Pendant light | Thalos

This minimalist LED tube pendant light favours line over ornament: a long aluminium tube measuring 122 cm, suspended and height-adjustable, casting a crisp beam over a living room, dining room or hallway.

What kind of light does this LED pendant give?

The tube draws a fine, continuous line of light rather than a diffuse halo: the light grazes the table and leaves the walls in the background. This pendant light joins the minimalist lighting range, with a single light source to plan for.

• LED technology, GX53 base
• Bulbs not included, to be supplied
• Power 10 W
• Stated illuminated area: 5 to 9 m²

Which room suits a 122 cm pendant light?

This length calls for a large table or an open space, and the spec sheet allows for a living room, bedroom, kitchen, hallway or entrance. For an LED dining room pendant, see the right pendant height above a table.

• Above a dining table, centred on the axis
• In a line down a hallway, for a continuous stroke
• In a kitchen, if the room stays dry (IP20)

How do you adjust the height and install this suspended pendant?

It is a suspended fitting and the height adjusts up to 208 cm, on a 230 V mains supply. On this LED pendant light, connection to the mains requires a professional.

• Fix a solid anchor point to the ceiling
• Adjust the length before screwing in place
• Provide GX53 bulbs, not included
• Keep the instructions for the 5-year warranty

If ceiling height is limited, the Industrial ceiling light with curved arms, round shape mounts directly to the ceiling.

Which colour should you choose to match the room?

Sixteen colours are available, from white and black to stronger shades. For a dining room pendant, starting from the room's dominant colour avoids clashes.

• White, beige, taupe or mocha in a light interior
• Black to emphasise the line above a table
• Olive green, sage, ultramarine or light blue as an accent
• Red ochre, burgundy or peach to warm things up

For a round table, the 9-head gold and white globe pendant light plays a different tune. Contemporary and designer pendant lights move away from the strict tube.
