The Serda PE184 is a 1,840 mm linear pendant in white — 46 W giving 2,310 lm, with switchable colour temperature and a built-in TOUCH dimmer, on an 1,800 mm suspension. It dims by touch, and our record said it did not dim at all. The record carried “dimmable: No” against a pendant whose touch sensor is its headline feature — a buyer reading that would have discarded the very thing this fitting is for. The datasheet and the old specification table both say Touch. ⚠ Think about where the sensor ends up. A touch dimmer is excellent on a desk lamp and awkward on a pendant: on a 1,800 mm suspension over a table, you have to reach the fitting to change the level. That is fine over a low bench or a workbench, and impractical over a high dining table. Plan the drop with the sensor in mind, or ask us before you order. 1,840 mm of light in a 50 mm bar Nearly two metres long, only 50 mm wide and 55 mm deep. That is a line of light, not a fitting with a shade — and at 2,310 lm spread over that length it gives even illumination along a long surface rather than a pool. It is made for a long dining table, a kitchen island or a workbench, and below about two metres of table it will overhang. Three colour temperatures — with one figure in dispute 4000 K natural and 5000 K cool are agreed by every source. The warm setting is not: the datasheet says 2700 K, our record and the old page say 3000 K. We publish 3000 K and tell you the datasheet disagrees. In practice 2700 K is noticeably warmer — closer to a filament globe — so if the exact warm point matters to you, ask us to confirm. CRI above 83 An unusually specific figure, and a useful one: above the 80 that most linear pendants manage, without the price of a 90-plus fitting. Over a dining table or a work surface that is a sensible place to land. It is Class I — earth required. Hard-wired to a 65 mm canopy projecting 60 mm. A licensed electrician installs it — correctly stated on this page. Aluminium, iron and PVC An aluminium extrusion doing the structural and heat-shedding work, with a PVC diffuser along its length — which is what gives the even line rather than a row of visible LEDs. Where it works Long dining tables and kitchen islands — two metres and up. Workbenches and studios, where even light along a surface matters. ⚠ Below two metres of table it will overhang. ⚠ The touch sensor is on the fitting — plan a reachable drop. ⚠ Indoor and dry locations only — IP20. Specifying it 1,840 mm long, 50 mm wide, 55 mm deep, canopy 65 mm projecting 60 mm, suspension 1,800 mm, in aluminium, iron and PVC. Integrated 46 W LED giving 2,310 lm, included, with switchable 3000 K / 4000 K / 5000 K (the datasheet says the warm setting is 2700 K), CRI >83, TOUCH dimming. 240 V, Class I — earth required, IP20 — indoor and dry locations only. Warranty is three years, as a replacement warranty. Supplied and supported by Lights For You. Questions Is it dimmable?Yes — it has a built-in touch dimmer, which is its headline feature. Our record said “dimmable: No”, which would have led a buyer to discard the very thing this fitting is for. The datasheet and the old specification table both say Touch. How do I reach the touch sensor over a table?That is the thing to plan for. A touch dimmer is excellent on a desk lamp and awkward on a pendant — on an 1,800 mm suspension you have to reach the fitting to change the level. Fine over a low bench, impractical over a high dining table. Plan the drop with the sensor in mind, or ask us. Is the warm setting 2700K or 3000K?Our sources disagree — the datasheet says 2700 K and our record and page say 3000 K. We publish 3000 K and tell you the datasheet differs. In practice 2700 K is noticeably warmer, closer to a filament globe, so ask us if the exact point matters. How long is it?1,840 mm — nearly two metres, and only 50 mm wide. Below about two metres of table it will overhang. Is it bright enough for a kitchen island?Yes — 2,310 lm spread along nearly two metres gives even illumination across a long surface rather than a pool of light, which is exactly what an island or a workbench wants. What is CRI above 83?Better colour accuracy than the 80 most linear pendants manage, without the price of a 90-plus fitting. Over a dining table or a work surface that is a sensible place to land. Do I need an electrician?Yes — Class I, earth required, hard-wired to a 65 mm canopy.
