Description
Clear crystal set against a French gold frame gives this flush ceiling light plenty of sparkle for very little depth. It sits tight against the ceiling rather than dropping down, so light washes across the plaster and catches in the cut glass instead of gathering in one bright pool below. Four G9 lamp positions are held within the crystal, and we would fit LED capsules in them for a bright, even glitter.
At 35cm across it suits hallways, landings, bedrooms and box rooms where headroom is short and a hanging fitting would only be ducked under. We reach for something like this in older houses with low upstairs ceilings, and in rooms where a bed or a stair turn sits directly beneath the ceiling point. Dimming is possible provided the lamps you fit are dimmable, which is worth doing in a bedroom where full output is rarely wanted.
The frame is metal in a warm French gold, holding clear crystal pieces that do the work of spreading the light. Crystal shows dust sooner than most things, so wipe the glass now and then with a lint-free cloth once the fitting is cold, and keep the gold dry rather than wet-cleaning it. Choose it for dry rooms indoors, well away from steam and splashing. It carries a one year warranty. The same size is also offered in polished chrome with crystal, and there is a wider six light version in this range if you have a larger hall or landing to cover. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What lamps does it take?
Four G9 lamps, up to 33W each. We would use G9 LED capsules, which run cooler than halogen and keep the crystal cleaner for longer.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, on a suitable dimmer, but only if the G9 lamps you fit are themselves marked as dimmable. Standard non-dimmable capsules will flicker or buzz.
How far does it hang down?
It projects 180mm from the ceiling, so it stays clear of head height even in a low hallway or attic bedroom.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. Its IP20 rating means it belongs in dry rooms such as bedrooms, hallways and landings rather than bathrooms or shower rooms.
How do I clean the crystal?
Switch off at the wall and let the lamps go cold, then dust the crystal with a soft lint-free cloth. Avoid sprays and polishes, which can mark the gold finish.
What size room does the 35cm version suit?
It works well in spaces up to around 3m by 3m, such as a landing, a single bedroom or a hallway. For anything larger, the 45cm six light version gives more spread.
