Description
A shallow drum shade in dual faux silk sits close against the ceiling on a polished chrome frame, its nude beige outer face paired with a paler moonlight lining. A frosted diffuser closes the underside, so the lamps read as one even wash of light rather than separate hot spots. At 40cm across it covers a good area of ceiling while keeping its depth modest, which is rather the point of a flush fitting.
We would put this in a hallway, on a landing or in a bedroom where headroom is tight and a pendant would hang into the way. It holds three E27 lamps, and we would fit warm white GLS-shaped LEDs for the softest result through the fabric and the glass. With suitable lamps and a dimmer on the circuit it will dim, which suits a bedroom last thing at night. The neutral beige sits happily against magnolia, off-white and pale grey walls, so it works in a rented flat as readily as in a house mid-redecoration.
The shade is fabric over a metal frame, and the polished chrome carries a bright mirror sheen that picks up daylight from a window or a stairwell. Keep the fabric fresh with a soft brush or the upholstery nozzle of a vacuum on its lowest setting, and give the metalwork an occasional wipe with a barely damp cloth, power off and the lamps cold. It belongs in dry rooms indoors rather than bathrooms or covered porches. It carries a one year warranty. The wider range runs to universal flush and semi-flush fittings and linear pendants in antique brass, satin nickel, satin black and white, so you can match this or set it against something else along the same route. Lamps are sold separately.

Frequently Asked
What size lamps does it take?
Three E27 lamps, each up to 20W. GLS A60 LED lamps are the recommended choice and give the most even spread behind the frosted diffuser.
How far does it drop from the ceiling?
The body stands 200mm deep, with a diameter of 400mm, so it stays well clear of head height in a hallway or a loft conversion.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided you use dimmable lamps and a compatible dimmer on the circuit. Neither the lamps nor a dimmer are supplied.
How do I clean the faux silk shade?
Dust it with a soft brush or a vacuum upholstery nozzle at low suction. Avoid sprays and solvents on the fabric, and never clean it wet.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms, so keep it away from showers, baths and steam.
How heavy is it?
It weighs 1.5kg, which is light for a fitting of this diameter.
