Griffin 4 Light Semi-Flush Ceiling Light - Polished Chrome

The Griffin is a 533mm semi-flush ceiling light with four E27 bulb fittings housed within a white etched glass bowl, suspended on curved polished chrome arms from a 356mm-tall central stem. The three arms sweep outward from the ceiling canopy before curving back inward to support the glass bowl, creating a sculptural frame that sits close to the ceiling while allowing the etched glass to act as the primary diffuser.

Designed for spaces with ceiling heights between 2.4-2.8m where a pendant would hang too low, the Griffin suits entrance halls, landings, bathrooms and kitchens requiring ambient overhead light without the drop of a traditional pendant. The 356mm height from ceiling to the base of the glass bowl means the fitting sits within the typical 400-500mm clearance zone below a ceiling, making it suitable for rooms where headroom matters. The four E27 bulbs (sold separately) accept standard LED, halogen or filament bulbs up to 60W each.

The etched glass shade is painted white on the interior surface, which diffuses the light from the bulbs and softens shadows across the ceiling and upper walls. The polished chrome finish on the metal frame, canopy and decorative ceiling cap reflects ambient light in the room, adding brightness without glare. The curved arms give the fitting a more sculptural presence than a flat flush-mount while keeping the overall projection low enough for standard UK ceiling heights.

What bulbs does it take?

The Griffin takes four E27 (Edison screw) bulbs, each up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED bulbs between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for ambient lighting in hallways and kitchens.

What's the minimum ceiling height needed?

The fitting projects 356mm from the ceiling to the base of the glass bowl. For comfortable headroom, ceiling heights of 2.4m or above are recommended. In rooms with 2.4m ceilings the base of the fitting sits at approximately 2.04m — sufficient clearance for most doorways and circulation.

Is it suitable for bathrooms?

The Griffin carries no IP rating in the specification provided, so it should only be installed in bathroom zones where an IP rating is not required (typically Zone 3, more than 600mm from a bath or shower). Check current UK wiring regulations before installation.

Can the glass shade be removed for cleaning?

Yes. The etched glass bowl is held in place by the curved chrome arms and can be removed for cleaning or bulb replacement. The white-painted interior surface can be wiped with a damp microfibre cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners that might damage the painted finish.
