Coniston 6 Light Ring Crystal Semi-Flush Ceiling Light - French Gold

The Coniston is a 1100mm crystal ring semi-flush ceiling light built on a French gold circular frame with multiple rows of faceted crystals arranged in a toroidal (ring) structure. Eighteen E14 bulb positions sit behind and within the crystal array, lighting the crystals from the inside and creating both direct ambient illumination and refracted sparkle through the faceted surfaces.

Designed for rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or higher, the 340mm drop keeps the fitting close to the ceiling while still giving the crystal ring visual depth. The semi-flush mount makes this suitable for dining rooms, living rooms, entrance halls and bedroom ceilings where a chandelier would hang too low but a flush-mount fitting lacks presence. The 1100mm diameter suits rooms of 15-25m² where the ceiling fixture is a primary light source.

The French gold finish on the frame is a mid-tone warm gold between polished brass and antique bronze, with a low-sheen surface that reflects light without high gloss. The crystal arrangement uses multiple rows, giving the ring depth when viewed from any angle below. Each faceted crystal piece refracts light individually, so the overall effect changes depending on viewing position and the colour temperature of the bulbs installed. At 31kg, the fitting requires secure ceiling joist fixing and a reinforced ceiling rose rated for the weight.

Bulbs are sold separately. The fitting accepts eighteen E14 bulbs up to 20W each, and is dimmable when paired with dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. Most users pair this with warm-white LED bulbs between 2700K-3000K to complement the French gold tone and crystal warmth.

What bulbs does the Coniston take?

The fitting takes eighteen E14 (small Edison screw) bulbs up to 20W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users choose warm-white LED bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K-3000K to match the French gold tone.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, the Coniston is dimmable when paired with dimmable E14 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. The dimmer must be rated for the total wattage and the type of bulb installed (LED dimmers for LED bulbs, halogen dimmers for halogen).

What ceiling height is needed?

The 340mm drop from ceiling to base of the crystal ring works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or higher. The semi-flush design keeps the fitting closer to the ceiling than a suspended chandelier, making it suitable for standard UK residential ceiling heights.

How is the 31kg weight supported?

The fitting requires secure fixing into a ceiling joist or a reinforced ceiling rose rated for at least 35kg. Standard plasterboard fixings are not sufficient. Professional installation is recommended to ensure safe load-bearing capacity.
