The Varlin PE12 is a twelve-light pendant 600mm wide,380mm deep, in matte and mirror black, taking G9 globes.

The one that fits an ordinary room

This is the practical difference from its sibling. The eighteen-light Varlin is900 650mm and needs a stairwell or a double-height entry. The twelve is600 380mm a third narrower and nearly half thedepth. It works over a normal dining table under a normal ceiling, which the eighteen doesnot.

Twelve points of light, which is the design

The count is the fitting. Twelve small G9 sources across the frame givemany small bright points rather than one mass the Art Deco effect, where thepiece reads as a constellation. One large source behind the same frame would just look like a lamp.

Matte against mirror

The finish is both matte black on some surfaces, mirror on others. Themirror sections catch and multiply the twelve globes, so the fitting appears to holdmore light than it emits. That contrast is what makes it Deco rather than merely modern.

72 watts, and buy the globes together

Twelve globes at 6W each. A modern LED capsule gives around 350lm, sothe fitting delivers roughly 4,200lm a proper working output.Buy all twelve in one order: on a fitting whose entire subject is twelve visiblepoints, one globe of a different white is the only thing anyone will look at.G9 is a capsule base, not a screw fitting.

A 1,500mm suspension

Shorter than the 2,000mm most of this range carries, on a120 25mm canopy. Ample over a standard ceiling; tell us if you have araked or double-height space.

Where it works

• Dining tables under an ordinary ceiling.
• Kitchen islands.
• Entry halls.
• Art Deco and glamour interiors where the eighteen would be too much.

Questions

How does it compare to the 18-light Varlin?

That one is 900 650mm and needs a stairwell or double-height entry. This is 600 380mm a third narrower and nearly half the depth, so it works over a normal dining table under a normal ceiling.

How many globes does it take?

Twelve G9 capsules at 6W each 72W total, not supplied. G9 is a capsule base, not a screw fitting.

How bright will it be?

A modern 6W LED capsule gives around 350lm, so twelve deliver roughly 4,200lm a proper working output.

Do I have to buy all twelve at once?

Please do. On a fitting whose entire subject is twelve visible points, one globe of a different white is the only thing anyone will look at.

What does the matte and mirror finish do?

The mirror sections catch and multiply the twelve globes, so the fitting appears to hold more light than it emits. That contrast is what makes it Deco.

How long is the suspension?

1,500mm shorter than the 2,000mm most of this range carries. Tell us if you have a raked or double-height space.

Can I install it myself?

No. It is ClassI, hard-wired and requires an earth.
