Invar 7 Pendant Light

The Invar PE7 is a 550 mm seven-light pendant in nickel matt with glass shades — integrated 40 W giving 3,040 lm at 4000 K, CRI above 90, TRIAC dimmable, on a 3,000 mm suspension.

CRI above 90 — and this is the reason to buy it

Our page never mentioned it. CRI above 90 is a real step above the >80 that almost everything in this catalogue records, and on a fitting that hangs over a dining table or a kitchen island it is the single specification that changes how the room looks:

• Food looks like food. Meat, greens and fruit hold their colour instead of going grey.
• Timber and stone read true — the grain in a table, the veining in a benchtop.
• Skin looks healthy rather than washed out, which is what people notice without knowing why.

It is paired with a COB LED source rather than the SMD used almost everywhere else in this range. Chip-on-board puts the emitters in a single dense array instead of a scatter of separate points, which gives a crisper, more directional light with cleaner shadows — and that is exactly what high CRI is worth having with. Together they make the Invar a genuinely good fitting to eat and cook under, and nobody was told.

4000 K, and it dims

4000 K is neutral white — brighter and cleaner than the 3000 K most pendants here use, and the right choice over a kitchen island where you work. Over a dining table only, it is cooler than traditional; the TRIAC dimming is what rescues that, because a neutral light taken low reads considerably warmer than a neutral light at full.

Ordinary wall dimmer, no special gear. On a 3,040-lumen fitting over a table, that matters.

8.2 kilograms, on three metres of suspension

Seven shades across 550 mm

Each glass shade is 130 mm, arranged across a 550 mm canopy. Seven separate sources spread over half a metre light a table evenly rather than pooling under one point — which is what a cluster is for, and why it beats a single large pendant over a rectangular table.

Where it works

• Kitchen islands and dining tables — CRI >90 and 4000 K.
• Stairwells and double-height rooms — 3 m of suspension.
• Modern and contemporary interiors, in nickel matt.
• ⚠ 8.2 kg on a 3 m drop — a structural fixing.
• ⚠ No bulbs, no sockets, nothing to replace — despite what the range copy said.
