Griffin 4 Light Semi-Flush Ceiling Light - Palladian Bronze

The Griffin is a 533mm semi-flush ceiling light with four E27 bulbs housed beneath an etched glass bowl shade, supported by curved metal arms finished in Palladian bronze. The glass shade is painted white on the inside surface to diffuse and soften the light output, while the etched exterior adds texture to the bowl. The four curved arms extend from a central ceiling mount before sweeping down to cradle the glass bowl at its rim.

Designed for rooms with ceiling heights between 2.4m and 2.8m where a full pendant would hang too low, the Griffin sits 356mm from the ceiling rose to the base of the glass bowl. This makes it suitable for living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms and entrance halls in both traditional homes and period conversions. The semi-flush format provides general ambient light across a 12-16 square metre room without dominating sightlines or obstructing ceiling height.

The Palladian bronze finish shows as a mid-tone brown with warm copper undertones, darker than antique brass but warmer than oil-rubbed bronze. This sits comfortably in interiors with natural wood furniture, stone surfaces and earthy colour palettes. The etched glass bowl softens shadows and reduces glare from exposed bulbs, while the white interior coating boosts light output by reflecting more lumens downward into the room rather than being absorbed by clear glass.

The Griffin accepts four E27 bulbs up to 60W each (sold separately), giving flexibility to choose between warm-white LED bulbs at 2700K-3000K for ambient living spaces or cooler daylight bulbs at 4000K-5000K for task-focused rooms. Total light output depends on bulb choice, but four 10W LED bulbs at 800 lumens each would deliver approximately 3,200 lumens across the room.

What ceiling height is needed?

The Griffin sits 356mm below the ceiling rose, so it works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. In lower-ceiling rooms the fitting may feel visually heavy, while in higher-ceiling rooms above 3m a full pendant light would usually be a better proportion.

What bulbs does it take?

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

Is the glass removable for bulb changes?

Yes. The etched glass bowl is held in place by the four curved arms and can be lowered or removed to access the bulb sockets for replacement. Check the fitting instructions for the specific release mechanism on this model.

Can it be used on a dimmer switch?

The fitting itself is compatible with dimmer switches, but you must use dimmable E27 bulbs. Not all LED bulbs are dimmable, so check the bulb specification before pairing with a dimmer to avoid flickering or failure.
