Description
The Enigma is a three-light semi-flush ceiling fitting with a central brass cylinder and three articulated brass arms, each terminating in an opal glass diffuser shaped like a flattened ellipsoid. The fitting measures 600mm across its widest span and projects approximately 200mm from the ceiling, positioning the three glass shades at different heights and angles to distribute light across the room rather than directly downward.
Designed for rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4-2.7m where a full pendant would hang too low, the Enigma suits bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms and hallways that need general ambient light without a centrepiece chandelier. The three G9 bulbs (sold separately) are housed inside the opal glass diffusers, which soften and diffuse the light to reduce glare. The fitting is dimmable when paired with compatible G9 LED bulbs and a suitable dimmer switch.
The brass frame is finished in a satin tone that sits between polished and brushed, reflecting light without creating mirror-like hot spots. The opal glass is a solid milky white that becomes luminous when the bulbs are lit, casting soft pools of light onto surrounding walls and ceilings. The three-arm asymmetrical arrangement gives the fitting visual interest from below without the geometric formality of a symmetrical three-light cluster.
Each arm is fixed in position during manufacture, so the angles shown in the product image are as the fitting will appear when installed. The central brass cylinder conceals the wiring and mounts directly to a standard UK ceiling rose with a backplate diameter of approximately 100mm. The fitting carries an IP20 rating, suitable for dry indoor locations only.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Enigma take?
The fitting takes three G9 capsule bulbs (sold separately). G9 is a bi-pin base commonly available in LED and halogen formats. Most users fit warm-white LED G9 bulbs between 3W-5W and 2700K-3000K for general ambient lighting.
Is it dimmable?
Yes, when paired with dimmable G9 LED bulbs and a compatible LED dimmer switch. Not all G9 LEDs are dimmable, so check the bulb packaging before installation. Halogen G9 bulbs dim smoothly with standard dimmer switches.
What ceiling height does it suit?
The Enigma projects approximately 200mm from the ceiling and works best in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4-2.7m. In rooms with ceilings above 2.8m, a pendant or chandelier may provide better scale and presence.
Can the arms be adjusted or repositioned?
No. The three arms are fixed in their positions during manufacture and cannot be adjusted or repositioned after installation. The asymmetrical arrangement shown in the product image is how the fitting will appear once fitted.
