Description
A wide drum shade in grey faux silk sits close to the ceiling, with a frosted acrylic diffuser closing the underside so light spreads across the room rather than pooling directly below. The shade measures 50cm across and 20cm deep, and its lining is a grey and white laminate that keeps the glow clean and bright. Behind it sit five E27 lampholders, which is a good deal of output for a single ceiling point. Given suitable lamps and a dimmer, it will dim.
It is a fitting we reach for where a pendant would hang too low and a small flush fitting would not do enough: a hallway with a modest ceiling, a wide landing, a bedroom where the fitting sits over the bed, or a dining room you want to keep clear overhead. It works well in a large sitting room too. We would fit warm white LED GLS lamps for a settled, even light; cooler lamps read sharper if the room is a kitchen diner. Grey reads as a quiet neutral, so it sits happily against white or off white walls.
The shade is faux silk with a laminate lining, and the diffuser panel is frosted acrylic, so the fitting stays light for its size. Care is quick: turn the power off, brush the fabric down with a soft dusting brush, and wipe the acrylic with a barely damp cloth, drying it before you switch back on. Keep it to dry indoor rooms; a bathroom or a porch is not the place for it. It carries a one year warranty. We also stock the same universal fixture in smaller diameters and in plate finishes including polished chrome, antique brass and satin nickel, along with linear pendant versions for a row of shades. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What lamps does it take, and what is the maximum wattage?
It takes five E27 lamps, each rated to a maximum of 20W. LED GLS (A60) lamps are the recommended choice.
How far does it drop from the ceiling?
The fitting is 200mm deep overall, so it stays tight to the ceiling and suits rooms where headroom is tight.
Is it dimmable?
Yes, with dimmable lamps and a compatible dimmer. No dimmer is supplied.
How wide is the shade?
It is 500mm in diameter, so allow a clear circle of that size around the ceiling point.
How do I clean the fabric shade and the diffuser?
Switch off at the wall first. Use a soft dusting brush or a low-suction vacuum brush on the faux silk, and a barely damp cloth on the frosted acrylic, dried off before the power goes back on. Avoid solvents and sprays.
What is it made from?
A faux silk shade with a grey and white laminate lining, and a frosted acrylic diffuser across the base. The whole fitting weighs about 2kg.
