Description
The Carabel is a 521mm semi-flush ceiling light with three E27 bulb fittings housed within a double-layered shade structure: an outer drum of pierced metal scrollwork in brushed champagne, and inner ivory linen panels that diffuse the light. The metalwork is cut with a repeating scroll pattern that casts shadow detail onto the ceiling and surrounding walls when lit, while the linen panels soften the direct glare from the bulbs.
Designed for rooms with ceiling heights between 2.4m and 2.7m where a full pendant would hang too low, the Carabel sits 381mm proud of the ceiling, positioning the light source close enough to provide functional illumination without dominating the vertical space. The fixture suits dining rooms, hallways, bedrooms and living rooms where a decorative ceiling light is needed but a chandelier or long-drop pendant is impractical. The three E27 sockets accept any standard Edison screw bulb up to 60W each, giving flexibility to choose LED, halogen or filament bulbs and light temperatures between 2200K and 4000K depending on the room's purpose.
The brushed champagne finish on the metal frame has a warm, low-sheen tone that sits between pale gold and aged brass, pairing comfortably with cream, beige, taupe and warm grey interiors. The scroll pattern is cut rather than embossed, so the metalwork is open to the air and allows heat from the bulbs to dissipate naturally. The ivory linen inner shades are sewn panels stretched over internal metal frames, providing a soft textile contrast to the harder metal outer drum. The combined metal and linen construction gives the fitting a 4.2kg weight, requiring a standard UK ceiling rose rated for semi-flush mounts.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Carabel take?
The Carabel has three E27 (Edison screw) sockets, each rated up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this fitting with three warm-white LED bulbs between 6W and 10W and 2700K-3000K for ambient room lighting.
Is it suitable for low ceilings?
The 381mm fitting height makes the Carabel suitable for standard UK ceiling heights of 2.4m and above. In rooms with ceilings below 2.4m the fitting may feel visually heavy, though it will still provide functional light.
Can the metal scrollwork be cleaned?
Yes. The pierced metal outer drum can be wiped with a dry microfibre cloth to remove dust. For stubborn marks, a barely-damp cloth is acceptable, but avoid soaking the linen inner panels and do not use chemical cleaners or polishes on the brushed champagne finish.
Is the Carabel dimmable?
Dimmer compatibility depends on the bulbs used. If you fit dimmable LED bulbs, the Carabel can be used with a compatible LED dimmer switch. Check the bulb packaging for dimmer compatibility before pairing with a dimmer.
