The Vantel PE80 is an 800mm circular LED pendant in black 48W giving 1,435lm, withswitchable 3000K / 4000K / 5000K, dimmable.

Read the wattage carefully this is not an efficientfitting. 48W for 1,435lm is 30 lumens per watt, which isamong the lowest in this catalogue. For comparison, at the same 1,435lm:

• the Madras WB120 wall light uses 24W half;
• the Eltz oyster would use about 14W less than athird.

The figures are not an error. The two sibling Vantels give29 and 26lm/W independently, so the threeconfirm each other. The Vantel is a fitting you buy forthe form a clean 800mm lit circle and it willcost roughly three times as much to run as an efficient fitting of the samebrightness. Worth knowing, and no source said it.

An 800mm lit circle and that is the whole product

The Vantel is a ring: a clean circular form that reads asa drawn line of light against a ceiling. At 800mm it is alarge architectural gesture, and it is the sort of fitting specified fora form the room needs rather than for output.

The range is offered explicitly for commercial settings as well as domestic, andthat is where the geometry usually earns its keep reception areas, meeting rooms,stairwells and open-plan spaces where the ring reads from a distance.

1,435 lumens plan the room around it

Despite the 48W, the actual light is moderate. Over adining table it is adequate; as the only light in a large open roomit is not. If you are choosing an 800mm pendant expecting it to light a space in proportion toits size, it will not plan supporting light, or ask us about a brighterfitting.

Dimmable, and switchable across three colours

3000K, 4000K, 5000K set at installation, plusdimming. That combination is genuinely useful and quite rare here: many brightpendants in this catalogue cannot be dimmed at all. It means one fitting covers acool bright working setting and a warm low evening one.

No weight is recorded for an800mm pendant hanging from an 80mm canopy aten-to-one span from a single small mounting point. That is exactly the figure anelectrician needs. Ask us before the fixing is chosen.

The datasheet’s height, length and width cells are all zero, so the onlydimension we hold for this fitting is the 800mm width.Ask us if the depth matters to your ceiling clearance.

Aluminium, iron and silicon

The silicon missing from our record does the sealing and diffusingwork around the ring; the aluminium sheds heat, which at 48W is what determineshow long the LEDs last.

ClassI earth required,CRI above 80, IP20 indoor and dry locations only, on a2,000mm adjustable suspension.

Where it works

• Above dining tables and islands, as an architectural form.
• Commercial receptions, meeting rooms and stairwells.
• Rooms needing a bright working setting and a warm dimmed one.
• 30lm/W roughly three times the running cost of an efficient fitting.
• Ask us for the weight and depth before the fixing is chosen.

Questions

Why does it use 48 watts for only 1,435 lumens?

Because it is not an efficient fitting 30 lumens per watt, among the lowest in this catalogue. The Madras wall light produces the same 1,435lm from 24W and an Eltz oyster would use about 14. The figures are not an error: the two sibling Vantels give 29 and 26lm/W independently, so the three confirm each other. You buy a Vantel for the form, and it costs roughly three times as much to run as an efficient fitting of the same brightness.

Is it bright enough for a large room?

No. Over a dining table it is adequate; as the only light in a large open room it is not. If you are choosing an 800mm pendant expecting light in proportion to its size, plan supporting light or ask us about a brighter fitting.

What is it actually for?

The form a clean 800mm lit circle that reads as a drawn line of light against a ceiling. The range is offered for commercial settings as well as domestic, and receptions, meeting rooms and stairwells are where the geometry earns its keep.

Can I dim it?

Yes, and it switches between 3000, 4000 and 5000K at installation. That combination is rare here many bright pendants in this catalogue cannot be dimmed at all so one fitting covers a cool bright working setting and a warm low evening one.

How heavy is it?

Not recorded, for an 800mm pendant hanging from an 80mm canopy a ten-to-one span from a single small mounting point. That is exactly the figure an electrician needs, so ask us before the fixing is chosen.

How deep is it?

Not recorded either the datasheets height, length and width cells are all zero, so the only dimension we hold is the 800mm width. Ask us if ceiling clearance matters.

600mm, 800mm or the two-tier?

All three run at much the same low efficiency, so choose on form and scale: 600mm for a normal room, 800mm for a large one, and the two-tier where you want depth rather than width note the two-tier gives less light than this one from the same 48W.
