Description
A broad drum shade sits tight under the ceiling here, dressed in faux silk with an antique gold outer face and a ruby lining that warms everything passing through it. Underneath, a frosted acrylic diffuser edged in polished chrome closes the base, softening the five E27 lamps held inside so the light arrives as a wash rather than in bright points. At 60cm across it is a generous disc, wide enough to hold a room on its own.
We would fit this where a hanging pendant is out of the question: a landing, a hallway with a low ceiling, a bedroom where the bed sits directly beneath, or a dining room in a flat with modest head height. There is plenty of output for a main room, and it will dim if you pair suitable lamps with a compatible dimmer. Pear-shaped GLS lamps in LED suit it best, up to 20W apiece, and they keep the diffuser evenly lit.
The frame is polished chrome and wants an earthed supply, as metal-bodied fittings of this sort do. Keep it looking right by dusting the faux silk with a soft brush now and then, and giving the chrome and the acrylic a wipe with a barely damp cloth once the power is off at the wall and the lamps have gone cold. It carries a one year warranty. The Baymont range runs wider than this one piece: we also stock the bare drop flush and semi flush frames in polished chrome, white, antique brass, satin nickel and satin black, plus linear pendants for longer tables, so a plainer frame to take your own shade is easy to find alongside it. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
How far does it drop below the ceiling?
The overall height is 240mm, with the body accounting for 220mm of that, so it sits close enough for rooms with limited head height while still reading as a proper drum shade.
What lamps does it take, and how many?
Five E27 lamps. We would choose LED GLS A60 pear shapes, rated no higher than 20W each.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided you use dimmable lamps and a dimmer matched to them. No dimmer is supplied with the fitting.
What is the shade made of?
A dual faux silk shade in antique gold with a ruby lining, closed at the base by a frosted acrylic diffuser held in a polished chrome ring.
How should I clean the faux silk?
A soft brush or the upholstery attachment of a vacuum on its lowest setting, worked in one direction. Avoid sprays and damp cloths on the fabric; save those for the chrome and the acrylic.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is rated for dry rooms only, so keep it to hallways, bedrooms, living and dining rooms.
