Description
A broad, shallow disc of frosted opal white glass sits in a satin nickel frame, with a swirl pattern worked into the glass so the light spreads softly and the lamps stay hidden. At 56cm across it fills a ceiling properly rather than looking like a small utility fitting, and the shallow depth keeps it tight to the ceiling. Behind the diffuser sit four E14 sockets, spaced wide enough that the glass glows evenly instead of showing hot spots. We would fit LED golf ball lamps and forget about them for years.
It is the sort of light we reach for where a pendant would hang too low: hallways and landings, bedrooms, a box room, a kitchen or small dining room with a modest ceiling height. One broad diffuser doing the work of several table lamps gives a calm, even light with no glare to walk under, and each socket takes up to 40W so there is plenty of output on tap. Put it on a dimmer if you like, though the lamps themselves need to be dimmable ones for that to work. Keep it to dry rooms; a shower room or an open porch wants something rated for wet conditions instead.
Glass and metal only, so there is nothing to fade or fray. The satin nickel has a low satin sheen that forgives fingerprints in a way polished chrome never does, and the opal white glass keeps its colour under warm and cool lamps alike. To clean, cut the power and give the lamps a few minutes, then wipe the glass with a barely damp cloth and dry it off; the metal only ever needs dusting. It carries a one year warranty. Lamps are not included, so add a set of golf ball E14s to your basket.

Frequently Asked
What lamps does it take, and how many?
Four E14 small screw lamps, each up to 40W. Golf ball shaped LEDs are the sensible choice here, as they sit neatly behind the glass.
How big is it?
It is 56cm in diameter with a height of 29cm, so it covers a good area of ceiling while staying shallow.
Can I dim it?
Yes, on a compatible dimmer, provided the four lamps you fit are dimmable versions. Non-dimmable LEDs will flicker or buzz on a dimmer circuit.
Is the glass clear or opaque?
It is frosted opal white with a swirl pattern pressed into it, so you see a soft glow rather than the lamps themselves.
How should I clean the glass?
Turn the power off and let the lamps cool, then use a barely damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive creams and solvent sprays, which can dull the frosting and the nickel.
Will it work in a bathroom?
No. It is rated for dry indoor rooms only, so choose a fitting with a suitable moisture rating for bathrooms and outdoor areas.
