Coniston 3 Light Crystal Flush Ceiling Light - French Gold IP44

The Coniston is a 250mm flush ceiling light with cascading tiers of faceted clear crystal arranged in a rounded formation beneath a French gold canopy. Three G9 bulbs inside the crystal structure (sold separately) cast light through multiple layers of faceted glass, creating diffused sparkle and refracted patterns on surrounding surfaces. The flush mounting sits close to the ceiling with a total drop of 240mm, making it suitable for bathrooms, cloakrooms and hallways with ceiling heights of 2.2-2.4m.

Rated IP44 for moisture protection, the Coniston is suitable for bathroom zone 2 — areas outside the shower enclosure or bathtub zone where water spray may occur. The French gold finish on the metal canopy and internal frame provides a warm metallic accent that pairs with brass taps, warm-toned tiles and natural stone surfaces. The crystal tiers are arranged to allow light to escape both downwards and outwards, illuminating mirrors, vanity areas and wall tiles without creating harsh shadows.

Each crystal element is faceted to catch and refract light, so the fitting appears to change character depending on the bulb colour temperature chosen. Warm-white G9 LEDs at 2700-3000K emphasise the gold tones and create a softer ambient effect, while daylight-white bulbs at 4000K give a cleaner, brighter task light suitable for morning routines. The 3.75kg weight requires secure ceiling fixings into a joist or solid substrate — the canopy diameter is 250mm, providing adequate spread for fixing points.

Is this suitable for a bathroom?

Yes. The IP44 rating makes it suitable for bathroom zone 2, which covers areas outside the immediate shower or bath zone where water spray may occur. It is not rated for installation directly above a shower or bathtub (zone 1).

What bulbs does it take?

The Coniston requires three G9 capsule bulbs, maximum 10W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white G9 LED bulbs at 2700-3000K for bathroom lighting, though daylight-white bulbs at 4000K are also compatible for task lighting.

Can it be dimmed?

Yes, provided you fit dimmable G9 LED bulbs and connect the circuit to a compatible LED dimmer switch. Standard non-dimmable G9 LEDs will not dim and may flicker or fail if connected to a dimmer.

What ceiling height does it suit?

The 240mm drop from ceiling to lowest crystal point suits rooms with ceiling heights of 2.2m or above. In typical UK bathrooms with 2.4m ceilings, the fitting provides adequate clearance above head height while remaining visually prominent.
