Description
The Drasmena is a flush ceiling light in white, made from a round steel ceiling plate and a domed shade of matt opal glass. It measures 28cm across and sits just 11.7cm deep, so it keeps a low, tidy profile close to the ceiling rather than hanging down into the room. It takes an E27 bulb up to a maximum of 60W, and no bulb is included, which leaves the choice of warmth and brightness entirely yours. Its IP rating is IP20, which settles where it belongs: indoors, in rooms that stay dry.
Because it sits so close to the ceiling, a flush light like this suits rooms where headroom matters: hallways, landings, bedrooms and studies, or a living room with a lower ceiling. The smooth white dome sits quietly against a white or pale ceiling, so the fitting reads as part of the room rather than competing for attention. Opal glass diffuses light, so the whole shade glows softly and spreads an even light without the glare of a bare bulb. We think it is a sensible choice for anyone replacing a dated pendant or a plain bare-bulb fitting with something cleaner and calmer.
The body is steel and the shade is glass, both white, so there is no second colour to match against your ceiling. There is no switch on the light itself; it is switched at the wall, so it works from the light switch you already have. It runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains, and as a light wired into the ceiling it should be installed by a qualified electrician. The installation instructions come as a download. The packed weight is 1.614KG. When you buy bulbs, choose E27 bulbs of 60W or less to stay within the fitting's maximum.

Frequently Asked
Can the Drasmena go in a bathroom?
We would not put it there. It is rated IP20, which means it belongs indoors in dry rooms, so keep it away from bathrooms and anywhere near water; it suits hallways, landings and bedrooms well.
Does it come with a bulb?
No bulb is included. It takes an E27 bulb up to a maximum of 60W, so you can choose the colour of light and the brightness you prefer.
How big is the Drasmena flush ceiling light?
It is 28cm across and 11.7cm deep, so it sits close to the ceiling and works well where headroom is limited, such as a landing or hallway.
What material is the shade?
The shade is matt opal glass in white, set on a white steel body. Opal glass diffuses light, giving a soft, even glow across the whole dome.
Does the light have its own switch?
No, there is no switch on the fitting. It is switched at the wall, so you turn it on and off from your existing light switch.
