Alexandra 16 Light Crystal Flush Ceiling Light - Gold

The Alexandra is a 770mm flush crystal ceiling light with a gold-finished frame holding 16 E14 bulbs behind multiple tiers of Asfour and Diyas crystal. The arrangement combines 40mm crystal spheres with 62mm hexagonal drops in descending layers, anchored by a circular ring of tightly set crystal beads at the base. The gold metalwork reflects and amplifies light through the crystal, casting warm refractive patterns across the room.

Designed for formal living rooms, dining rooms and hallways with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above, the 310mm drop keeps the fixture clear of head height while still delivering substantial presence. The 26.6kg weight requires secure fixing into a joist or ceiling reinforcement capable of supporting the load — the flush mounting plate distributes the weight across the ceiling rose rather than hanging from a single point. The 16 E14 bulbs (sold separately) provide strong ambient illumination when fitted with warm-white LEDs between 2700-3000K.

Each crystal element is facet-cut to catch and split light, with the hexagonal drops adding geometric contrast to the round spheres. The cascading strands in the centre of the fixture hang alongside the surrounding tiers, creating depth and visual texture from below. The gold finish on the metalwork pairs with traditional and classical interiors, particularly those using warm wood tones, deep upholstery and heritage colour schemes. Dimmable bulbs allow the light output to be adjusted between bright ambient light for gatherings and softer mood lighting for evenings.

What bulbs does it take and are they included?

The Alexandra takes 16 x E14 (small Edison screw) bulbs up to 60W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this fitting with 4-6W warm-white LED candle bulbs at 2700-3000K for ambient dining or living room lighting.

Is it suitable for low ceilings?

The 310mm drop means the bottom of the fixture hangs approximately 310mm below the ceiling. For standard 2.4m UK ceiling heights, this leaves around 2.09m of clearance — acceptable in most rooms but not in tight hallways. Rooms with 2.7m+ ceilings provide more comfortable visual proportion.

Can it be dimmed?

Yes, provided you fit dimmable bulbs and pair them with a compatible LED dimmer switch. The fixture itself is dimmer-ready; the actual dimming capability depends on the bulbs and dimmer you choose.

How is the weight supported during installation?

At 26.6kg, the Alexandra must be fixed into a ceiling joist or reinforced mounting point capable of supporting the load. The flush mounting plate distributes weight across the ceiling rose, but professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure safe fixing.
