Description
The Harper is a 366mm semi-flush ceiling light from Hinkley, combining a heritage brass frame with an opal etched glass diffuser and three E27 bulb fittings. The metal frame consists of a stepped circular ceiling plate, three curved support arms, and a lower brass ring that holds the glass shade in place, secured by decorative cylindrical knobs at three points around the circumference. The 253mm drop from ceiling to base fits rooms with ceiling heights of 2.2m or above without encroaching on headroom.
Designed for hallways, bedrooms, landings and living rooms where a flush or close-to-ceiling fitting is needed, the Harper provides general ambient lighting through the etched glass diffuser. The opal glass scatters light evenly across the room rather than creating a directed beam, making the fitting suitable for central ceiling positions where coverage matters more than task lighting. The semi-flush design projects further from the ceiling than a true flush mount, giving the glass shade visual prominence while keeping the overall projection compact.
The heritage brass finish is a warm-toned, lightly antiqued brass with a satin sheen rather than a mirror polish, pairing well with traditional interiors, arts-and-crafts schemes, and warm contemporary palettes. The three E27 sockets accept standard Edison screw bulbs up to 60W each (sold separately), giving flexibility to choose LED, halogen or filament bulbs depending on the desired colour temperature and brightness. The decorative knobs at the lower brass ring provide visual detail and reference mid-century and retro lighting design without being overtly period-specific.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Harper take?
The fitting has three E27 (Edison screw) sockets, each rated for bulbs up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED bulbs between 6-10W each and 2700K-3000K for ambient bedroom or hallway lighting.
What ceiling height is needed?
The 253mm drop from ceiling to base suits rooms with ceiling heights of 2.2m or above. In lower-ceilinged rooms the fitting may feel visually heavy or encroach on headroom, particularly in hallways or above landings.
Is the glass shade replaceable?
The opal etched glass shade is held in place by the lower brass ring and decorative knobs. It can be removed for cleaning or replacement by unscrewing the knobs, though Hinkley replacement shades are typically ordered through the manufacturer or specialist suppliers rather than stocked as standalone items.
How is the etched glass cleaned?
The opal glass can be wiped with a damp microfibre cloth and a small amount of glass cleaner. Allow the bulbs to cool fully before removing the shade, and dry the glass thoroughly before refitting to avoid water marks.
