Alexandra 6 Light Crystal Flush Ceiling Light - Polished Chrome

The Alexandra is a 420mm flush crystal ceiling light built around a polished chrome circular canopy with a tiered arrangement of cut crystal components. Six E14 bulb fittings sit behind cascading strands of crystal beads, 40mm spheres and 62mm hexagonal drops, each mounted on the chrome frame in a layered configuration that expands outward from the centre. The underside ring is densely packed with small crystal beads, creating a continuous border of refracted light around the perimeter.

Designed for rooms with ceiling heights between 2.2m and 2.6m where a traditional chandelier would hang too low, the Alexandra provides ambient lighting with decorative presence while projecting only 210mm from the ceiling. The flush mount suits living rooms, main bedrooms, compact dining spaces and hallways where ceiling clearance is limited but crystal detail is wanted. The six bulbs distribute light evenly across the fixture, with the crystal components acting as both diffusers and decorative elements.

The polished chrome finish on the frame gives a cool metallic contrast to the clear crystal, producing sharp highlights when lit. Each hexagonal drop is facet-cut to catch and scatter light in multiple directions, while the 40mm spheres create rounded pools of refraction. The combined weight of 7.8kg requires a secure ceiling fixing capable of supporting the load — the fitting should be mounted to a joist or ceiling beam rather than plasterboard alone. The E14 fittings accept candle-style bulbs up to 60W each, and the fixture is dimmable when paired with dimmable lamps and a compatible dimmer switch.

Is the Alexandra suitable for low ceilings?

Yes. The 210mm projection from ceiling to base makes the Alexandra suitable for rooms with 2.2m to 2.6m ceiling heights where a traditional chandelier would hang too low. It provides decorative crystal lighting without reducing headroom.

What bulbs does it take?

The Alexandra takes six E14 candle-style 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 ambient lighting. The fixture is dimmable when using dimmable bulbs with a compatible dimmer switch.

How is the crystal cleaned?

Turn off power at the mains before cleaning. Wipe each crystal component with a dry microfibre cloth to remove dust. For deeper cleaning, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water can be used on the crystal beads and drops, but avoid soaking the chrome frame or wiring connections.

What fixing is required for the 7.8kg weight?

The 7.8kg total weight requires a secure ceiling fixing. The fitting should be mounted directly to a ceiling joist or beam, not plasterboard alone. If the ceiling rose position does not align with a joist, additional support such as a mounting plate fixed across two joists may be needed.
