Description
The Binessa is a flush ceiling light with a shallow dome of black steel wire, open at the base and fixed close to the ceiling on a round black canopy. It measures 45cm across and stands 20cm high, so it fills a hallway or bedroom ceiling generously without hanging into the room. It takes a single E27 bulb, which is not included, so you choose the colour and brightness of light that suits the space. Rated IP20, it belongs indoors in dry rooms, and never in a bathroom or on an outside wall.
Because it sits close to the ceiling, this black ceiling light suits rooms where a pendant would crowd the headroom: an entrance hall, a landing, a bedroom or a kitchen with a lower ceiling. The wire cage has an industrial edge without looking heavy, and the black lines sit happily against brick, painted plaster and pale timber alike. An exposed filament bulb looks good behind the open wirework, where the glowing filament becomes part of the design. Its 45cm span gives a single light point real presence in the middle of a living room or over a dining table.
The body is steel, finished in black, and the cage is formed from horizontal wire bands held by upright ribs that run from the canopy to the rim. Steel is strong and keeps its shape, which suits a fine wire design like this. It runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains and has no switch of its own, so it is switched at the wall like any standard ceiling light. As a wired-in mains light it is installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions come as a PDF download. It weighs 2.36KG, a figure worth passing to your electrician before fitting. Choose an E27 bulb with a warm tone and the wire cage looks its best whenever the light is lit.
