Description
A dual faux silk drum sits tight against the ceiling here, antique gold on the outside with a ruby lining that warms the light as it falls. Below it, a frosted acrylic diffuser trimmed in polished chrome closes off the base, so the three lamps behind it read as a single soft wash rather than separate hot spots. At 40cm across, it holds the middle of a ceiling without dropping into head height.
We reach for a flush fitting like this in hallways and landings, bedrooms under a lower ceiling, and small dining rooms where a hanging shade would sit awkwardly. Rented flats and low-ceilinged cottages are where it earns its place, and it works as the only fitting in a modest room. It takes E27 lamps and dims with suitable lamps and a compatible dimmer, which makes it easy to take a bedroom from reading light down to something quieter. Warm white LED GLS lamps are what we would fit, since they let the gold and the ruby do their work.
The frame and diffuser trim are finished in polished chrome, a bright mirror-like plating that sits well with chrome switch plates and door furniture. Keep the fabric dry: a soft brush or the upholstery head of a vacuum lifts dust from the faux silk, while the chrome and the acrylic take a barely damp cloth and a dry buff afterwards. It is for dry rooms indoors, so a hallway rather than a shower room. It carries a one year warranty. The wider range runs to universal frames in white and satin nickel for shades of your own, along with linear pendants for a long table. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
How big is it?
The shade is 40cm in diameter and the fitting is 200mm deep overall, so it stays close against the ceiling line.
Which lamps does it take?
Three E27 lamps, each up to 20W. An LED GLS (A60) shape is the recommended choice and suits the diffuser well.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided you use dimmable lamps with a compatible dimmer. A dimmer is not supplied with the fitting.
What is the shade made from?
It is a dual-layer faux silk drum, antique gold on the outer face with a ruby inner, finished at the base with a frosted acrylic diffuser and a polished chrome trim.
How should I clean the fabric?
Dust it with a soft brush or a vacuum upholstery head and keep water away from the faux silk. The chrome and acrylic can be wiped with a barely damp cloth, then dried.
