Description
The Freida is a 6-light semi-flush ceiling light built around a 500mm drum shade in white organza, suspended from a polished chrome canopy on a short drop frame. Six E14 bulbs (sold separately) sit inside the shade, with strands of facet-cut crystal beads cascading through the drum and hanging below the lower edge, each strand terminating in a hexagonal crystal drop.
Designed for bedrooms, dining rooms and living spaces with ceiling heights of 2.4-2.7m, the Freida provides both diffused ambient light through the organza and decorative sparkle from the crystal strands. The 520mm overall drop including crystal falls positions the fitting close enough to the ceiling to avoid head clearance issues while giving the crystals enough vertical space to catch light. The semi-flush mount fits standard UK ceiling roses and requires a secure fixing capable of supporting 3.4kg.
The white organza shade softens the light from the six bulbs and prevents direct glare, while the crystal beads introduce prismatic reflections across the room when the fitting is lit. The polished chrome frame and canopy provide contrast against the fabric and reflect additional light back through the crystals. Each crystal strand is fixed to the metal frame at top and bottom, keeping the beads aligned vertically rather than swaying freely.
The Freida accepts dimmable E14 bulbs up to 40W each, giving a maximum combined load of 240W if using halogen. Most users pair the fitting with 4-6W warm-white LED candle bulbs at 2700K-3000K to balance light output with running cost and heat generation inside the shade.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does it take?
The Freida takes six E14 (small Edison screw) bulbs up to 40W each. Bulbs are sold separately. For best results with the white shade and crystal, use warm-white LED candle bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K-3000K.
Is it dimmable?
Yes, when paired with dimmable E14 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. The fitting itself does not restrict dimming — dimmer compatibility depends on the specific bulbs chosen.
What ceiling height does it suit?
The 520mm total drop including crystal falls works best in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4-2.7m. The semi-flush mount keeps the fitting close to the ceiling, avoiding head clearance issues in standard-height rooms.
How is the organza shade cleaned?
Turn off power at the mains. Dust the organza gently with a soft brush or dry microfibre cloth. For the crystal strands, wipe each bead individually with a barely-damp lint-free cloth, then dry immediately to prevent water marks.
