Cameleon Cable E27 is a suspension, not a complete lamp: a black cord 1.5 m long ending in an E27 lampholder in a chrome housing. It is one of the three parts from which a finished pendant is assembled in the Cameleon system.
How the Cameleon system works
Nowodvorski split the pendant lamp into separately bought parts: the ceiling canopy, the suspension β this product β and the shade or fitting. The same cord can therefore be paired with dozens of shades in different shapes, materials and colours, and years later only the shade need change, leaving the wiring alone. The canopy also gathers several suspensions at one ceiling point β hence the multi-point compositions over a table or island.
What exactly you are buying
The box contains the cord with an E27 lampholder. There is no shade, no ceiling canopy and no bulb, and the maker also notes that a mounting kit is not included. Before ordering, add up the whole: suspension + canopy + shade + light source.
E27 socket up to 25 W, LED only
The maker gives a maximum of 25 W "only LED". That limit follows from the construction of the lampholder and cord β do not fit older incandescent or halogen lamps of higher wattage. At 25 W of LED you have sources of around 2500β3000 lm available, more than a typical lamp over a table needs; in practice 806 lm (the 60 W equivalent) is usually enough. The lamp is replaceable and not included.

Class II β what it changes at installation
The suspension is protection class II, double insulated, and needs no earth conductor. In older buildings, where the ceiling box holds only two cores, that often decides whether a given lamp can be fitted at all without rewiring.
1.5 metres β how much of it is left
A 150 cm cord gives enough for a typical drop over a table (from a 2.6 m ceiling to a lower shade rim about 70β80 cm above the top) and lets the excess be tucked into the canopy. Remember that the drop is measured including the shade β with a large, tall shade the effective cord length is shorter than simple arithmetic suggests.

Choosing CAMELEON components
You are buying a pendant cable with lamp holder. Add a compatible shade, a ceiling canopy suited to the number of lighting points, and mounting accessories for the cable route. The pendant cable is one part of the assembled light; other system components are selected separately.
The bulb limit for this pendant cable is 25W LED only.
When choosing a bulb, use the lower of the wattage limits specified for the shade and the selected pendant cable. The same bulb base alone does not establish compatibility; the full pendant-cable family designation matters.
A bulb is not included; select one to suit the lamp holder and the limits of the complete assembly.
