Fletcher 26" Flush Ceiling Light - Aged Brass with Ivory Shade

The Fletcher is a 660mm (26") flush ceiling light combining an ivory faux silk drum shade with an aged brass central finial and mounting hardware. The fitting houses five E27 bulb sockets behind a gloss white acrylic diffuser plate that sits beneath the fabric shade, spreading light evenly across the drum interior before it passes through the ivory fabric. The 272mm overall height means the fitting projects minimally from the ceiling, making it suitable for rooms with ceiling heights of 2.3m or above.

Designed for medium to large living rooms, dining rooms and principal bedrooms where ambient ceiling lighting is needed without the drop of a pendant or chandelier, the Fletcher provides broad, even coverage across a 4-5m space. The flush mount design fits standard UK ceiling roses and keeps the shade close to the ceiling plane, avoiding the visual clutter of a suspended fitting while still delivering sufficient light output from the five-bulb configuration. The fitting accepts any E27 LED, halogen or filament bulb up to 60W per socket, giving flexibility to choose colour temperature and brightness to suit the room.

The faux silk shade has a linen-like texture that softens the light as it passes through, reducing glare and creating a warmer ambient tone than a bare ceiling fitting. The aged brass finial and ceiling plate provide a warm metallic accent that pairs with both traditional and transitional interiors, and the aged finish shows slight tonal variation across the surface rather than the uniform shine of polished brass. At 660mm diameter the shade occupies a substantial visual footprint on the ceiling without overwhelming rooms under 20m².

What bulbs does the Fletcher take?

The fitting has five E27 (Edison screw) sockets, each rated for bulbs up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with five warm-white LED bulbs between 8-12W and 2700K-3000K for comfortable ambient lighting across a living room or bedroom.

Is the Fletcher suitable for low ceilings?

Yes. The 272mm projection from ceiling to shade bottom makes the Fletcher a good choice for rooms with ceiling heights of 2.3m or above. The flush mount design keeps the fitting close to the ceiling plane, avoiding the head clearance issues that can occur with pendant or chandelier fittings.

Can the shade be cleaned?

The faux silk shade can be vacuumed gently using a soft brush attachment to remove dust. For more stubborn marks, a barely-damp microfibre cloth is acceptable, but avoid soaking the fabric and do not use household sprays or chemical cleaners.

What room size does the 660mm diameter suit?

The Fletcher works best in rooms between 12-20m² (roughly 3.5m x 3.5m to 4.5m x 4.5m). In smaller rooms the 660mm diameter can dominate the ceiling visually, while in larger rooms a single Fletcher may not provide sufficient ambient coverage without additional task lighting.
