Evington 2 Light Semi-Flush Ceiling Light - Sunset Gold

The Evington is a 352mm semi-flush ceiling light with a blown opal etched glass shade held by a sunset gold metal frame and three curved arms that rise from a circular ceiling plate to support the shade. A clear glass sphere sits at the base of the fitting where the arms converge, adding weight and visual interest to the underside. The fitting takes two E27 bulbs (sold separately) housed inside the opal glass, which diffuses light evenly across the room.

Designed for rooms with ceiling heights between 2.2m and 2.6m where a pendant drop would hang too low, the Evington sits 297mm from the ceiling and provides ambient light without protruding far into headroom. The semi-flush format suits hallways, bedrooms, dining rooms and living rooms where a central ceiling fitting is needed but a flush-mount would sit too flat against the ceiling. The 352mm diameter of the shade provides enough visual presence to anchor a room up to 4m square without overwhelming smaller spaces.

The sunset gold finish on the metal frame is a warm antique brass tone with slightly darker patina in the recesses, giving a lived-in character rather than a high-polish new brass look. The blown opal glass is hand-formed, so minor variations in thickness and surface texture are normal between individual pieces. The clear sphere at the base is solid glass approximately 60mm in diameter, acting as both a decorative finial and a structural element connecting the three curved support arms. The frame, glass and sphere together weigh approximately 2.8kg, requiring secure fixing to a ceiling joist or reinforced plasterboard ceiling.

What bulbs does the Evington take?

The fitting takes two E27 (Edison screw) bulbs up to 60W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED bulbs between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for ambient room lighting. The opal glass diffuses light evenly, so the bulb shape is less critical than with exposed-bulb fittings.

What ceiling height does it suit?

The 297mm drop from ceiling to base makes the Evington suitable for rooms with ceiling heights between 2.2m and 2.6m. Below 2.2m the fitting may feel intrusive in circulation areas; above 2.6m a pendant light with a longer drop would typically provide better visual balance.

Is the sunset gold finish shiny or matte?

The sunset gold finish is a warm antique brass tone with a low-sheen satin surface rather than a high-polish mirror finish. The recesses in the metalwork have a slightly darker patina, giving an aged brass character rather than a new bright brass look.

Can it be fitted to a sloped ceiling?

No. The semi-flush design requires a flat horizontal ceiling surface for the circular mounting plate. Sloped ceilings would cause the fitting to hang at an angle and would place uneven stress on the mounting hardware.
