The Argon Lagos 1690 is a four-head ceiling bar, 620 mm wide, in the catalogue finish black structure with brass-plated elements. Four cylindrical heads sit on a painted-steel rail, and the brass-plated joints are the visible detail of this code. Argon’s 2024/2025 catalogue places 1690 in the Lagos series and describes it as a four-light ceiling fitting that can also be mounted as a wall light.
The heads are adjustable. At full projection the depth is 90 mm maximum, the height is 145 mm and the width is 620 mm. Compare that 62 cm rail with the table, sofa or wall run before you order. The catalogue lists a weight of 1.1 kg and does not separate net weight from packed weight.
Four GU10 lamps are not in the box
The light source is not included. You need four GU10 lamps for 230 V, each rated up to 5 W. You choose colour temperature and beam angle: a narrower beam picks out a tabletop, a picture or a run of cabinets, and a wider beam covers more of the room. The fitting has no integrated LED module and no dimmer of its own. If you want dimming, it has to come from the lamps you buy and from the circuit, not from the bar.
Ceiling or wall, only in a dry room
Argon explicitly allows this code to be installed as a wall light. On the ceiling the rail gives four aimable points over a table or along a sofa. On the wall the same heads can point downward, for example beside a bed or in a hallway. IP20 means no protection against water, so keep it in a dry interior, away from a shower, a bath and from rain outdoors. That is a limit, not a selling point.
Structured black, not matte black
The official finish name is black structure with brass-plated elements, not smooth matte black. The black rail and black tubes make a straight geometric line, without decorative arms. The brass-plated joints separate 1690 from neighbouring Lagos codes that change the head count or the mix of black, white and brass. The catalogue also notes that chrome or painted elements can be specified instead of brass-plated ones; 1690 is the brass-plated version. Order by the number 1690.
