Description
A wide drum shade sits close under the ceiling here, finished in antique gold faux silk with a ruby lining that warms the light passing through it. The frame is polished chrome, and a frosted acrylic diffuser closes the base so the lamp is never in direct view. At 60cm across it reads as a large fitting, with an overall drop of 42cm that keeps it well clear of head height. The shade is deep enough to give the fitting real presence without pulling far away from the ceiling line.
We would put it in a dining room over a table, or in a hallway or bedroom where a pendant would hang too low for comfort. Light travels down through the diffuser and out through the fabric, so the effect is soft rather than pinpointed. It suits a room where you want the ceiling to stay uncluttered but still want something with size to it. It takes an E27 lamp, and an LED GLS is what we reach for, rated to no more than 20W. Dimming is possible with a compatible lamp and dimmer, neither of which comes with the fitting.
The shade is made as a dual layer, gold on the outside and ruby within, and the chrome is polished to a bright, even finish. Dust the fabric with a soft brush and wipe the metalwork with a barely damp cloth, drying it off straight after. Keep it to dry rooms indoors on a household supply. It carries a one year warranty. The wider Baymont range runs to universal flush and semi flush fittings and linear pendants in antique brass, satin nickel and satin black, useful if you are matching fittings across rooms. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
How far does it hang below the ceiling?
The full height is 420mm, with the metal body accounting for 220mm of that, so it stays close to the ceiling for a fitting of this width.
What lamp should I use?
One E27 lamp, ideally an LED in the GLS A60 shape, at up to 20W.
Is it dimmable?
Yes, provided you pair it with a dimmable lamp and a compatible dimmer switch. No dimmer is supplied.
What is the shade made from?
A dual layer faux silk, antique gold on the outer face with a ruby lining, over a frosted acrylic diffuser at the base.
How wide is it, and will it suit a small room?
It measures 600mm in diameter, which is generous. In a compact room the width can dominate, so it is better suited to dining rooms, larger landings and bedrooms.
How do I clean the faux silk?
A soft brush or the upholstery attachment on a vacuum, used gently. Avoid water and sprays on the fabric.
