Coniston 15 Light Crystal Ring Semi-Flush Ceiling Light - Antique Brass

The Coniston is a 950mm diameter crystal ring semi-flush ceiling light with a circular antique brass frame supporting concentric rows of hand-faceted crystal strands. Fifteen E14 bulb positions are distributed around the inner and outer rings of the frame, casting light both through the crystal elements and up toward the ceiling to create ambient illumination and visible sparkle.

Designed for dining rooms, entrance halls and principal bedrooms with ceiling heights of 2.4-2.7m, the 340mm drop from ceiling to base keeps the fitting within reach for bulb changes whilst avoiding head clearance issues in standard-height rooms. The semi-flush mount projects less than pendant equivalents whilst retaining decorative presence across medium to large spaces up to 25m². The ring structure distributes light evenly without a central void, making it effective over round or rectangular dining tables.

Each crystal element is cut with multiple facets that refract light into the room when bulbs are lit, and catch natural daylight when switched off. The antique brass finish uses a darker, warmer tone than polished brass, sitting comfortably in rooms with wood furniture, terracotta, deep paint colours and heritage interiors. At 24kg the fitting requires secure ceiling fixing into a joist or noggin rather than plasterboard alone — see installation guidance or consult a qualified electrician before fitting.

The fixture accepts dimmable E14 bulbs up to 20W per socket (sold separately). Most users pair the Coniston with warm-white LED candle or golf-ball bulbs at 4-6W and 2700K to balance energy efficiency with the warm tone of the antique brass. Fitting all fifteen sockets provides full ambient light; fewer bulbs can be used if softer illumination is preferred, though leaving sockets empty may create visible gaps in the crystal pattern.

What ceiling height is needed for the Coniston?

The 340mm drop suits ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. In rooms below 2.4m the fitting will sit lower in the space but remains functional — check headroom around doorways and circulation routes before installation.

What bulbs are recommended?

The Coniston takes fifteen E14 bulbs up to 20W each. Warm-white LED candle or golf-ball bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K pair well with the antique brass finish. Dimmable bulbs are required if using with a dimmer switch.

Can fewer than 15 bulbs be used?

Yes, but leaving sockets empty may create visible gaps in the light pattern. The fixture performs best with all fifteen bulbs fitted to achieve even illumination across the crystal rows.

How is the crystal cleaned?

Switch off and allow bulbs to cool. Remove dust with a soft dry cloth or feather duster. For fingerprints or marks, lightly dampen a microfibre cloth with distilled water and wipe gently, then dry immediately. Avoid household sprays or chemical cleaners on both crystal and brass.
