{"product_id":"gilbert-8-light-semi-flush-ceiling-light-matt-black","title":"Gilbert 8 Light Semi-Flush Ceiling Light - Matt Black","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gilbert is an 8-light semi-flush ceiling light built around a matt black tubular steel frame with eight angular arms extending from a central ceiling plate. Each arm bends at right angles, creating a geometric, asymmetric spread across an 87cm width and 59cm depth. Each arm terminates in an exposed E27 bulb fitting, allowing the bulb itself to become part of the visual composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for rooms with ceiling heights between 2.4m and 2.7m, the Gilbert sits just 22.7cm below the ceiling when installed, making it suitable for open-plan living spaces, dining rooms above large tables, and loft conversions where a full-drop pendant would hang too low. The angular arm arrangement spreads the light across a wide area without needing multiple separate fittings, covering typical 4m x 5m rooms with even distribution when paired with appropriate bulbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe matt black powder-coated steel frame absorbs light rather than reflecting it, keeping visual attention on the bulbs themselves rather than the metallic structure. The exposed bulb design works with vintage filament Edison bulbs (ST64 or G95 shapes), clear LED filament bulbs, or standard opal E27 bulbs depending on the lighting effect required. Each fitting takes up to 60W, though most installations use 6-8W LED bulbs to achieve 400-600 lumens per arm. The frame weighs approximately 3.2kg and fixes directly to a ceiling rose with a standard hook-and-chain ceiling plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IP20 rating limits the Gilbert to dry indoor use. The angular geometry makes it visually compatible with industrial, contemporary, and mid-century interiors, and the black finish pairs with exposed brickwork, concrete, whitewashed walls and natural wood flooring common in warehouse conversions and new-build open-plan homes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22.7cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e59cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25.2cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25.2cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMetal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVoltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAC 220-240\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBulb Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eE27\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWattage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 Year Guarantee\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/instruction_eu_O590FL-L8B4K.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat bulbs does it take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gilbert takes eight E27 (Edison screw) bulbs, each rated up to 60W.
