Description
The Hinkley Amelia is a 324mm semi-flush ceiling light built around a domed cast glass diffuser set within a heritage brass frame. A Greek key pattern cut into the upper trim ring encircles the diffuser, with two small brass rivets at the lower ring adding detail to the classical profile. The fitting takes two E27 bulbs (sold separately) and projects 170mm from the ceiling, making it suitable for rooms with ceiling heights of 2.3m or above.
Designed for hallways, entrance areas, dining rooms and low-ceiling bedrooms where a full pendant drop would be impractical, the Amelia provides general ambient light without dominating visual space. The cast glass diffuser softens the output from the two bulbs, reducing glare while maintaining adequate light levels for circulation and task zones. The heritage brass finish carries a warmer, slightly darker tone than polished brass, with a brushed texture that sits comfortably in both traditional and transitional interiors.
The Amelia is part of Hinkley's retro-inspired collection, produced by the Ohio-based manufacturer known for US-specification lighting adapted for UK sockets and voltage. The cast metal trim rings are heavier than stamped-metal alternatives, giving the fitting a more substantial presence than typical flush mounts at this size. The Greek key trim is a recurring design element across the Amelia range, which includes matching pendant, wall and bath bar fittings in the same heritage brass finish.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does it take?
The Amelia takes two E27 (Edison screw) bulbs, each up to 40W maximum. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED bulbs between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for hallway or bedroom use.
Is it suitable for low ceilings?
Yes. The 170mm projection from the ceiling makes the Amelia suitable for rooms with ceiling heights of 2.3m or above, where a full pendant drop would hang too low. The semi-flush design provides general ambient light without occupying vertical space.
What finish is the brass?
Heritage brass is a warmer, slightly darker tone than polished brass, with a brushed texture rather than a high-shine finish. It carries more depth than standard brass and sits comfortably in both period and contemporary interiors.
Are there matching fittings available?
Yes. Hinkley produces the Amelia in a full range including pendants, wall lights and bath bar fittings, all carrying the same heritage brass finish and Greek key detailing. Use the search function to find other Amelia pieces in stock at Niori.
