Ashton 4 Light Crystal Semi-Flush Ceiling Light - Antique Brass

The Ashton is a 4-light semi-flush ceiling light combining an antique brass frame with four curved crystal scoop shades arranged on asymmetric curved arms. Each scoop holds a single G9 bulb (sold separately) behind a cage of faceted clear crystal segments set into a dark metal framework. The 460mm-wide fitting projects approximately 390mm from the ceiling, positioning it between a flush mount and a full-drop pendant.

Designed for rooms with standard 2.4m ceiling heights where a conventional pendant would hang too low, the semi-flush profile keeps the light source closer to the ceiling while maintaining decorative presence. The four scoops direct light both upward onto the ceiling for ambient wash and downward through the crystal for task and accent lighting. Suits dining rooms, bedrooms, hallways and living rooms where central ceiling lighting needs to provide both function and visual interest without dominating the space.

The antique brass finish shows a darker, warmer tone than polished or brushed brass, with a subtle matte patina that reduces reflections and pairs comfortably with oak furniture, warm paint tones and traditional or transitional interiors. The crystal segments are hand-set into each scoop frame, creating faceted surfaces that catch and refract light when the fitting is switched on. The asymmetric arrangement of the four arms gives the fitting sculptural dimension from multiple viewing angles rather than presenting as a flat circular form.

The fitting requires four G9 bulbs up to 33W each. G9 LED bulbs are recommended for lower energy consumption and heat output — typical LED equivalents run at 3-5W per bulb and provide comparable light output to 33W halogen. Dimmer compatibility depends on the bulb specification; dimmable G9 LEDs must be paired with a trailing-edge dimmer for smooth operation.

What bulbs does the Ashton take?

The fitting takes four G9 capsule bulbs, maximum 33W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with G9 LED bulbs in the 3-5W range with warm white (2700K-3000K) colour temperature for lower energy consumption and longer lifespan than halogen equivalents.

Is the Ashton dimmable?

Yes, provided you use dimmable G9 bulbs and pair them with a compatible trailing-edge LED dimmer. Standard rotary or push dimmers designed for halogen bulbs may cause flicker or buzzing with LED bulbs.

What ceiling height does it suit?

The 390mm drop makes the Ashton suitable for standard 2.4m ceiling heights. In rooms lower than 2.3m the fitting may feel visually dominant; in rooms above 2.7m a longer-drop pendant may provide better proportion.

How is the crystal attached to the frame?

The crystal segments are hand-set into the dark metal cage framework of each scoop shade. The segments are not glued loose beads but are held in individual sockets, so they do not rattle or shift during cleaning.
