Alaska 4 Light Semi-Flush Ceiling Light - Satin Nickel

The Alaska is a 4-light semi-flush ceiling light built around four sculpted glass shades mounted on curved satin nickel arms extending from a central circular ceiling plate. Each shade combines a frosted inner surface with clear faceted edges, creating a star-like profile approximately 100mm across. The fixture includes four L1/SGU10 CFL lamps at 2700K warm white, providing 36W total output across the four points.

Designed for rooms with standard or lower ceiling heights where a full pendant drop would sit too low, the 190mm projection from ceiling to lowest point suits entrance halls, bedrooms, dining rooms and living rooms between 3-4m wide. The 400mm diameter spread distributes light evenly across the central zone of the room without the arms extending beyond typical furniture layouts. The semi-flush mounting keeps the fixture clear of head height in circulation areas.

The satin nickel finish on the metalwork is a brushed, low-reflectivity surface that reduces glare under daylight and pairs with both cool greys and warmer metallics elsewhere in a room. The sculpted glass shades diffuse the CFL output through the frosted interior while the clear faceted perimeter catches and refracts light at the edges, adding definition when the fitting is on. The arms curve gently outward from the central plate in a balanced cross formation, giving the fixture a symmetrical appearance from below.

The Alaska collection from Mantra is manufactured in Spain and shares the same sculpted glass shade design across multiple configurations, including wall lights and larger ceiling fittings. The included CFL lamps are not dimmable, so the fixture operates on standard switching only. The 2.1kg weight requires secure fixing to a ceiling joist or a plasterboard anchor rated to support the load plus a safety margin.

Is the Alaska dimmable?

No. The included CFL lamps are not dimmable and the fixture operates on standard on/off switching only. Replacing the CFLs with dimmable alternatives would not add dimming capability without changing the internal components.

What ceiling height does it suit?

The 190mm projection from ceiling to lowest point makes the Alaska suitable for standard 2.4m ceiling heights and above. The semi-flush design keeps the fitting clear of head height in circulation areas while still giving the sculptural glass shades room to be appreciated.

What size room does the 400mm diameter cover?

The 400mm arm span suits rooms between 3-4m wide, providing central ambient lighting for bedrooms, dining rooms and entrance halls. In larger rooms the Alaska works best paired with wall lights or table lamps to fill the perimeter zones.

Are the CFL lamps replaceable?

Yes. The fixture uses L1/SGU10 CFL lamps, which are a specialist fitting. Replacement lamps are available from lighting retailers and directly from Mantra stockists. Standard GU10 LED or halogen lamps will not fit the L1/SGU10 socket.
