Description
The Cirbette is a flush ceiling light built around a long wooden beam, held in black steel brackets and fixed to the ceiling by a black plate. It measures 65.5cm long, 10cm wide and 4.5cm high, so it sits close to the ceiling rather than hanging down into the room. Three E27 lampholders drop from the brackets, each taking a bulb of up to 40W; the bulbs are not included, which leaves the choice with you. It is rated IP20, so it is made for indoor rooms that stay dry.
Because it keeps so close to the ceiling, this black and brown flush ceiling light suits rooms where a pendant would eat into the head height, such as a living room, a study, a bedroom or a hallway. Its long, narrow shape spreads light along a line instead of from a single point, which we think works well over a sideboard, a run of shelving or a dining table. The warm brown wood and black steel give it an easy, workshop look that sits comfortably beside timber furniture and plain painted walls. With three bulbs spaced along its length, the light comes from several points along the ceiling rather than one.
The construction is on show: the black steel brackets clasp the wood with round bolt heads left visible, a black steel strip runs along the top edge, and the ceiling plate sits at the centre. There is no switch on the light, so it is turned on and off from the wall switch. As a mains light that is hard-wired, it is installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions come as a download. It weighs 1.453KG packed. Because the bulbs hang bare beneath the beam, the bulb you choose becomes part of the look, so pick E27 bulbs of 40W or less in a shape and colour that suits the room.

Frequently Asked
Can I fit the Cirbette in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which means it is made for indoor rooms that stay dry, so we would keep it out of bathrooms and away from outdoor spaces.
Are bulbs included?
No, the bulbs are not included. It takes three E27 bulbs, each of up to 40W, so you can choose the shape and colour of light that suits your room.
How big is the Cirbette flush ceiling light?
It is 65.5cm long, 10cm wide and 4.5cm high, so it sits close to the ceiling and suits rooms where a hanging light would eat into the head height.
Does the light have its own switch?
No, there is no switch on the light itself. It is turned on and off at the wall switch, so there is no pull cord or button on the fitting.
