Leimo 3 Light Crystal Semi-Flush Ceiling Light - French Gold

The Leimo is a 3-light semi-flush ceiling light built around three curved French gold arms that radiate from a central ceiling plate, each arm supporting a spherical shade encrusted with faceted crystal beads. Each shade houses a single G9 bulb (sold separately), and the crystal beads refract the light into soft prismatic scatter across the ceiling and walls.

Designed for rooms with ceiling heights of 2.3-2.6m where a pendant would hang too low, the Leimo's 170mm projection from ceiling to lowest point makes it suitable for bedrooms, hallway landings, compact dining spaces and living rooms with standard UK ceiling heights. The 480mm diameter footprint gives presence without dominating smaller rooms of 12-16m². The semi-flush format keeps the light source close to the ceiling plane, providing ambient wash rather than directed downlight.

The French gold finish on the metalwork has a warm antique tone rather than the brighter yellow of polished brass, which softens reflections and pairs comfortably with both traditional interiors and warmer contemporary schemes. Each crystal-beaded shade is hand-assembled with clear faceted beads that catch daylight when the light is off and multiply the effect of the G9 bulbs when lit. The fitting weighs 1.5kg once assembled and fixes to a standard UK ceiling rose with the supplied backplate.

Dimmer compatibility depends on the G9 bulbs chosen — pair the Leimo with dimmable G9 LEDs and a compatible LED dimmer to control light intensity. Most users choose warm-white LEDs at 2700-3000K to complement the gold finish, though cooler temperatures are available for rooms with grey or white schemes.

What bulbs does the Leimo take?

The fitting takes three G9 capsule bulbs up to 33W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white G9 LEDs at 2700-3000K and 3-5W to complement the French gold finish.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, provided you use dimmable G9 bulbs and pair them with a compatible LED dimmer. The fitting itself does not include dimming electronics — dimmer compatibility depends entirely on the bulbs chosen.

What ceiling height is needed?

The Leimo projects 170mm from the ceiling to the lowest point of the shades, making it suitable for rooms with ceiling heights of 2.3m or higher. Below 2.3m the fitting may feel visually intrusive.

How is the crystal cleaned?

Switch off at the mains before cleaning. Use a dry microfibre cloth to dust the crystal beads. For more thorough cleaning, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water is acceptable, but avoid soaking the metal frame or allowing water into the bulb sockets.
