Description
A wide drum shade in black faux silk sits close to the ceiling here, lined in a black and white laminate that pushes light back down through a frosted acrylic diffuser. The E27 lampholders are hidden behind that diffuser, so what you see is one broad, even glow rather than a row of bright points. At 50cm across it is a generous circle, and the shallow body keeps the whole thing tucked up tight.
We reach for a fitting like this in rooms where a pendant would hang too low: a living room with a standard ceiling, a bedroom, a wide landing, or a hallway that needs proper light rather than a token glimmer. Five lampholders give plenty of output for a main room, and with suitable lamps and a compatible dimmer on the circuit the level can be taken down for the evening. Our own choice here would be LED GLS A60 lamps, which sit neatly within the frame and keep the running cost low.
The shade is fabric over a laminate lining, the diffuser frosted acrylic, and the fitting is a Class 1 design requiring an earth connection. Keep it to dry rooms indoors; a shower room or an open porch asks for something sealed instead. When it needs attention, drop the diffuser out, rinse the dust from it and let it dry fully before it goes back, and give the fabric no more than a light going over with a soft brush. It carries a one year warranty. Elsewhere in the Baymont range there are smaller flush and semi flush frames in white, polished chrome, antique brass and satin nickel, along with linear pendants for hanging over a long table, so a whole house can be worked out in one family of fittings. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What size is this ceiling light?
It measures 500mm in diameter and 200mm deep, so it covers a broad area of ceiling while staying close to it.
Which lamps does it take, and how many?
Five E27 lamps, each rated to a maximum of 20W. LED GLS A60 lamps are the sensible choice. They are supplied separately.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided you fit dimmable lamps and a dimmer switch matched to them. No dimmer is supplied with the fitting.
What is the shade made from?
A faux silk outer with a black and white laminate lining, over a metal frame, with a frosted acrylic diffuser beneath.
How should the fabric shade be cleaned?
A soft brush or a gentle vacuum on low suction lifts dust from the weave. Avoid water and sprays on the fabric; the acrylic diffuser can be rinsed separately.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20 and belongs in dry rooms such as living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and landings.
