An open-plan dining area at dusk: a long oak table under a straight row of three slim white Kahlo pendants, a floating oak sideboard with lines of warm Oberon strip light beneath it and along its top, small Esuna trimless downlights in the ceiling, the kitchen island glowing behind and an empty sofa in the foreground.

The table is the room.

Pendants over the table, downlights overhead and a line of light along the sideboard.

The father reading a book with a mug of tea at the end of the oak dining table before dawn, the curtains closed and the room lit only by a low, warm line of Oberon strip light under the floating sideboard.

06:20 · First light

A quiet start.

Only the line under the sideboard is on, dimmed low and warm: enough to read by, while the rest of the house sleeps.

The family laughing over a Sunday breakfast of croissants, fruit and orange juice at the oak table, the father pouring juice, with morning daylight through the open sliders, the Esuna downlights on and the Kahlo pendants switched off above.

Sun 08:30 · Sunday breakfast

Sunday, slowly.

Daylight through the sliders, and small trimless downlights, each in a Ø 85mm cut-out, to fill the corners. The pendants can wait for the evening.

Tunable white

Homework, then home and relax.

Cool, clear white while the work gets done. Warm light once the books are packed away. The same downlights do both.

The son grinning over his maths homework at the dining table while his mother points at the page, in crisp cool light from Esuna trimless downlights, the curtains drawn. — 6500K, cool white

The same table, mother and son with the Esuna downlights now glowing a warm evening amber. — 2700K, warm white

Tunable white adjusts from 6500K to 2700K.

Also available in a fixed 3000K or 4000K.

Breakfast at eight. Dinner at six.

The daughter laying white plates and the son placing wine glasses on the long oak table before guests arrive, under three slim Kahlo pendants glowing warm in a straight line, with Oberon strip light under the sideboard and the curtains drawn.

Sat 17:30 · Before the guests

Set for eight.

Three slim Kahlo pendants, just Ø 57mm across, hang in one straight line along the table, high enough to see everyone under them.

The family and four friends laughing around the long oak dining table over a roast, bread, salad and red wine, the father carving and the mother raising a glass, under a straight line of three slim Kahlo pendants glowing warm.

Sat 19:45 · The dinner party

Light on the table, not in your eyes.

Hung well above the table in one straight line, the pendants light the food and the faces, with a glare rating of UGR <19 and CRI 90.

Beam angles

Wide, or tight.

Beam angles of 24°, 36° and 60°: wide to wash the whole table, tight to keep the light on the centre.

Diagram of one pendant light with its 24°, 36° and 60° beams drawn to scale on a wall.

A guest in a white shirt pointing up at a slim white Kahlo pendant over the dinner table and asking about it, while the mother laughs and explains and another guest in a mustard jumper looks up, impressed.

Sat 21:00 · Guests

The light everyone asks about.

Someone always looks up and asks. Then they notice they can see everyone's face, and nobody is squinting.

The father setting a pavlova with berries and passionfruit on the floating oak sideboard and smiling over his shoulder, with an even line of warm Oberon strip light beneath it washing the floor and another along its top washing the wall.

21:30 · Dessert

The sideboard, glowing.

One unbroken line along the top and another underneath: no dots on the timber, just an even glow from end to end, with CRI 90.

Craft

Small source. Soft edge.

A slim cylinder with the light set deep inside, so what you notice is the pool on the table and not the lamp.

Close view of a single slim white Kahlo pendant over an oak dining table at night, its lens glowing softly warm and casting a round pool of light directly below onto two glasses of red wine and a sprig of eucalyptus.

Diameter: Ø 57mm
CRI: 90
UGR: <19

The mother and father laughing together over the last glass of red wine at the cleared table by candlelight, the slim Kahlo pendants dimmed right down to a soft warm glow above, the downlights off and the curtains drawn.

23:00 · After the guests

Down to candlelight.

The pendants turned right down to a soft glow and the downlights off, so the candles can carry the end of the evening.

Control

Every light, one system.

Pendants, downlights and strip all run on DALI-2, so the room can move from breakfast to dinner to candlelight in a single scene.

How DALI-2 works

The mother and father standing arm in arm beside their finished dining table at dusk, smiling, with three Kahlo pendants glowing over the table, Esuna downlights in the ceiling and warm lines of Oberon strip light along the sideboard.

Sunday · The renovation

Light you'll live with for years.

Every light in this room is rated for 50,000 hours or more and backed by a 5‑year warranty, so the room you finished stays the room you love.
