Ashton 2 Light Crystal Floor Lamp - Satin Nickel

The Ashton is a 2-light crystal floor lamp built around a satin nickel stem with two curved arms rising at different heights, each holding a semi-circular shade formed from rows of clear faceted crystals. The two G9 capsule bulbs (sold separately) sit behind the crystal arrays, so the light refracts through the cut crystals and casts prismatic patterns onto nearby walls and ceilings when lit.

Designed for living rooms, bedrooms and reading corners where ambient and decorative light are needed without a fixed ceiling fitting, the Ashton provides two independently switched bulb positions at heights of approximately 950mm and 1360mm from the floor. The rectangular weighted base measures 280mm x 250mm and sits flush on carpet or hard floors, providing stability for the 6.6kg total weight. The satin nickel finish on the stem and arms provides a low-sheen metallic accent that pairs with both cool and warm-toned interiors.

The crystal shades are assembled from individual faceted crystal beads strung onto a metal framework, forming two half-moon shapes that catch light from any angle during the day and create a focal point when lit at night. The G9 socket type accepts compact halogen capsule bulbs up to 33W per socket, giving flexibility to choose colour temperature and brightness. When paired with dimmable G9 bulbs, the lamp can be controlled via a compatible dimmer switch to adjust from full output to low ambient glow.

What bulbs does the Ashton take?

The lamp takes two G9 capsule bulbs up to 33W each (sold separately). G9 bulbs are compact halogen capsules approximately 16mm diameter. Most users pair this with warm-white halogen G9 bulbs between 18-33W for ambient light, though LED G9 alternatives are available if lower power consumption is preferred.

Is the Ashton dimmable?

The fitting itself is dimmer-compatible, but requires dimmable G9 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch installed on the circuit. Halogen G9 bulbs are typically dimmable by default, while LED G9 bulbs vary by manufacturer — check the bulb packaging before pairing with a dimmer.

How tall is the lamp and where does the light sit?

The overall height is 1360mm from floor to the top of the upper crystal shade. The two bulb positions sit at approximately 950mm (lower) and 1360mm (upper), directing light both at reading height and upward for ceiling wash.

Are the crystals glass or acrylic?

The shades are assembled from faceted glass crystals strung onto a metal frame. Being glass rather than acrylic, the crystals refract light with sharper prismatic effects and a higher-clarity finish, but add to the overall 6.6kg weight of the lamp.
