Alcott 2 Light Tiffany Flush Ceiling Light - Valiant Bronze

The Alcott is a 421mm diameter Tiffany flush ceiling light built around a hand-cut stained glass shade in a geometric Mission-style pattern, mounted to a circular valiant bronze base that sits 135mm from the ceiling. The shade uses amber, orange, cream and green glass pieces arranged in radiating panels with dark leading between each section, and houses two E27 bulb fittings inside the dome.

Designed for rooms with ceiling heights of 2.2-2.7m where a pendant would drop too low, the Alcott suits hallways, bedrooms, low-ceilinged living rooms and Arts and Crafts-styled dining rooms. The flush mount positions the glass close to the ceiling, casting diffused light downwards and outwards through the coloured glass while the dark bronze mount absorbs into darker ceilings or provides contrast against lighter ones. The 421mm diameter covers the same footprint as a standard 400mm ceiling rose, making it a direct replacement for basic flush fittings.

Each shade is assembled from individual hand-cut glass pieces soldered into a copper foil framework, so the exact position and tone of amber, orange and green sections vary slightly between individual fittings. The valiant bronze finish on the mount is a darker, oil-rubbed variant of standard bronze with subtle variations in tone across the metal surface. The two E27 sockets accept bulbs up to 60W each (sold separately), giving flexibility to choose warm-white LEDs between 6-10W for ambient use or higher-output filament-effect bulbs if the room needs stronger task light.

What bulbs does it take?

The fitting takes two E27 (Edison screw) bulbs up to 60W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED bulbs between 6-10W and 2700K for ambient light that complements the amber and orange tones in the glass.

Is it suitable for low ceilings?

Yes. The flush mount sits 135mm from the ceiling, making it suitable for rooms with ceiling heights as low as 2.2m where a pendant would drop too far into the room. The 421mm diameter provides good light spread without needing significant vertical clearance.

Does the glass pattern vary between fittings?

Yes. Each shade is hand-assembled from individual cut glass pieces, so the exact positioning and tonal variation of the amber, orange, cream and green sections differs slightly between individual fittings. This is characteristic of Tiffany-style leaded glass construction.

How is the stained glass cleaned?

Wipe gently with a dry microfibre cloth when the fitting is cool and switched off. For stubborn marks, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water is acceptable, but avoid soaking the leading or using spray cleaners that may leave residue between the glass pieces.
