourways and a question about the oak

Black, white, black with oak andwhite with oak. The two-tone versions put a warm timber tone against a plainshade, which is what lets a simple pendant sit in a Scandinavian or warm-modern room.

The materials recorded are aluminium, iron andpolycarbonate no timber. So the oak isvery likely a finish rather than the material, in the same way that severalwalnut lamps in this catalogue are painted iron.

We have not asserted either way, and we have asked Telbix. If you arechoosing it for real timber, ask us to confirm before you order.

Questions

Can I dim it?

No and it is worth knowing before you hang it over a table. The Truvon lets you choose the colour of the light, which is set once at installation and never touched again, but not its level, which is fixed at 1,550 lumens. If dimming matters, ask us about the Torben linear pendant, which is TRIAC dimmable.

Which colour temperature should I pick?

3000K for dining tables, living rooms and bedrooms the right answer in most homes. 4000K over a kitchen island where you work, because it renders food and boards more truthfully. 5000K belongs in a garage, laundry or workshop.

Is the oak real timber?

The recorded materials are aluminium, iron and polycarbonate no timber. So the oak is very likely a finish rather than the material, in the same way several walnut lamps in this catalogue are painted iron. We have not asserted either way and have asked Telbix; if you are choosing it for real timber, ask us to confirm before you order.

Is it bright enough to light a table on its own?

Yes 1,550 lumens at 77.5lm/W, a genuinely bright pendant rather than a decorative one. Over an island or a dining table it will do the work without help.

Can I hang two or three in a row?

Yes, and they must all be set to the same colour temperature at installation. A run where one is 4000K and the others are 3000 is obvious and irritating, and fixing it means getting the electrician back.

What fixing does it need?

Nothing special 1.5kg is light for a 405mm pendant, which is a real difference from the heavier fittings in this catalogue.

Can I change the colour later?

No. Our record flags it as colour changing, which overstates it the setting is made at the fitting during installation and cannot be changed from a switch, an app or a remote.
