Ariva 80Cm Pendant Light

The Ariva PE80 is an 800 mm linear pendant in black or white sand — 34 W giving 1,525 lm, with switchable 3000 K / 4000 K / 5000 K, CRI above 90, TRIAC dimmable.

CRI above 90 — the specification worth comparing

Most pendants in this catalogue record CRI 80, where food looks duller, timber flattens and skin goes slightly grey. The Ariva records above 90, and an 800 mm linear pendant goes over a dining table or a kitchen island — the two places in a house where colour rendering does the most visible work. It was in the table with no explanation.

800 mm — the size for a normal table

800 mm long by 130 mm high, on a 200 mm canopy with 2,000 mm of adjustable drop.

Against the 1,060 mm Ariva, this is the domestic size: it suits a table of about 1.4 metres where the larger wants 1.8. Note also the suspension — this one drops 2 metres, where the 1,060 mm drops 3. The bigger Ariva is built for voids and raked ceilings; this one is built for an ordinary room.

1,525 lumens across 800 mm — an even wash

This is what a linear pendant is for. A round pendant over a table lights the middle and leaves the ends dim; 800 mm of continuous emitter lights the whole surface evenly. At 1,525 lm it is enough to be the main light over a table that size.

45 lumens per watt — the same efficiency as the 1,060 mm version, which confirms the family figures — and modest for two honest reasons: the CRI above 90, which always costs efficiency, and the diffuser that produces the evenness.

Three colour temperatures, and none of them warm

3000 K, 4000 K, 5000 K, set at installation. There is no 2700 K, so the Ariva never goes fully warm — and 5000 K is cooler than most switchable fittings here reach. Combined with the dimming, that gives a cool bright working island and a warm dimmed dining table from one fitting.

Where it works

• Dining tables around 1.4 metres, and kitchen islands.
• Standard ceilings — the 2-metre drop, unlike the 1,060 mm version.
• Rooms needing both a bright working setting and a warm dimmed one.
• ⚠ No 2700 K — it does not go fully warm.
• ⚠ Ask us for the weight before the fixing is chosen.
