Coniston 12 Light Crystal Flush Ceiling Light 800mm - Antique Brass

The Coniston is an 800mm flush ceiling light carrying twelve E14 bulbs behind layered tiers of cut crystal droplets, suspended from an antique brass circular frame. The crystals are arranged in four concentric rings that cascade downward, refracting light across multiple facets when the bulbs are lit. The antique brass frame and mounting plate provide a warm metallic base that contrasts with the clear crystal while keeping the overall projection at 390mm from ceiling to lowest crystal point.

Designed for rooms with standard 2.4m ceiling heights where a pendant would hang too low, the Coniston suits dining rooms, bedrooms and hallways in period properties, traditional new-builds, and heritage conversions. The 800mm diameter provides substantial visual presence without overwhelming smaller rooms — typical installation positions include above a dining table in a 4m x 4m room, centred in a bedroom of similar dimensions, or as a feature light in a 1.8m-wide hallway. The flush mount keeps headroom clear while the crystal tiers provide decorative interest at eye level when standing.

Each crystal droplet is individually suspended on a brass-finished link, allowing the crystals to catch and refract ambient daylight as well as artificial light from the twelve bulbs. The antique brass finish carries a slight patina and tonal variation across the frame, giving a hand-finished appearance that pairs with traditional brass door furniture, aged metalwork and warm-toned interiors. At 24.3kg the fitting requires secure fixing to a joist or ceiling batten — the weight is distributed across the 800mm mounting plate rather than concentrated at a single point. Bulbs are sold separately; most users pair this with twelve warm-white E14 candle or golf ball LEDs at 4-6W each for a combined output of 48-72W.

What bulbs does the Coniston take?

The fitting takes twelve E14 small Edison screw bulbs, each rated up to 20W maximum. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users choose warm-white LED candle or golf ball bulbs at 4-6W each for a combined output of 48-72W and 2700K-3000K colour temperature.

Is it suitable for low ceilings?

Yes. The flush mount design projects 390mm from ceiling to the lowest crystal point, making it well-suited to standard 2.4m ceiling heights where a traditional chandelier would hang too low and create headroom issues.

Can the crystals be cleaned?

Yes. Each crystal droplet is individually suspended on a brass link and can be wiped with a microfibre cloth. For deeper cleaning, crystals can be removed one at a time, washed in warm water with a drop of washing-up liquid, rinsed and dried before re-hanging. Do not use abrasive cleaners or soak the brass frame.

What fixing is required for the weight?

At 24.3kg the Coniston requires secure fixing to a ceiling joist or a batten spanning multiple joists. The weight is distributed across the 800mm circular mounting plate. Standard plasterboard fixings are not sufficient — the fitting must be screwed into solid timber or concrete.
