Description
Dernessa is a wide drum flush ceiling light, with a white fabric shade wrapped around a white steel body and a white diffuser across the underside, so you never look straight up at a bare bulb. It measures 57cm across and 15cm deep, keeping it tucked close to the ceiling. Inside are three E27 lampholders, each taking a bulb of up to 25W. The bulbs are not included, which means you choose the colour and warmth of the light yourself. It is rated IP20, the rating for indoor, dry rooms, so it belongs in the living spaces of the home rather than a bathroom.
At only 15cm deep, it suits rooms where a pendant would hang too low or feel crowded: a bedroom, a hallway, a living room or a dining area where people sit and talk beneath it. The fabric shade gives a calm, diffused glow rather than a harsh glare, and the all-white finish sits quietly against a white ceiling, so it works with almost any colour scheme or style of furniture. With three bulbs behind one shade, it is a sensible choice for anyone who wants plenty of light from a single fitting and a tidy ceiling with nothing dangling.
There is no switch on the light itself, so it is controlled from your existing wall switch, and it runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains. As a wired-in mains light, it should be installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions are available as a download for them to read beforehand. To keep it looking fresh, switch off, let the bulbs cool and run a soft, dry duster around the fabric shade now and then. Our practical tip: pick warm white E27 bulbs, as they bring out a soft, cosy tone in the white fabric during the evening.

Frequently Asked
Can I fit the Dernessa in a bathroom?
It is rated IP20, which suits dry indoor rooms only, so we recommend it for living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and dining areas rather than a bathroom.
Which bulbs does the Dernessa take?
It takes three E27 bulbs of up to 25W each. The bulbs are not included, so you can choose the colour and warmth you prefer.
How big is the light?
It is 57cm across and 15cm deep, so it sits close to the ceiling and suits rooms where a pendant would hang too low.
Does it have its own switch?
No, there is no switch on the light itself, so you turn it on and off at the wall switch.
What materials are the body and shade?
The body is white steel and the shade is white fabric, with a white diffuser underneath that softens the light and hides the bulbs.
How do I clean the fabric shade?
Switch the light off and let the bulbs cool, then run a soft, dry duster around the fabric shade now and then to keep it fresh.
