Karnette 3 Light Ceiling Light - Black, Brass & Grey

The Karnette is a three light ceiling light that sits close to the ceiling on a round black steel base. Below the base, short black stems carry the lamp holders, and each one is set against a broad disc: brushed brass on a pair of them and smoked grey glass on the last, overlapping, with fine rippled rings across each surface. It measures 53cm in diameter and 20cm high, and takes E27 bulbs, which are not included, so you choose the colour and brightness of light you prefer. It is rated IP20, which means it belongs indoors in dry rooms.

Its low height and wide spread make it a good choice for a hallway, a landing, a living room or a dining room where you want more character than a plain flush fitting gives. The mix of black, brushed brass and grey glass sits well alongside dark door frames, warm wood and black metalwork, and it gives an entrance hall a clear focal point the moment you walk through the door. Because the discs sit at slightly different levels beneath the base, the fitting looks interesting from every angle, whether you see it from the front door or the foot of the stairs.

The body is steel, finished in black with brushed brass, and the grey shade disc is glass. There is no switch on the light itself: it is switched at the wall, so you control it from your usual wall switch. It runs at 220-240V, 50/60Hz and weighs 2.29KG. Because it is wired into the mains, it should be installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions are available as a download. Clear filament bulbs suit the open design, as nothing hides the lamp, and the brass and glass discs catch a soft glow whenever the lights are lit.

Can the Karnette go in a bathroom?

No. It is rated IP20, so it belongs indoors in dry rooms such as a hallway, landing, living room or dining room, away from water.

Which bulbs does it take?

It takes E27 bulbs, which are not included, so you can pick the colour of light and the brightness that suit the room.

How big is the Karnette ceiling light?

It is 53cm in diameter and 20cm high, so it sits fairly close to the ceiling while spreading wide across a hallway or living room.

What material are the discs?

The brass discs are part of the steel body, finished in brushed brass, while the grey disc is glass, all set beneath a black steel base.

Does it have its own switch?

No, there is no switch on the light itself. It is switched at the wall, so you control it from your existing wall switch.
