Description
The Coniston is a 480mm semi-flush ceiling light built around a polished chrome circular frame with eight E14 bulb fittings hidden beneath cascading rows of faceted crystal droplets. The crystal layers hang from the chrome ring in concentric tiers, creating a dome-shaped cascade that diffuses and refracts light from the bulbs above. The semi-flush mounting positions the fitting 270mm below the ceiling, making it suitable for rooms with ceiling heights of 2.3m or above where a full pendant would sit too low.
Designed for hallways, dining rooms, bedrooms and living rooms that need decorative ambient lighting without requiring high ceilings, the Coniston distributes light across a wide horizontal area rather than directing it downwards in a focused beam. The eight E14 bulbs (sold separately) sit above the crystal cascade, so their light passes through and around the faceted droplets before entering the room. The polished chrome finish on the frame and ceiling canopy reflects both natural and artificial light, adding brightness to the fitting itself.
Each crystal droplet is individually faceted and hung on a wire link, so the entire dome structure has a slight flex and movement when air circulates in the room. The combined weight of the chrome frame and crystal cascade is 9.1kg, requiring a secure ceiling fixing into a joist or a reinforced ceiling rose. The polished chrome finish has a mirror-like reflective quality that pairs with cooler-toned interiors, contemporary kitchens and bathrooms (where ceiling-mounted rather than recessed), and traditional spaces that favour glass and metal over brass.
The Coniston is dimmable when paired with dimmable E14 LED or halogen bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. Most users pair this fitting with warm-white 2700K-3000K LED candle bulbs between 4-6W to balance the cool chrome with warmer light temperature.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Coniston take?
The fitting takes eight E14 (small Edison screw) bulbs up to 20W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users fit warm-white LED candle bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K-3000K to balance the cool chrome with warmer light temperature.
Is it suitable for low ceilings?
Yes. The 270mm drop from ceiling to base makes the Coniston suitable for rooms with ceiling heights of 2.3m or above. It provides decorative impact without the drop required by a full pendant light.
Is the Coniston dimmable?
Yes, when paired with dimmable E14 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. The fitting itself is passive — dimming depends entirely on the bulbs and control circuit chosen.
How is the crystal maintained?
Wipe individual crystal droplets with a dry microfibre cloth while the power is off and the bulbs have cooled. For stubborn marks, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water is acceptable. Avoid household sprays and do not soak the chrome frame or electrical components.
