Enigma 5 Light Semi-Flush Ceiling Light - White, 90cm

The Enigma is a 900mm semi-flush ceiling light with five white opal glass globes arranged on slender white-painted metal arms radiating from a central cylindrical canopy. Each globe houses a G9 bulb (sold separately), giving the fitting a total output controlled by a single ceiling circuit. The semi-flush design sits approximately 150-200mm below the ceiling line, keeping the fixture compact enough for rooms with standard 2.4m ceiling heights while distributing light across a wide floor area.

Designed for living rooms, dining rooms and open-plan kitchen-diners between 18-25m², the Enigma provides general ambient lighting rather than focused task light. The 900mm span suits rooms with ceiling dimensions of 3.5m or wider — in smaller rooms the arms may dominate the ceiling plane. The white opal glass diffuses the light from each G9 bulb, softening direct glare and casting an even wash across walls and ceiling. The fitting is fully dimmable when paired with a compatible trailing-edge dimmer and dimmable G9 LED bulbs.

The white metal frame and white glass give the Enigma a clean, monochromatic appearance that pairs well with Scandinavian, minimalist and contemporary interiors. The IP20 rating limits the fitting to dry indoor use only — it is not suitable for bathrooms, utility rooms or covered outdoor areas. Ideal Lux manufactures the Enigma in Italy and backs it with a 5-year warranty. The fixture weighs approximately 2.8kg and fits standard UK ceiling roses with a single live, neutral and earth connection.

What bulbs does the Enigma take?

The fitting takes five G9 bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this with G9 LED bulbs between 2.5-5W and 2700K-3000K for warm ambient light. Ensure any G9 LEDs are marked as dimmable if you plan to use a dimmer switch.

Is the Enigma suitable for low ceilings?

Yes. The semi-flush design sits approximately 150-200mm below the ceiling, making it suitable for standard 2.4m ceiling heights. Rooms with ceilings below 2.3m may feel the fitting sits too low, particularly if the room is small.

What room size does it suit?

The 900mm diameter spans large rooms and open-plan spaces between 18-25m². In smaller rooms under 12m² the fitting may dominate the ceiling. The five-bulb configuration provides enough output for general ambient lighting when fitted with appropriate wattage G9 bulbs.

Can it be used in bathrooms?

No. The IP20 rating limits the Enigma to dry indoor use only. It is not suitable for bathrooms, utility rooms, or any space where moisture or splashing may be present.
