Description
The Drasmena is a two-bulb flush ceiling light with a softly domed shade of white matt opal glass on a slim white steel base. It measures 35cm across and 12.7cm deep, so it sits close to the ceiling and keeps headroom clear in rooms where a pendant would hang too low. It takes two E27 bulbs of up to 60W each, and the bulbs are not included, which leaves the choice of brightness and colour temperature with you. It is rated IP20, which means it belongs indoors in dry rooms.
We would put it in a hallway, a landing, a bedroom or a living room, anywhere you want even, general light from one tidy fitting. The opal glass softens the bulbs behind it, so what you see is a gentle, all-over glow rather than bright points of light, and that makes it kind on the eyes when you look up from a sofa or a bed. The plain white finish sits quietly against a painted ceiling in almost any scheme, and the round, low profile suits ceilings of most heights. It is an easy, sensible choice whether you are fitting out a first home, refreshing a rental or redecorating room by room.
The body is steel, finished in white to match the shade, and the glass is matt rather than glossy, so it spreads the light evenly. There is no switch on the light itself; it is switched at the wall, so your existing wall switch controls it. It runs on a 220-240V, 50/60Hz supply and, as a wired-in mains light, it is installed by a qualified electrician. The installation instructions come as a download, and the light weighs 2.5KG packed. When you buy bulbs, choose two E27 bulbs of no more than 60W each.
