Description
Three opal glass shades sit beneath a polished chrome frame, held close to the ceiling so the fitting stays clear of head height in rooms where a long drop would be a nuisance. The glass is milky rather than clear, which softens the light instead of letting it glare. At 56cm across it is a broad piece, wide enough to hold its own over a stairwell or in the middle of a good sized room. Each holder takes a small E14 lamp, and golf ball LEDs are the ones we would put in.
It suits hallways, landings and bedrooms, and any room where a hanging fitting would sit awkwardly low. Three lamps spread light more evenly across a wide space than a lone central fitting manages, so it earns its place in a kitchen, a dining area or a sitting room used in the evening. Dimming is possible if you fit dimmable lamps, which is worth doing in a bedroom. This is a fitting for dry rooms indoors, away from steam and splashes.
The chrome is polished to a mirror brightness and the opal glass has a gentle sheen against it, so metal and glass read together rather than as frame plus shades. Fingermarks show on chrome, as they do on any bright metal, so give it an occasional buff with a dry microfibre cloth; the glass will take a barely damp cloth and a dry one after, with the power off and the lamps cool. It carries a one year warranty. The same design is made at 43cm for smaller halls and box rooms, and we stock both. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What lamps does it take?
Three E14 lamps, up to 40W each. We would use LED golf ball lamps, which are the shape the shades are drawn around.
Can I dim it?
Yes, provided you fit dimmable lamps and use a compatible dimmer. Standard non-dimmable LEDs will not dim.
How far does it hang below the ceiling?
The overall height is 280mm, so it stays close to the ceiling rather than dropping into the room.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which is for dry indoor rooms only.
How should I clean the glass?
Switch off at the wall and let the lamps cool, then wipe the opal shades with a cloth wrung out in warm water and dry them straight away. Keep abrasives and solvents away from the chrome.
Is there a smaller size?
Yes, the same design is offered at 43cm in polished chrome with opal glass.
