Description
Five flexes drop from a compact head, each finished in matt black and each ending in an E27 lampholder ready for a lamp of your choosing. The head is small, 12cm across, so the fitting reads as a gathering of cords and lamps rather than a solid shade. Every flex can hang long, with around two metres to play with, or be shortened right up, which is what makes the spider format so useful: you decide whether the lamps bunch together or spread wide across a room.
It works over a long dining table, along a kitchen island, or in a stairwell where the drops can be staggered down the well. The bare-lampholder look suits decorative LED lamps with visible filaments, and we would reach for those in a warm white rather than anything cold. With suitable lamps and a compatible dimmer it will dim, which helps in a room that shifts from breakfast to late supper. It earns its place in open-plan kitchens, studios and rented flats where one fitting has to cover a lot of ground.
Cords, cups and lampholders all share the same matt black, so nothing competes with the lamps themselves. Dust gathers on flex more readily than people expect, so run a dry cloth down each cord now and then, and give the lamps time to cool before handling them. Keep it to dry rooms; a bathroom zone or a covered porch wants a sealed fitting instead. It carries a two year warranty. Elsewhere in the range we stock the same small ceiling fitting in matt white, antique brass, polished chrome, pewter and more besides, along with curved frame pendants for anyone who wants their lamps held on a rigid bar. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What lamps does it take?
Five E27 lamps, rated up to 20W each. LED is the sensible choice, and any LED lamp with an E27 cap will fit. Lamps are supplied separately.
How low can the lamps hang?
Each flex gives a drop of between 115mm and 2115mm, so you can keep one high and let another fall almost two metres.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided you use dimmable lamps and a dimmer switch that is compatible with them.
How big is the ceiling head?
It measures 120mm in diameter, and the whole fitting weighs 1.25kg.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is intended for dry interior rooms such as kitchens, dining rooms, hallways and living spaces.
How should I clean it?
Switch off at the wall and let everything cool, then wipe the head and run a dry cloth along each flex. Avoid sprays and solvents on the matt black finish.
