Coniston 18 Light Ring Crystal Semi-Flush Ceiling Light - Antique Brass

The Coniston is an 800mm diameter crystal semi-flush ceiling light with 18 x E14 bulb fittings arranged in a circular frame finished in antique brass. The fixture sits 340mm below the ceiling, making it a semi-flush rather than a close-to-ceiling flush mount. Multiple tiers of faceted clear crystal beads hang from the frame, forming a dense ring of crystal that refracts light in all directions when the bulbs are lit.

Designed for dining rooms, living rooms and entrance halls with ceiling heights between 2.4m and 3m, the Coniston provides both ambient room lighting and decorative impact. The semi-flush profile means it works in spaces where a full drop pendant would hang too low, but where a flush mount would lack presence. The 800mm diameter suits rooms of 15-25m², and the antique brass finish softens the metallic tone compared to polished brass or chrome, pairing comfortably with warm-toned interiors and traditional or transitional decor.

Each tier of crystal beads is strung on a separate ring, creating depth and layering when viewed from below. The faceted cut on the crystals splits and refracts the light from the 18 bulbs, producing sparkle and soft scatter rather than hard directional light. The fitting is dimmable when paired with dimmable E14 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch, allowing the intensity to be adjusted for evening dining or daytime ambient use. At 19.6kg the fixture requires secure ceiling fixings and is not suitable for plasterboard ceilings without additional support.

What bulbs does the Coniston take?

The fitting takes 18 x E14 (small Edison screw) bulbs, each up to 20W maximum. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED candle bulbs at 4-6W and 2700K-3000K for dining and living room use.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, when paired with dimmable E14 LED bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. Non-dimmable bulbs will not dim and may flicker or fail if used with a dimmer.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 340mm drop from ceiling to base suits rooms with ceiling heights between 2.4m and 3m. In lower-ceilinged rooms the fitting may feel dominant; in very high-ceilinged rooms a drop pendant may be more appropriate.

Does it need special ceiling fixings?

At 19.6kg the Coniston requires secure ceiling fixings into joists or a reinforced ceiling rose. It is not suitable for direct fixing into plasterboard without additional support. Professional installation is recommended.
