Description

The Balbo is a 50cm semi-flush ceiling light built around eight blown-glass globes in a cognac amber tint, each housing a G9 bulb (sold separately). The globes attach to a polished nickel frame that sits 29.5cm below the ceiling, making this suitable for rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above where a full chandelier drop would hang too low.

Designed for dining rooms, larger bedrooms and entrance halls, the Balbo provides decorative lighting across a 4-5m space while fitting flush enough to avoid head clearance issues. The eight G9 bulbs total up to 224W maximum load, though most users pair this with LED G9 capsules in the 3-5W range for ambient rather than task lighting. The cognac glass softens and warms the light output, turning each globe into a diffuser rather than a bright point source.

The nickel finish on the frame is polished rather than brushed, giving reflective highlights under daylight and pairing well with both warm brass accents and cooler chrome fittings in the same room. Each globe is individually mouth-blown, so expect minor variations in the amber tint depth and bubble patterns between pieces — this is characteristic of artisan glass production. The 50cm diameter and layered globe arrangement give the fitting visual weight without the mass of a crystal chandelier.

The Balbo mounts to a standard UK ceiling rose via a metal backplate, with the wiring concealed inside the nickel canopy. The IP20 rating limits this to dry interior use only — avoid bathrooms, wet rooms and outdoor locations.

Frequently Asked

What bulbs does it take?

The Balbo takes eight G9 capsule bulbs, sold separately. Each lamp can be up to 28W, though most users fit LED G9 capsules in the 3-5W range for lower running costs and less heat output. Warm white (2700K-3000K) suits the cognac glass tone.

Is it dimmable?

Dimmer compatibility depends on the bulbs you fit. G9 LED capsules vary — some are dimmable, others are not. Check the bulb packaging and ensure your dimmer switch is rated for LED loads if using dimmable LEDs.

What ceiling height is needed?

The fitting projects 29.5cm from the ceiling, so a minimum room height of 2.4m is recommended to avoid the lower globes sitting below head height in circulation areas. In a dining room the fitting typically sits 700-900mm above the table surface.

Can it be used in a bathroom?

No. The IP20 rating means the fitting is not protected against moisture ingress and must only be used in dry interior spaces away from direct water contact.
