Description
Overview

A reflective frame of stainless steel carries the aluminium lighting bodies, finished in polished chrome. All light is indirect. Both a ceiling and a suspension version exist.
Specifications
700 mm diameter, 562 mm high (ceiling version). Power 29 W on 220-240 V; output 1547 lm (3000 K source); colour rendering index 90; protection IP20; push dimmer. A 29 W LED source is included.
