INTRODUCTION

Caravaggio Lights

Creating a simple, soft design for small and large pendants was the main idea behind Cecilie Manz Caravaggio series. The curves passed through a number of shapes during the design process, but this version captures a feminine form.

The shade is made of drawn steel and coated with smooth, high-gloss painting. The suspension technology is masculine in construction, creating the right counterbalance to the shades feminine lines. The suspension assembly consists of curved steel rods and two pieces of die-cast, aluminium-zinc alloy coated in matt chrome. The depth of the shade prevents glare, no matter how high the pendant is hung. Caravaggio also features an opening at the top, which casts light upwards and illuminates both the suspension and cord.

Caravaggio is characterised by direct lighting without glare. It also adds to the room's ambient light via the upward lighting from the pendant's top

Caravaggio P4 looks its best in large high ceiling rooms, whether this is business premises, public environments or in private homes.

There are three different versions of the P4 large room pendent. The incandescent lamp version gives a soft comfortable light, particularly suitable for the private market and interior applications where the goal is to create a pleasant atmosphere. The two compact fluorescent lamp versions are recommended where there is a need for higher lighting levels and greater energy efficiency. Both compact fluorescent lamps versions are supplied with electronic dimmable ballasts. A screen is fitted between the two compact fluorescent lamps to ensure the best light distribution and to reduce the transfer of heat from the other compact fluorescent lamp, so ensuring longer lamp lifetimes. The reflector version has a broader light distribution and is a little less powerful than the non-reflector version

The P4 shade is manufactured of drawn aluminium coated with a smooth, high gloss paint finish. The suspension assembly consists of curved steel rods and two pieces of die-cast, aluminium-zinc alloy coated in satin chrome.

With a diameter of 40 cm the Caravaggio P3 is characterized as a large room pendant. This size is in particular predicted a great future in terms of decoration of private homes and business premises.

With a diameter of only 11 cm the P0 is the smallest pendant in the series. According to the designer it looks its best when repeated many times e.g. over the counter in a reception.
