Description
The Sahara is a 1095mm linear suspension light built around a continuous LED tube housed in an opal white acrylic casing, capped at both ends with polished chrome terminals. The integrated 40W LED runs the full length of the tube and emits 3000lm of 3000K warm white light in a 360° beam pattern, illuminating in all directions rather than projecting downward.
Designed for dining tables, kitchen islands and open-plan living areas where diffused ambient light is needed across a linear span, the Sahara suspends on two adjustable cables with a drop range of 700-1500mm. This allows the fitting to be positioned 700-800mm above a dining surface for table illumination, or raised to 1200-1500mm for general room ambience in spaces with higher ceilings. The 1095mm length suits tables and islands in the 1600-2400mm range.
The polished chrome end caps reflect and amplify the light emitted by the opal tube, creating a soft glow that extends beyond the physical length of the fitting. The opal acrylic diffuses the LED strip evenly, preventing visible hotspots or striping that can occur with cheaper linear LED designs. At 2.1kg the fitting is light enough to suspend from standard UK ceiling roses without additional structural support, and the slim 70mm width keeps the visual mass minimal despite the substantial light output.
The Sahara is part of Mantra's Spanish-designed LED collection and carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty. The LED is non-dimmable and non-replaceable — the entire fitting is designed as a sealed unit with an expected LED lifespan of 25,000-30,000 hours at typical domestic use patterns.

Frequently Asked
Is the Sahara dimmable?
No. The integrated LED is non-dimmable and must be connected to a standard on/off switch circuit. Attempting to fit this to a dimmer circuit may cause flickering or damage the driver.
What table or island length does it suit?
The 1095mm length works well over dining tables and kitchen islands between 1600-2400mm long. For larger islands or tables above 2400mm, consider pairing two Sahara fittings in parallel, spaced 800-1000mm apart.
Can the LED be replaced when it fails?
No. The LED is integrated into the sealed opal tube and is not user-replaceable. The LED is rated for 25,000-30,000 hours, which equates to approximately 10-15 years at typical domestic use (4-6 hours per day). The fitting carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
How is the drop length adjusted?
The suspension cables are adjustable between 700mm and 1500mm during installation. Once set, the drop length remains fixed unless adjusted by an electrician during future maintenance.
