Larkbury Large 2 Light Tiffany Flush Ceiling Light - Black

The Larkbury large flush ceiling light carries a 480mm dome of Tiffany-style leaded glass with a projection of 200mm, holding the shade tight to the ceiling while still showing the full depth of the pattern. The multicoloured glass is cut piece by piece and joined with soldered seams over a metal frame. Two E27 GLS bulbs of up to 60W each sit behind the glass and are supplied separately, so the brightness and colour temperature are yours to choose. It weighs 2.6kg and dims with dimmable bulbs on a compatible dimmer switch.

At 480mm across this is the wider of the two Larkbury flush fittings, which makes it our choice for a decent sized room rather than a small landing: a sitting room, a dining room, a wide hallway or a main bedroom with a lower ceiling. Flush rather than semi-flush means nothing hangs into head height, so it also works above a staircase or a bed. The pattern reads traditional and suits older houses, though the colour is just as welcome in a plain flat where the ceiling is the only surface left to work with. It is IP20 rated for dry indoor rooms.

The shade is soldered leaded glass on a metal gallery, wired as a Class 1 earthed fitting, so a qualified electrician should install it. Dust with a dry soft cloth or a soft brush, wipe marks with a barely damp cloth and dry immediately, keeping solvents, polishes and abrasive creams off the solder lines. Let bulbs cool before handling them. The wider Larkbury range takes the same glass into pendants, a table lamp and an uplighter floor lamp, so a hall, sitting room and bedroom can be linked without repeating one fitting.

How wide is it and how far does it hang down?

480mm in diameter with a projection of 200mm, so it sits flush against the ceiling and keeps head height clear.
