Florida 6 Light Semi-Flush Ceiling Light - Brown/Black Oxide

The Florida is a 6-light semi-flush ceiling light built around a central brown/black oxide hub with six curved metal arms radiating outwards, each terminating in an amber frosted fluted glass shade shaped like a curled flower petal. The arms arch out from the 280mm-high central fixture in a botanical form, positioning the six E14 bulb fittings (sold separately) evenly around the 650mm diameter spread.

Designed for living rooms, dining rooms and master bedrooms with ceiling heights between 2.4-2.8m, the semi-flush mounting keeps the fitting close to the ceiling while the outward-sweeping arms provide distributed light across a 4-5m room width. The 280mm drop suits standard UK ceiling heights where a full pendant would hang too low, while the six-light configuration delivers more output than 3-light alternatives in the same range. Each shade points downwards and outwards, directing light into the room rather than at the ceiling.

The brown/black oxide finish on the metalwork provides a textured, aged appearance that contrasts with the warm amber frosted glass. The fluted shades are hand-formed, so minor variations in the petal edges and glass thickness occur between pieces. The 2.2kg weight requires fixing to a ceiling joist or solid ceiling structure rather than plasterboard alone. The fixture accepts dimmable E14 bulbs if paired with a compatible dimmer switch, allowing light levels to be adjusted for different times of day.

What bulbs does it take?

The Florida takes six E14 small Edison screw bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this with 4-6W LED candle bulbs in warm white (2700K-3000K) to complement the amber glass. Maximum wattage depends on the bulb type. Check the product packaging.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, if fitted with dimmable E14 bulbs and paired with a compatible dimmer switch. The fitting itself is dimmer-compatible, but standard non-dimmable LED bulbs will not dim and may flicker or fail if used with a dimmer.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 280mm drop suits ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. In rooms with 2.4m ceilings the lowest point of the shades sits approximately 2.12m from the floor, providing clearance for most doorways and general circulation.

How is it fitted to the ceiling?

The Florida weighs 2.2kg and requires fixing to a ceiling joist or solid ceiling structure. A standard UK ceiling rose can support the weight, but plasterboard-only ceilings need a fixing plate or toggle bolts rated for the load. Wiring connects to a standard mains loop-in ceiling rose.
