Description
Five E27 lampholders sit on a single round plate that holds close to the ceiling, spreading light in a cluster rather than dropping it down on a rod. The plate measures 28cm across and is finished in polished chrome, bright and mirror-like. It is sold as a bare frame so you pick the shades yourself, and it accepts a wide selection of them, from small drums and coolies to glass. We would put LED GLS lamps in the holders here. The shade and the lamp are not included; see our lamp shades.
A semi flush fitting like this one earns its keep where a pendant would hang too low: hallways and landings, bedrooms, or a small dining room with a standard ceiling height. Because the light comes from several points rather than one, it spreads evenly across a room, which suits general lighting better than a task spot. It can be dimmed where both the lamps and the dimmer switch are suited to it, so it copes with bright mornings and quieter evenings from the same switch. Indoor rooms only, on ordinary household mains.
The polished chrome holds its shine with little effort: a dry duster now and then, and if fingermarks appear while you are changing shades, a barely damp cloth followed by a dry buff will lift them, with the power off and the lamps cold. Avoid sprays and cream cleaners, which dull a bright finish quickly. It carries a one year warranty. Elsewhere in the range there are single-light semi flush fittings in antique brass, satin nickel, satin black and this same chrome, drop flush versions on a rod, and linear pendants for hanging over a table. Because the frame is universal, it is also a sensible way to reuse shades you already like.

Frequently Asked
How many shades will I need?
The shade is not supplied - pick one from our lamp shades. Five, one for each E27 lampholder. Small drums, coolies and glass shades all work, so long as they are sized to sit clear of one another on a 28cm plate.
What lamps should I use?
LED GLS lamps in the A60 shape with an E27 cap, up to 20W each.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided you fit dimmable lamps and pair them with a dimmer switch rated for the load.
How wide and deep is it?
The plate is 280mm in diameter and the fitting stands 330mm from the ceiling before shades are added.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, so keep it to dry rooms away from splashes and steam.
How do I clean the chrome?
Switch off at the wall, let everything cool, then dust with a dry cloth. A slightly damp cloth and a dry buff will deal with fingermarks.
