The Falling Sun is an elegant LED pendant light that has become an enduring icon of minimalist design. Its defining feature is a precision optical lens that directs light 360 degrees outward, creating a bright yet glare-free effect that enhances both comfort and aesthetics. This combination makes it highly versatile, whether positioned above a dining table, kitchen counter, or bedside, or staged as a sculptural chandelier that transforms a space into something extraordinary. Flowing into a room like a drop of sunlight, the Falling Sun delivers a warm sense of well-being, enriching interiors and highlighting architecture with subtle sophistication.
Central to its performance is Sunset Dimming technology, which allows the light to shift seamlessly from bright daytime levels to warm, calming hues that echo the natural rhythm of the sun. This transition supports a healthy, balanced lifestyle, promoting relaxation in the evening while ensuring vibrant clarity during the day. With a color rendering index above 90, the pendant captures colors and textures with natural richness and fidelity, delivering a first-class spectrum reminiscent of sunlight. The optical lens not only ensures exceptional color quality but also provides perfect glare control and wide, even light distribution across surfaces such as tables or counters.
The design of Falling Sun has been celebrated for 15 years as an example of natural clarity and timeless elegance. Its minimalist form ensures maximum flexibility, blending effortlessly into its surroundings while offering the freedom to set subtle lighting accents in any interior. Whether used as a single pendant or as part of a large-scale installation, it creates a striking visual effect that enhances the architecture and atmosphere of a space.
Crafted from polished aluminum and manufactured at GRAU’s Hamburg campus, the pendant reflects a dedication to quality and sustainability. Production relies on the highest-grade materials, sourced through long-standing partnerships with trusted local suppliers who adhere to strict social and environmental standards. This commitment results in a product that embodies both refined aesthetics and responsible craftsmanship.
Control is as sophisticated as the design itself. The GRAU app enables easy dimming and customization of light scenes, allowing users to configure individual moods or set light alarms tailored to their daily rhythm. Timers can be programmed for automatic switching, such as gently waking you in the morning with warm, sunlike light or winding down in the evening with soft, soothing tones.
Technically, the Falling Sun is as reliable as it is beautiful. Operating at a rated voltage of 220–240V with a power consumption of 14W, it delivers 850 lumens at an efficiency of 61 lm/W. Its direct, symmetric light emission is projected at a 54° beam angle, creating balanced coverage. The pendant features a six-meter suspension length, weighs just 1.3 kilograms (1.7 kilograms with packaging), and integrates seamlessly with trailing edge dimming systems. Its LED light source ensures long-lasting performance, while Sunset Dimming expands the color temperature range from 2700K down to 1300K for warm white ambience.
The Falling Sun is not just a pendant light—it is a timeless design statement, a versatile tool for architectural enhancement, and a source of warmth and atmosphere that enriches everyday living.
