Flavia 3 Light Semi-Flush Ceiling Light - Black Chrome Frosted Glass

The Flavia is a 3 light semi-flush ceiling light with three curved black chrome arms extending from a central ceiling mount, each ending in a dual-layer glass shade combining frosted and clear glass. The fitting takes three G9 bulbs (sold separately) and mounts directly to the ceiling with a compact 340mm drop, making it suitable for rooms with ceiling heights of 2.3m or above where a pendant would hang too low.

Designed for bedrooms, hallways, dining rooms and living spaces with lower ceilings, the Flavia distributes light across a 540mm span. The frosted inner layer of each shade diffuses the bulb filament while the clear outer layer adds visual clarity and allows some sparkle through when lit. The black chrome finish on the metalwork provides a darker, gunmetal tone compared to standard polished or brushed chrome, giving stronger contrast against white ceilings and neutral walls.

The three arms curve outward in a balanced arrangement, creating a sculptural profile when viewed from below. Each arm supports its shade on a short stem, positioning the light sources away from the central mount and reducing pooling directly beneath the fitting. The 1.6kg weight sits comfortably within the load capacity of standard UK ceiling roses and the G9 socket compatibility means bulbs are widely available in LED, halogen and eco-halogen formats at various wattages and colour temperatures.

What bulbs does it take and are they included?

The Flavia takes three G9 capsule bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this with 3-5W LED G9 bulbs in warm white (2700K-3000K) for general room lighting. The fitting is rated for 220-240V mains and accepts any G9 bulb within the maximum wattage limits set.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, provided you use dimmable G9 bulbs and pair the fitting with a compatible dimmer switch on the circuit. Standard non-dimmable LED bulbs will not dim and may flicker or fail if used with a dimmer.

What ceiling height does it suit?

The 340mm drop from ceiling to the lowest point of the shades makes this suitable for rooms with ceiling heights of 2.3m or above. In rooms with 2.4m ceilings the fitting sits approximately 2.06m above floor level, well clear of head height in most residential settings.

How is the black chrome finish different from standard chrome?

Black chrome is a darker, gunmetal-toned finish rather than the bright silver of polished chrome or the softer grey of brushed chrome. It provides stronger contrast against white ceilings and pairs well with black, charcoal and darker interior schemes.
