Alexandra 18 Light Crystal Flush Ceiling Light - Polished Chrome

The Alexandra is a 950mm flush ceiling light built around a polished chrome circular frame supporting eighteen E14 bulb fittings, each surrounded by cascading Asfour and Diyas crystal. The crystal arrangement uses 40mm clear spheres and 62mm hexagonal drops positioned in expanding tiers that broaden outward from the centre, with a dense ring of small crystal beads wrapping the lower perimeter and vertical strands descending through the layers.

Designed for rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above where a chandelier drop would be impractical, the Alexandra sits 350mm below the ceiling rose and provides both ambient and decorative illumination across living rooms, dining rooms, entrance halls and master bedrooms. The eighteen bulbs distribute light evenly across the 950mm diameter, while the crystal layers refract and multiply that light into walls and ceilings. Dimmable operation is supported when paired with dimmable E14 bulbs, allowing brightness to be adjusted from full output for entertaining to lower levels for evening use.

Each crystal element is hand-cut and polished, giving the fitting a combined weight of 37.3kg that requires secure ceiling fixings rated for the load. The polished chrome finish on the frame and mounting hardware reflects light back through the crystal, amplifying the sparkle effect under both natural daylight and artificial evening light. The multi-tier structure creates depth and movement as viewpoint changes, so the fitting looks different from different positions in the room.

The Alexandra works in both contemporary interiors where it acts as a contrast to minimal furnishings, and in more traditional settings where it complements existing crystal or metallic accents. The 950mm diameter suits rooms of 20-30m² floor area where a smaller flush fitting would look undersized, but ceiling height limits the use of a pendant or chandelier.

What bulbs does the Alexandra take?

The fitting takes eighteen E14 small Edison screw bulbs, each up to 60W maximum. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED candle bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K-3000K for a warm ambient glow without excessive glare through the crystal.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, provided you use dimmable E14 bulbs and pair them with a compatible dimmer switch. The fixture itself supports dimming, but the bulbs must be specifically rated as dimmable.

What ceiling height is needed?

The Alexandra drops 350mm below the ceiling rose, so it suits rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. In rooms with 2.4m ceilings the bottom of the crystal sits at approximately 2.05m from the floor, which is acceptable in most residential settings but may feel low in hallways or circulation areas.

How is a 37.3kg ceiling light safely installed?

The weight requires a ceiling rose or mounting point fixed into a ceiling joist or substantial noggin between joists, not just into plasterboard. Professional installation is recommended. The fitting comes with mounting hardware, but the ceiling structure must be capable of supporting the load.
