Coniston 8 Light Crystal Flush Ceiling Light - Antique Brass IP44

The Coniston is a 450mm crystal flush ceiling light built around an antique brass canopy and eight G9 bulb fittings arranged across multiple tiers of faceted clear crystal. The crystals hang in overlapping rows that taper from the ceiling plate down to a single crystal drop at the base, forming a rounded dome approximately 440mm deep. Each tier contains between 20 and 30 individual crystal elements, giving the fitting a substantial presence while maintaining a flush profile that suits ceilings from 2.4m upwards.

Rated IP44 for bathroom zone 2 installation, the Coniston provides splash-resistant protection suitable for positions away from direct shower spray and above 2.25m from the bath or shower tray. The eight G9 fittings accept capsule LED bulbs up to 10W each (bulbs sold separately), delivering distributed light across the crystal mass. Dimmable when paired with dimmable G9 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch, allowing output to be adjusted from bright task lighting during morning routines to softer ambient light for evening bathing.

The antique brass finish carries a warm, slightly aged patina that differentiates it from polished or brushed brass — the metal has deliberate tonal variation rather than a uniform shine. This pairs naturally with traditional bathroom schemes using marble, heritage tiles, freestanding baths and period-style brassware, while the crystal arrangement adds decorative weight without overpowering smaller bathrooms. The 450mm diameter fits comfortably in bathrooms from 3m x 2.5m upwards, and the 13.2kg weight requires secure ceiling fixings into a joist or noggin rather than plasterboard alone.

The faceted crystals refract light across bathroom surfaces, multiplying the effect of the eight bulbs and creating movement when the air circulates or the door opens. The Coniston works as a primary ceiling light in bathrooms, ensuites and dressing rooms where ceiling height allows the 440mm drop, and where a decorative fitting is preferred over recessed downlights or simple flush glass fittings.

What bathroom zone is this suitable for?

The IP44 rating makes the Coniston suitable for bathroom zone 2, which covers areas 60cm beyond the bath or shower perimeter and above 2.25m from the floor. It is not rated for zone 0 (inside the bath/shower) or zone 1 (directly above the bath/shower to 2.25m height).

What bulbs does it take and are they included?

The Coniston takes eight G9 capsule bulbs up to 10W each. Bulbs are not included. Most users pair this with warm-white LED G9 capsules rated 3-5W and 2700K-3000K for bathroom use.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, when fitted with dimmable G9 LED bulbs and connected to a compatible LED dimmer switch. Non-dimmable bulbs will operate at full brightness only.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 440mm drop from ceiling plate to base crystal suits bathrooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. In lower-ceiling bathrooms the fixture may feel visually heavy, though it remains functional if there is adequate headroom beneath.
