Coniston 11 Light Bar Crystal Flush Ceiling Light - French Gold

The Coniston is a 700mm rectangular flush ceiling light with a French gold frame and cascading rows of clear faceted crystal droplets. Five E14 bulb fittings sit inside the frame, casting light upwards into the crystals and downwards through the layered crystal curtain. The crystals are arranged in descending rows that form a waterfall effect along the 700mm length, with each row catching and refracting light from the bulbs above.

Designed for rooms with ceiling heights from 2.4m upwards where a traditional chandelier would hang too low, the Coniston provides the decorative impact of cascading crystal in a flush-mount format. The 235mm drop from the ceiling positions the crystal curtain close enough to create ambient sparkle without intruding into head clearance. The 700mm x 300mm rectangular footprint suits dining tables, hallways, double bedrooms and formal lounges where linear proportions work better than circular or square fittings. The French gold finish pairs with warm-toned wood, cream walls and traditional interiors, while the clear crystal keeps the fitting from reading as overly ornate in more restrained spaces.

Each crystal droplet is cut with multiple facets that scatter light into prismatic reflections across ceilings and walls when the bulbs are lit. The combined weight of the crystals and metal frame totals 13.5kg, requiring secure fixing into a joist or ceiling support capable of carrying this load. The fitting is dimmable when paired with dimmable E14 LED bulbs, allowing the light output and crystal sparkle to be adjusted for different times of day or occasions. Bulbs are sold separately, with warm-white LED candle bulbs in the 2700K-3000K range providing the closest match to the French gold tone.

What bulbs does the Coniston take?

The fitting takes five E14 small Edison screw bulbs up to 20W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users choose warm-white LED candle bulbs in the 2700K-3000K range and 4-6W output to complement the French gold finish.

Is the Coniston dimmable?

Yes, when paired with dimmable E14 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. The fitting itself is passive — dimmer compatibility depends on the bulb specification you choose.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 235mm projection from the ceiling suits rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. The flush-mount design keeps the crystals close to the ceiling, making it suitable for rooms where a traditional pendant chandelier would hang too low.

How much does it weigh and what fixing is required?

The complete fitting weighs 13.5kg. This requires secure fixing into a ceiling joist or a support capable of carrying this load — standard plasterboard fixings are insufficient. If fitting into a hollow ceiling, use a joist finder and fix directly to timber, or install a spreader plate across multiple joists before mounting the backplate.
