Description
The Dernessa is a round flush ceiling light with a grey linen fabric drum shade and a white diffuser across its underside, so the bulbs stay hidden and the light is softened before it reaches the room. It measures 57cm in diameter and 15cm deep, a generous size that gives a room a clear centre. Inside are three E27 bulb holders taking up to 25W each, and the bulbs are not included, so you choose the ones you like. It is rated IP20, which settles where it belongs: dry rooms indoors.
Because it sits close to the ceiling rather than hanging, it suits rooms where a pendant would get in the way or where the ceiling is on the low side: a living room, a bedroom, a hallway or a dining area, where it gives a table even light. At 57cm across, it covers a wide area of ceiling with one fitting, which is often tidier than several small lights. The textured grey shade brings a little warmth and softness to a plain white ceiling and sits comfortably in calm, neutral schemes. It suits anyone who wants generous, diffused light without bare bulbs on show.
The body is steel, finished in white, and the shade is a linen fabric with a fine woven texture. There is no switch on the light itself: it is switched at the wall, with nothing to reach for on the fitting. It runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains and weighs 2.793KG packed. As a wired-in mains light, it is installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions are available as a download. Keep it to dry rooms indoors and fit bulbs of no more than 25W in each holder, and it will give you soft, even light from one tidy fitting.

Frequently Asked
Can this ceiling light go in a bathroom?
We would keep it out of the bathroom. It is rated IP20, which means it is made for dry rooms indoors such as living rooms, bedrooms and hallways.
Are bulbs included with the light?
No, the bulbs are not included. It takes three E27 bulbs at a maximum of 25W each, so you can choose the bulbs you prefer.
How big is the Dernessa?
It is 57cm in diameter and 15cm deep, so it sits close to the ceiling while spreading its light across a wide circle.
Does the light have its own switch?
No, there is no switch on the fitting itself. It is switched at the wall, so you turn it on and off at the room switch.
What colour is the shade?
The shade is a grey linen fabric with a white diffuser underneath, and the steel body is white, so it sits quietly against a white ceiling.
