Description
The Enigma is a 60cm semi-flush ceiling light with five brass arms radiating from a central cylindrical hub, each arm supporting a spherical opal glass globe housing a G9 bulb. The fitting projects approximately 20cm from the ceiling, making it suitable for rooms with ceiling heights below 2.4m where a full pendant drop would hang too low.
Designed for living rooms, bedrooms and dining rooms with lower ceiling heights, the Enigma provides distributed light across a 3-4m ceiling span. The five arms balance the light output to avoid a single central hotspot, and the opal glass globes diffuse the G9 bulbs to soften glare. The fitting is dimmable when paired with a compatible G9 LED bulb and dimmer switch, allowing the light level to be adjusted from bright task lighting to low background ambiance.
The brass finish on the arms and central hub is a warm gold tone that sits between polished brass and satin brass in reflectivity, providing enough sheen to catch light without creating hard reflections. The metal frame is steel with a brass coating, and the opal glass globes are hand-blown with slight variation in opacity between individual pieces. The IP20 rating confirms the fitting is for dry indoor use only.
Each of the five G9 bulbs is sold separately, giving flexibility to choose LED wattage and colour temperature. Most users pair this fitting with 3-5W warm-white G9 LEDs at 2700K-3000K for domestic settings. The 60cm diameter makes the Enigma one of the larger semi-flush options in the Ideal Lux catalogue, suited to rooms where a smaller flush fitting would look undersized but a pendant is not practical.

Frequently Asked
Is this fitting dimmable?
Yes. The Enigma is dimmable when fitted with dimmable G9 LED bulbs and connected to a compatible dimmer switch. Check that your chosen G9 bulb is rated as dimmable and that your dimmer is rated for LED loads.
What bulbs does it take?
The fitting takes five G9 capsule bulbs, sold separately. G9 LEDs between 3-5W and 2700K-3000K are the most common choice for domestic settings. Maximum wattage per bulb depends on the bulb type selected.
What ceiling height is needed?
The Enigma projects approximately 20cm from the ceiling, making it suitable for rooms with ceiling heights from 2.2m upwards. It works particularly well in rooms between 2.2m and 2.5m where a full pendant would hang too low.
What room size does it suit?
The 60cm diameter and five-bulb output suit rooms up to approximately 20-25m² when used as the primary ceiling light. For larger spaces it can be used as one of multiple fittings or paired with secondary task lighting.
