Chateau 2 Light Semi-Flush Ceiling Light - Mocha Bronze

The Chateau is a 392mm semi-flush ceiling light built around a decorative steel frame finished in mocha bronze, with hand-forged scrollwork forming a crown above an amber-toned bowl diffuser. Cut crystal droplets hang from the scrollwork and from a central finial beneath the bowl, catching ambient and direct light. The fitting takes two E27 bulbs (sold separately), each up to 60W, housed within the bowl to cast both upward ambient light and downward task light through the glass.

Designed for rooms with ceiling heights between 2.3m and 2.7m where a chandelier would hang too low, the Chateau sits 334mm below the ceiling rose, making it suitable for hallways, dining rooms, living rooms and bedrooms needing a decorative focal point without losing headroom. The semi-flush format directs light both upward onto the ceiling (creating reflected ambient light) and downward through the amber glass bowl, which softens the light and reduces glare from the bare bulbs.

The mocha bronze finish combines a dark base tone with lighter bronze overtones showing through on raised details and scroll edges, creating a multi-tonal surface that reads differently under daylight and artificial light. The crystal accents are facet-cut to refract light into small prismatic highlights when the bulbs are on. The steel frame is hand-formed rather than cast, giving each scroll a slightly varied profile, and the amber glass bowl has a gentle ripple texture that diffuses the light without hiding the bulb positions.

The fitting mounts to a standard UK ceiling rose via a circular backplate concealed by the upper scrollwork. The 392mm diameter makes it proportionate to dining tables in the 120-180cm range or hallways 900mm-1200mm wide. Pairing the Chateau with warm-white filament-style LED bulbs (2700K) maintains the period aesthetic while keeping running costs low.

What bulbs does the Chateau take?

The fitting takes two E27 (Edison screw) bulbs, each up to 60W maximum. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED filament bulbs (2700K-3000K, 6-8W equivalent to 40-60W incandescent) to maintain the period aesthetic while keeping energy costs low.

What ceiling height is needed?

The fitting projects 334mm below the ceiling rose, making it suitable for rooms with ceiling heights between 2.3m and 2.7m. In rooms with 2.4m ceilings, the lowest point (the crystal finial) sits approximately 2.07m from the floor, well above head height in most residential applications.

Is the Chateau dimmable?

Dimmer compatibility depends on the bulbs used. Standard E27 LED bulbs marked as 'dimmable' will work with most trailing-edge dimmers. Check the bulb packaging for dimmer compatibility before pairing with a dimmer switch.

How is the crystal maintained?

The crystal droplets can be wiped with a dry microfibre cloth while the bulbs are off and cool. For deeper cleaning, remove individual crystals by unhooking them from their wire loops, wash in warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly before re-attaching. Do not spray cleaning solution directly onto the fitting.
