Description
The Montebuono is a long, slim LED pendant: a gold bar 180cm long and 5.5cm wide, hung on two fine wires from a black rectangular ceiling canopy, and 150cm tall overall. The body is aluminium and steel in a black, brown and gold finish, and the bar is built in two sections that slide one along the other, so it can be closed up shorter or drawn out to its full length. Two integrated LEDs of 10.5W each give 1,300lm apiece at 3000K, a warm white, through a white plastic diffuser along the underside. It is rated IP20, which makes it an indoor light for dry rooms.
We picture it first over a dining table, where one long run of light reaches every place setting rather than pooling in the middle, and a kitchen island or a long desk suits it just as well. Because the bar slides, the same pendant can follow a change of table without a new fitting. The light falls downward, so plates and faces are lit, and the black canopy keeps the ceiling point neat and small. It suits anyone who wants a single clean line of light instead of a cluster of shades.
Aluminium is a light metal that does not rust, and here it is paired with steel. The LEDs are dimmable, so the same pendant can give a soft glow for a long dinner or full brightness for homework. There is no switch on the pendant itself: it is switched at the wall. Its energy class is E, and it weighs 2.675KG packed. As a wired-in mains light, it is installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions come as a download, so they can be read before fitting day.

Frequently Asked
Can the Montebuono hang in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, so it belongs indoors in dry rooms such as a dining room, kitchen or study, away from water.
How bright is each light?
Each of the two integrated LEDs gives 1,300lm at 3000K, a warm white, and the pendant is dimmable.
Can the bar be made shorter?
Yes. The bar is built in two sections that slide one along the other, so it can be closed up shorter or drawn out to its full 180cm length.
Does it need a bulb?
No bulb is needed. The light source is integrated LED, two lights of 10.5W each, built into the bar behind a white plastic diffuser.
Is there a switch on the pendant?
There is no switch on the pendant itself. It is switched at the wall, and its LEDs are dimmable for softer evenings.
What finish is the Montebuono?
The body is aluminium and steel in black, brown and gold: a gold bar hung from a black rectangular ceiling canopy on two fine wires.
