Description
The Kelverton is a large flush ceiling light measuring 450mm across with a projection of 180mm, which keeps it tight to the ceiling. Its shade is multicoloured Tiffany-style leaded glass held in a metal frame, lit by two 60W E27 GLS bulbs; bulbs are supplied separately. The glass is cut into panels and joined with lead, so the colour is in the material and the pattern stays legible with the light off. At 2.2kg it is one of the lighter fittings of this size, which makes fixing easier. It is Class 1 and needs an earth.
Flush mount fittings solve low ceilings. At 450mm the Kelverton lights a hallway, a landing, a bedroom or a small living room on its own, and the shallow 180mm drop means it clears doors, wardrobes and sloping eaves where a pendant cannot go. Two bulbs give a level of general light that suits a whole room rather than a reading corner. It works for period houses, cottages and flats with plaster ceilings, and for anyone who wants the colour of leaded glass without a fitting hanging in the middle of the room.
The metal frame takes the load and the leaded glass sits within it, so the panels are not stressed by the fixing. For care, a dry soft cloth or a soft brush handles dust; a barely damp cloth deals with marks and should be followed by a dry one so the lead lines do not sit wet. Avoid solvents, ammonia-based glass sprays and abrasive creams. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms. Fit dimmable bulbs with a compatible dimmer for lower evening light. The pattern suits traditional and country rooms.

Frequently Asked
How close to the ceiling does it sit?
The projection is 180mm and the diameter 450mm, so it stays tight to the plaster and clears doors, wardrobes and sloping eaves.
What is the shade made from?
Multicoloured leaded glass in the Tiffany style, cut into panels and joined with lead, set into a metal frame that carries the fixing.
Which bulbs does it take?
Two 60W E27 GLS bulbs, not included. Dimmable bulbs on a compatible dimmer will let you lower the level in the evening.
How should I clean it?
Dust with a dry soft cloth or soft brush. For marks, use a barely damp cloth then dry the glass and lead. Keep solvents and abrasive creams away.
Is it heavy to fit?
At 2.2kg it is light for a 450mm fitting, which makes it more straightforward to fix than heavier leaded glass ceiling lights.
Can I use it in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms only, such as halls, landings, bedrooms and living rooms.
