Coniston 8 Light Crystal Semi-Flush Ceiling Light - French Gold

The Coniston is a 480mm crystal semi-flush ceiling light built around a circular French gold frame that supports multiple rows of faceted clear crystals arranged in a shallow dome. Four E14 bulb holders sit inside the crystal canopy, casting light through the layers of cut crystal to produce ambient illumination with a warm reflective glow from the gold metalwork.

Designed for living rooms, dining rooms and entrance halls with standard ceiling heights of 2.4m or above, the 270mm drop keeps the fixture close to the ceiling while still providing visual presence. The semi-flush mount means the light sits 200-270mm below the ceiling rose depending on how the suspension is adjusted, making it suitable for rooms where a full pendant would hang too low. The circular symmetry works well centred over a dining table or in the middle of a square or rectangular living room.

The French gold finish provides a warm metallic tone that sits between polished brass and antique gold, pairing comfortably with warm-toned interiors, traditional furniture and both neutral and deeper wall colours. Each faceted crystal is cut to catch and refract light at different angles, adding texture and visual depth when the light is on and maintaining decorative interest when switched off. At 9.1kg the fixture requires secure ceiling fixings into a joist or suitable reinforced mounting point.

The Coniston takes four E14 (small Edison screw) bulbs up to 20W each, sold separately. Using dimmable LED bulbs allows the light output to be adjusted from bright ambient illumination for daytime use down to softer evening ambience. The number of bulbs stated in the title (8 light) refers to the Diyas range naming convention, but this specific model takes 4 bulbs as confirmed in the specification table.

How many bulbs does the Coniston take?

This model takes 4 x E14 bulbs up to 20W each. Bulbs are sold separately. The '8 light' in the product name refers to the Diyas range designation, but the actual bulb count for this fitting is 4 as shown in the specification table.

Is the Coniston dimmable?

Yes, when paired with dimmable E14 LED bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. The fixture itself supports dimming, but you must use dimmable bulbs to achieve variable light output.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 270mm drop from ceiling to base makes this suitable for rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. The semi-flush profile sits closer to the ceiling than a full pendant, so it works in rooms where a longer drop would feel intrusive.

How is the crystal maintained?

Dust the crystals with a soft dry cloth or use a feather duster for regular cleaning. For deeper cleaning, a barely-damp microfibre cloth works, but avoid soaking the crystals or getting moisture into the electrical components. Do not use chemical sprays or polishes on the French gold frame.
