Description
The Halvessa downlight is a single globe of alabaster set beneath a slim black iron ceiling plate. Inside the globe sits an integrated LED, so there is no bulb to buy or change, and the light glows through the stone itself, picking out the cream, honey and soft grey veining that runs through it. The LED is rated at 4.5W and gives 270lm at 2700K, a warm white with a gentle output that suits a soft glow rather than bright task lighting. Its colour rendering is CRI 80+, so colours in the room look natural. The globe is 12cm across, which keeps the fitting compact on the ceiling.
This is a ceiling light for dry indoor rooms. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry rooms only. The maker states it is for indoor use only. We like it in a hallway or on a landing, where a line of small glowing globes leads the way, and in a bedroom or living room where you want gentle light overhead without glare. Because it is dimmable, it suits a dining room too: paired with a compatible dimmer, it can be turned right down for a relaxed evening meal.
The construction is simple and honest: a globe of alabaster held beneath a black iron plate, the dark metal framing the pale stone so the veining stands out when the light is on. Its energy class is E. As a fixed ceiling light, it is for a qualified electrician to install. For styling, the black plate looks crisp against a white ceiling and quietly at home on a dark one, while the warm stone sits happily with oak, linen and aged brass, so it works in a period house or a modern flat alike.
