Thoro RISA 120 is a pendant light in the form of a slim black ring, 120 cm in diameter, hung horizontally on three wires. The ring is made of aluminium in black (RAL 9011) and has a white diffuser on its underside, through which the integrated LED module shines.
Dimensions and mounting
The ring measures 120 cm across, and the whole light, suspension included, is at most 160 cm high. The suspension height is adjustable, so the ring can be lowered over a tabletop or left higher up under the ceiling. Compare the diameter with the length of your table or the width of the area the light will hang over.
Installation needs four fixing points in the ceiling: three for the wires, spaced around the circumference of the ring, and the black canopy with the mains connection, from which a transparent cable runs down to the ring. The fitting is protection class I, which means it must be connected to the protective earth conductor. It weighs 3.15 kg.
How much light it gives
The source is an integrated LED module that comes with the light – there are no bulbs to buy, but they cannot be swapped like in an ordinary fitting either. The light draws up to 102 W and gives 12,959 lm, as much light as a dozen or more old 60 W bulbs, so it works as the main lighting for a large living or dining room.
3000 K is a warm white, and a colour rendering index of CRI 93 means that wood, fabrics and food look natural under this light – which matters over a table. The light leaves the diffuser as an even, diffused line.
Where it fits
The maker intends RISA for over a dining table, the centre of a living room and spacious halls; its applications also include kitchens, bedrooms, entrance halls and staircases. A plain geometric ring without ornament gives it a modern form, and the black finish stands out clearly against a light ceiling. The light is made in Poland.
