The Tyson PE06 is a 1,300mm six-light pendant bar inantique gold or black with a choice of six different glasses six G9 globes to 6W each, not supplied, on a2,000mm suspension.

Twelve versions of the same fitting. This is what our pagewas cut off before explaining, and it is the reason to choose a Tyson.Two metal finishes antique gold or black bysix glasses, and the glass is not a colour choice. It changeswhat the fitting does with light.

Choosing the glass what each one actually does

• Clear Prism cut facets that refract. Maximum sparkle,throws light patterns, and the globe is fully visible. The most dramatic, and the onethat most needs a decorative globe behind it.
• Opal Matt fully diffused. The source disappears, eachshade glows as an even sphere, no glare from any angle. The one to choose if it hangslow over a table.
• Frost Tear a teardrop in frosted glass. Softer than clear, softer thanprism; the globe reads as a warm centre rather than a point.
• Amber Tear a teardrop in amber. Warms the light itself,so even a neutral globe reads golden. The warmest option by a distance.
• Smoke tinted grey. Cuts the output and darkens thefitting when it is off, which is what makes it read as an object rather than a light.
• Smoke Tear the same tint in the teardrop shape.

The practical rule: Opal Matt over a dining table where peoplesit under it; Clear Prism in a stairwell or entry where it is seen from below andaway; Amber or Smoke where the fitting is meant to be furniture asmuch as light.

Six sources along 1.3 metres

1,300mm long, 355mm high, at 2.05kg. Sixsources spread along that length light a long table evenly end to end instead ofpooling in the middle the whole argument for a bar over a cluster. Thecanopy is 350mm long and only 80mm wide, so the fixingspreads along the ceiling rather than sitting at one point.

It does not change colour. Our record carries acolour-changing flag against it. It takes six ordinary G9 globes and includes none there is nothing in the fitting capable of it.

Six globes to buy and they are part of the design

G9 to 6W each, 36W in total, none supplied. WithClear Prism or the tear glasses the globes are visible, so buysix matching decorative LEDs rather than whatever is in the drawer sixmismatched globes on a bar this long is very obvious. With Opal Matt it does notmatter at all.

Dimming depends on the globes. Our record saysNo; the datasheet says globe dependent, and thedatasheet is right nothing in a fitting that holds six G9s prevents dimming. Fitdimmable G9 LEDs with a wall dimmer. Six globes on one dimmer is exactlywhere mismatched LEDs flicker ask us and we will match a set to your dimmer.

Questions

How many versions are there?

Twelve two metal finishes, antique gold or black, by six glasses. The glass is not a colour choice: it changes what the fitting does with light.

Which glass should I choose?

Opal Matt over a dining table where people sit under it, because the source disappears and there is no glare from any angle. Clear Prism in a stairwell or entry where it is seen from below and away, because it refracts and throws patterns. Amber or Smoke where the fitting is meant to be furniture as much as light.

What is the difference between the tear glasses and the others?

Shape. Frost Tear, Amber Tear and Smoke Tear are teardrops; Clear Prism is faceted and Opal Matt and Smoke are rounded. Amber warms the light itself so even a neutral globe reads golden; Smoke cuts the output and darkens the fitting when it is off.

Does it change colour?

No. Our record carries a colour-changing flag against it, which is wrong it takes six ordinary G9 globes and includes none.

What globes do I need?

Six G9 to 6W each, none supplied. With Clear Prism or the tear glasses the globes are visible, so buy six matching decorative LEDs rather than whatever is in the drawer six mismatched globes on a bar this long is very obvious. With Opal Matt it does not matter.

Can I dim it?

With the right globes, yes. Our record says No; the datasheet says globe dependent, and nothing in a fitting that holds six G9s prevents dimming. Six globes on one dimmer is exactly where mismatched LEDs flicker ask us and we will match a set.

What does the ceiling need?

The canopy is 350mm long and 80mm wide, so the fixing spreads along the ceiling rather than sitting at one point. The whole fitting is 2.05kg.
