Ava 9 Light Crystal Flush Ceiling Light - French Gold

The Ava is a 550mm flush ceiling light built from tightly connected gold-toned metal rings, each holding clear octagon crystals that form a shallow dome shape. Nine G9 bulbs (sold separately) sit behind the crystal arrangement, casting light through and around the crystals to create ambient illumination with multiple points of reflection. The French gold finish on the metal framework provides a warm metallic tone that pairs with traditional and classical interiors.

Designed for rooms with standard ceiling heights where a full drop chandelier would not fit, the Ava's 180mm profile sits close to the ceiling while maintaining the visual presence of a decorative fitting. The flush-mount format suits lounges, dining rooms, hallways and bedrooms with ceiling heights between 2.3m and 2.7m. The 550mm diameter provides coverage for rooms up to approximately 4m x 4m, delivering enough light spread for general ambient use when paired with G9 LED bulbs of 3-5W each.

Each octagon crystal is individually set into the gold framework, creating a repeating geometric pattern across the dome surface. The crystals catch and refract light from the nine internal bulbs, producing scattered highlights across the ceiling and upper walls when lit. The 6.3kg weight reflects the use of solid metal rings and glass crystals rather than lightweight substitutes. The French gold tone sits between polished brass and antique brass, offering a warmer finish than chrome or nickel while avoiding the darker patina of aged brass.

The fitting requires dimmable G9 bulbs if dimming is needed, paired with a compatible trailing-edge dimmer switch. The shallow dome form means the fitting projects less than 200mm from the ceiling, making it suitable for rooms where head clearance matters. The crystal arrangement creates visual interest without requiring the depth or hanging space of a pendant or chandelier, making it a practical choice for low-ceiling properties built in the mid-20th century or renovated loft conversions.

What bulbs does it take and are they included?

The Ava takes nine G9 bulbs up to 33W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users choose G9 LED bulbs between 3-5W in warm white (2700K-3000K) for ambient lounge or dining room lighting.

Is it suitable for low ceilings?

Yes. The 180mm height makes it a good choice for rooms with ceiling heights between 2.3m and 2.7m where a drop pendant would not fit comfortably. The flush-mount design sits close to the ceiling while maintaining decorative presence.

Can it be dimmed?

The fitting itself is dimmer-compatible, but you must use dimmable G9 bulbs and pair them with a compatible trailing-edge dimmer switch. Standard non-dimmable LED bulbs will not dim and may flicker or fail when used with a dimmer.

What size room does it suit?

The 550mm diameter provides enough light coverage for rooms up to approximately 4m x 4m when fitted with nine G9 LED bulbs of 3-5W each. Larger rooms may benefit from supplementary task lighting or wall lights.
