Description
The Radial is a round ceiling canopy in matt black with a driver built in. It is made to hold and power three or four pendants, each sold separately. It measures 24.5cm across and just 3.7cm tall, so it sits low and flat against the ceiling. It gives no light of its own. Its 12W driver takes the 230V mains supply and feeds the pendants hung from it at 24V DC, so those pendants need no separate driver of their own.
Gathering three or four pendants onto one ceiling point, the Radial suits a cluster over a dining table, a group in a hallway or stairwell, or a set hung above a sideboard in a living room. It carries no IP rating, so it is for dry rooms indoors only. When you choose the pendants, pick ones made to run at 24V DC, since that is what the canopy delivers to them. There is one more part to plan for. The accessory for hanging the electric cable is not included and is sold separately, so buy it alongside the canopy and the pendants to complete the fitting.
The matt black finish is flat and low in sheen, so the canopy reads as a quiet disc on the ceiling and leaves the pendants to take the eye. It runs on 230V mains and is wired in by a qualified electrician. It is not dimmable, so plan it on a standard on and off switch rather than a dimmer. As a practical note, settle on your three or four pendants before the installation and have the accessory for hanging the electric cable ready on the day, so the electrician has every part to hand.
