Description
A wide, shallow drum in silver foil sits close to the ceiling here, dropped just enough on its polished chrome frame to give the shade a little air beneath it. The shade measures 60cm across, so it reads as a broad disc rather than a hanging shape, and the white laminate lining keeps the light inside it clean and bright. A frosted acrylic diffuser, edged in polished chrome, closes the underside and softens the lamps above into one even wash rather than a row of bright points.
We reach for a fitting like this in hallways, landings and bedrooms where the ceiling sits low and a pendant would only hang in the way. The width suits a generous room, so it will do the work in a good-sized sitting room or sit over a dining table without dropping into eyeline. Five E27 sockets sit behind the diffuser, and we would fit warm white LED GLS lamps in them; the light will dim where suitable lamps are paired with a compatible dimmer.
The metalwork is finished in polished chrome, bright enough to pick up the silver foil above it, and the acrylic diffuser keeps the look neutral against white ceilings. Keep the foil dry: a soft brush or a dry cloth for dust, and nothing wet or waxy near it. The diffuser can be wiped over with a barely damp cloth once the light has been off long enough to cool. It carries a one year warranty. The Baymont range goes further than this one shade, with universal drop flush and flush frames in white as well as polished chrome, compact semi flush fittings in antique brass, satin nickel and satin black, and linear pendants where a longer run is wanted. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What lamps does it take?
Five E27 lamps, up to 20W each. LED GLS lamps are the sensible choice and they are not supplied with the fitting.
How much space does it need on the ceiling?
The shade is 600mm in diameter and the fitting stands 240mm deep overall, so allow a clear circle of a little over 60cm.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided you use dimmable lamps with a compatible dimmer. No dimmer is supplied.
What are the shade and diffuser made from?
The shade is a silver leaf foil with a white laminate inner face, and the diffuser is frosted acrylic finished with polished chrome.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which keeps it to dry rooms such as bedrooms, halls and living spaces.
How should the foil shade be cleaned?
Dust it gently with a dry cloth or a soft brush only. Water, polish and sprays can mark a foil surface, so keep them away from it.
