Cara 3 Light Crystal Semi-Flush Ceiling Light - Satin Nickel

The Cara is a 3-light crystal semi-flush ceiling light with a satin nickel frame and three globe shades formed from linked octagon crystals. The three curved arms radiate from a central ceiling mount, each terminating in a G9 bulb socket enclosed within a crystal globe. The semi-flush design sits 220mm below the ceiling, making it suitable for rooms with standard ceiling heights from 2.4m upwards.

Designed for bedrooms, compact living rooms, hallways and landings where ceiling height restricts the use of larger pendants, the Cara provides both ambient and decorative light. The 470mm diameter covers a similar area to a traditional 3-bulb ceiling rose but adds the light-refracting quality of cut crystal. The octagon crystal links create prismatic effects when lit, casting soft patterns on surrounding walls and ceilings. The satin nickel finish provides a cool metallic contrast to the clear crystal and pairs well with contemporary interiors using grey, white, or cooler-toned palettes.

The three arms are arranged in a symmetrical triangle when viewed from below, giving the fitting a structured appearance rather than a random cluster. Each globe holds a G9 bulb up to 33W (bulbs sold separately), and the fitting is dimmable when paired with dimmable G9 LED or halogen bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. The combined weight of 1.7kg requires fixing to a standard UK ceiling rose with appropriate fixings for plasterboard or masonry depending on ceiling construction.

What bulbs does the Cara take?

The Cara requires three G9 capsule bulbs, each up to 33W maximum. Bulbs are not included. Most users pair this with G9 LED bulbs between 2.5W and 4W in warm white (2700K-3000K) for ambient bedroom or living room lighting.

Is it suitable for low ceilings?

Yes. The 220mm drop from ceiling to base makes this a good choice for rooms with ceiling heights from 2.4m upwards where a longer pendant would hang too low. The semi-flush design provides clearance above head height in typical residential spaces.

Is the Cara dimmable?

Yes, when paired with dimmable G9 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. The fitting itself is dimmable-compatible; the dimming function depends on the bulbs you install and the type of dimmer in the circuit.

How is the crystal cleaned?

Switch off the power and allow bulbs to cool. Wipe the octagon crystal links with a dry microfibre cloth. For stubborn marks, a barely-damp cloth is acceptable, but avoid soaking the crystals or using spray cleaners, which can leave residue between the linked facets.
