Description
The Alfa is an 8-light semi-flush ceiling light built around a central French gold knot structure from which eight polished brass arms radiate outward, each terminating in a faceted clear glass shade. The shades are multi-faceted and diamond-cut to refract light across their surfaces, while the French gold finish on the metalwork adds warmth against the clarity of the glass. Each arm accepts a G9 bulb (sold separately), allowing the fitting to provide both ambient ceiling light and decorative sparkle.
Designed for rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4-2.7m where a full pendant would hang too low, the Alfa's 250mm projection from ceiling to base keeps the fitting close to the surface while the 800mm diameter provides substantial visual presence. The semi-flush format suits living rooms, dining rooms, master bedrooms and entrance halls where decorative lighting is needed without sacrificing headroom. The central knot structure and radiating arms create a symmetrical circular composition when viewed from below.
The French gold finish is a soft, warm-toned brass with a subtle brushed texture that reduces glare under daylight and pairs well with warm greys, creams, taupes and traditional wood tones. Each of the eight glass shades weighs the fitting to 7.7kg total, requiring secure fixing to a joist or ceiling support capable of carrying that load. The fitting is dimmable when paired with dimmable G9 LED bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch, allowing light levels to be adjusted from full brightness for task lighting to low ambient glow for evening use.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does it take?
The Alfa takes eight G9 capsule bulbs (sold separately). G9 LED bulbs in 3W-5W and 2700K-3000K colour temperature are recommended for residential use. The maximum combined load is 320W, but LED bulbs allow full brightness at a fraction of that power draw.
Is it suitable for low ceilings?
Yes. The 250mm projection from ceiling to base makes the Alfa suitable for rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4-2.7m, where a full pendant would hang too low and reduce headroom. The semi-flush format keeps the fitting close to the surface while the 800mm diameter provides decorative presence.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, when paired with dimmable G9 LED bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. The dimmer must be rated for LED loads and compatible with the specific bulb model you choose. Non-dimmable G9 bulbs will not dim and may flicker or fail if used with a dimmer.
What ceiling fixing is required?
The fitting weighs 7.7kg and must be fixed to a joist, ceiling support or reinforced section capable of carrying that load. Standard plasterboard fixings are not sufficient. The base plate covers a standard UK ceiling rose and the fitting is hard-wired to mains during installation.
