Atla 6 Light Crystal Semi-Flush Ceiling Light - French Gold

The Atla is a 500mm semi-flush ceiling light with a French gold circular frame and six G9 bulb fittings hidden behind cascading tiers of facet-cut Asfour crystal. The crystal arrangement forms a layered waterfall structure that hangs 360mm from the ceiling, suspending multiple rows of clear crystal spheres and droplets on gold-finish metal strands.

Designed for dining rooms, bedrooms and living rooms with standard ceiling heights of 2.4-2.7m, the semi-flush structure keeps the fitting close to the ceiling while the multi-tier crystal cascade provides visual depth. The 500mm frame diameter suits rooms of 12-18m² where the fitting can act as a primary light source, or larger rooms where it supplements other lighting. The six G9 bulbs (sold separately) sit recessed within the gold frame, directing light downward through the crystal layers rather than directly into the room.

The French gold finish on the metal frame and crystal suspension strands provides a warmer metallic tone than polished brass or chrome, sitting between antique brass and yellow gold. A clear acrylic ring borders the outer edge of the frame, defining the circular silhouette and adding a second reflective surface that amplifies the light passing through the crystals. Each Asfour crystal piece is precision-cut with multiple facets that refract and scatter the downlight, creating moving patterns on the ceiling and walls as the fitting sways slightly with air movement.

The 5.5kg weight requires a ceiling joist or cross-batten fixing rather than a standard plasterboard ceiling rose alone. The fitting is dimmable when paired with dimmable G9 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch, allowing the light output and intensity of the crystal reflections to be adjusted for different times of day.

What bulbs does the Atla require?

The fitting takes six G9 bulbs with a maximum of 33W each. G9 is a compact capsule bulb with two loop pins. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with LED G9 bulbs in the 3-5W range at 2700K-3000K for warm white light that complements the French gold finish.

Is the Atla dimmable?

Yes, provided you fit dimmable G9 bulbs and use a compatible dimmer switch. The crystal fixture itself has no dimming restriction, so dimmer compatibility depends entirely on the bulbs and dimmer pairing.

What ceiling height is needed?

The fitting hangs 360mm from the ceiling. In rooms with 2.4m ceilings, the lowest crystal droplet sits at approximately 2.04m from the floor, which is sufficient clearance for most interior spaces. Rooms with 2.7m or higher ceilings allow the crystal tiers to be appreciated from multiple angles.

How is the crystal cleaned?

Switch off the mains supply before cleaning. Wipe individual crystal pieces with a dry microfibre cloth or use a barely-damp cloth with distilled water for stubborn marks. Avoid household sprays or chemical cleaners on the crystal or the French gold frame, as these can degrade the finish over time.
