Description
A wide drum shade in faux silk sits close to the ceiling here, with a frosted acrylic diffuser closing the underside so the lamps are never in direct view. The shade measures 50cm across, which gives it real presence without dropping down into the room. Light passes through the diffuser as a soft wash downward, and the sides carry a gentle glow. Three E27 lamps sit behind it, and the fitting will dim where you pair suitable lamps with a compatible dimmer switch.
We reach for this where a pendant would hang too low: a hallway with a stair turn, a bedroom with a plain ceiling, or a landing that wants even light rather than one bright pool. The broad diffuser suits a sitting room used mostly in the evening, and it earns its place over a dining table where headroom is tight. Anyone furnishing a flat with standard ceiling heights gets the shade and the fitting in one piece, which keeps the ceiling looking calm.
The shade brings together black and white laminate with a faux silk facing, and the dark face is what reads from the room. Each lamp takes up to 20W, and an LED GLS is what we would fit. To keep it looking well, turn the power off and let the lamps go cold, then lift the dust from the faux silk with a soft brush and wipe the acrylic with a barely damp cloth. It carries a one year warranty. The wider range runs to linear pendants and single light semi flush fittings in polished chrome, antique brass and satin nickel, so adjoining rooms can be kept in step. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
How far does it drop from the ceiling?
It stands 200mm deep, so it hugs the ceiling and stays clear of doorways and stair headroom.
What lamps should I use?
Three E27 lamps, each up to 20W. An LED GLS in the A60 shape is the sensible choice and sits neatly behind the diffuser.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided you use dimmable lamps with a matching dimmer switch. Neither the lamps nor a dimmer come with it.
Is the shade fabric or plastic?
Both. The outer shade is a faux silk facing over black and white laminate, and the flat panel underneath is frosted acrylic.
Will it suit a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which keeps it to dry rooms such as bedrooms, halls and living rooms.
How wide is it, and how heavy?
The shade is 500mm in diameter and the whole fitting weighs 1.9kg.
