Description
A wide opal white glass shade sits close to the ceiling here, held in satin nickel with a soft sheen rather than a mirror shine. At 46cm across it is a generous width for a medium room, and the light it gives is broad and gentle, diffused through the glass instead of thrown down in a hard beam. Three candle lamps sit behind the opal, and the glass blends them into one even glow.
We reach for a fitting of this kind where a pendant would hang too low: hallways, landings, a box bedroom, a kitchen or utility with limited headroom above the worktop. It gives general room light rather than a pool over a table, so it sits happily as the main fitting with a reading lamp beside a chair. Small E14 candle lamps keep the look tidy behind the opal, and dimmable lamps on a dimmer circuit will let you take the level down in the evening. We would keep to LED candles here, up to 40W.
The shade is opal white glass, thick enough to hide the lamps and to soften their light, and the metal parts are finished in satin nickel throughout, which keeps company with brushed steel handles and taps without competing with them. For cleaning, a damp cloth on the glass and a dry one on the nickel is all it asks, done with the power off and the lamps cold. Keep it to dry rooms indoors, out of the way of steam and splashes. We stock it as a plain, quiet fitting rather than a decorative one, which is part of why it suits a hallway that already has plenty going on. It carries a one year warranty. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What size is it?
The shade measures 460mm in diameter with a height of 330mm, which puts it in the medium size band for a hallway, landing or bedroom ceiling.
Which lamps does it take, and how many?
It takes three E14 lamps, with LED candle (C35) recommended, rated up to 40W each. Lamps are supplied separately.
Can I dim it?
Yes, provided you fit dimmable lamps and pair them with a compatible dimmer. Standard non-dimmable LED candles should be run on a plain switch.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is rated for dry indoor rooms only, so a hallway, bedroom or kitchen is right, but not a bathroom zone or anywhere exposed to steam.
How do I keep the opal glass looking clean?
Switch the light off and let the lamps go cold, then wipe the glass with a slightly damp cloth and finish with a dry one. Avoid abrasive creams and solvents, which will dull both glass and nickel.
What colour is the glass?
Opal white, so it reads as a soft neutral against the satin nickel and stays pale even when the light is off.
