The Verdun PE26 is a 265mm contoured frosted glass pendant in antique gold one E27 globe to 25W, not supplied, on a2,000mm suspension.

This size gives exactly as much light as the400mm. Both Verduns take the same single E27 to 25W. So arun of three of these is the only way to get more light from a Verdun andover an island, three small contoured pendants are better proportioned than one large oneanyway.

Contoured frosted glass and it can hang low

The shade is frosted and contoured: a shaped profile rather thana plain dome, which is where the Verdun’s traditional character comes from. Because the frostinghides the globe completely, there is no glare from any angle.

That is the practical reason to choose a Verdun. It can hanglow over an island or a bench, at the height where a pendant actually does its work,without anyone squinting at it. In a run of three at working height, that is thewhole difference between a scheme that works and one you avoid looking at.

The contour gives the glass gradation as the light passes through brighter where the profile turns, softer where it flattens so it reads as atraditional fitting rather than a modern globe.

265 by 205mm the size for a run

On a 120mm canopy with 2,000mm of adjustable drop.At this size a single Verdun is a detail beside a bed, in a small entry, at ahallway end and three over an island is a composition. Over a full diningtable on its own it will look undersized; the 400mm is the one for that.

The globe choice is simple, and it matters in a run. OneE27 to 25W, not supplied. Nothing shows through frosted glass, sobrightness and warmth are the only decisions but if you are hangingthree, buy the globes together so all three shades read the same. Usewarm 2700K: against antique gold, cool white reads green.

It dims, with the right globe and our page had it right. Thespecification table said Globe Dependant, which is correct; ourrecord said No, which is not. In a run,three LEDs on one dimmer is where mismatched brands flicker ask us for a matched set.

Questions

Should I hang one or several?

Several, over an island. Both Verdun sizes take the same single globe, so a run of three of these is the only way to get more light from a Verdun and three small contoured pendants are better proportioned over a bench than one large one anyway.

Can I hang it low?

Yes the frosted shade hides the globe completely with no glare from any angle, so it works at the height where a pendant actually does its work. In a run of three at working height, that is the whole difference between a scheme that works and one you avoid looking at.

Is the 400mm brighter?

No identical. Both sizes take the same single E27 to 25W.

What globe should I fit?

A warm 2700K E27 nothing shows through frosted glass, so brightness and warmth are the only decisions, and against antique gold cool white reads green. If you are hanging three, buy the globes together so all three shades read the same.

Can I dim it?

Yes, with a dimmable globe our page had this right where our record did not. In a run, three LEDs on one dimmer is where mismatched brands flicker, so ask us for a matched set.

Will it work over a dining table on its own?

It will look undersized. The 400mm is the one for that or hang three of these.

How heavy is it?

Not recorded. Ask us before the fixings are chosen, particularly for a run of three.
