Coniston 8 Light Ring Crystal Semi-Flush Ceiling Light - Antique Brass

The Coniston is a 480mm semi-flush ceiling light built around an antique brass circular frame holding eight E14 lamp holders, each surrounded by cascading rows of faceted clear crystal droplets. The crystals form a dense, layered dome that sits 270mm below the ceiling rose, refracting light from the bulbs into scattered points across the room when lit.

Designed for living rooms, dining rooms and entrance halls with ceiling heights between 2.4m and 2.7m, the Coniston provides both ambient light and decorative presence without dropping as low as a full pendant. The semi-flush mounting keeps the fitting closer to the ceiling than a chandelier while still allowing the crystal rows to catch light. The 480mm diameter suits rooms between 12-18m² where a single central fitting provides primary lighting.

The antique brass finish shows subtle darkening and tonal variation across the frame, giving the metalwork a warmer, less reflective appearance than polished brass. This pairs well with traditional interiors, warm-toned colour schemes, dark wood furniture and rooms where polished chrome or nickel would feel too clinical. At 9.1kg the fitting requires secure ceiling fixings rated for the weight, and the crystal rows need occasional dusting with a soft brush to maintain clarity.

The fixture takes eight E14 bulbs (sold separately) up to 20W each, and is compatible with dimmable LED bulbs when paired with a suitable dimmer switch. Most users fit warm-white LEDs between 2700K and 3000K to complement the antique brass tone and create ambient rather than task lighting.

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 pair this with warm-white LED candle bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K-3000K for ambient lighting that complements the antique brass finish.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, when fitted with dimmable E14 bulbs and paired with a compatible dimmer switch. Check your dimmer is rated for LED bulbs if using LED lamps, as older incandescent-only dimmers may cause flickering.

What ceiling height does it suit?

The 270mm drop from ceiling to base of the crystals works best in rooms with ceiling heights between 2.4m and 2.7m. In lower ceilings the fitting may feel visually heavy; in higher ceilings a full pendant with a longer drop may suit better.

How is the crystal cleaned?

Dust the crystal droplets with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a fine brush. For deeper cleaning, gently wipe individual crystals with a barely-damp cloth and distilled water, then dry immediately with a lint-free cloth. Avoid household sprays and detergents, which can leave residue on the facets.
