Llamas 9 Light Semi-Flush Ceiling Light - Gloss White

The Llamas is a 9 light semi-flush ceiling light with hand-forged metal arms arranged in curved, flowing shapes around a central bulbous core. Each arm terminates in a G4 bulb fitting (bulbs sold separately), with the entire structure finished in high-gloss white. The 960mm diameter and 450mm drop make this a substantial fitting suited to larger rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above.

Designed for living rooms, dining rooms and open-plan spaces where a semi-flush fitting is needed instead of a full pendant, the Llamas sits close enough to the ceiling to avoid head clearance issues while still providing the visual presence of a chandelier-style light. The gloss white finish reflects and multiplies the light from each G4 capsule bulb, increasing the overall brightness without adding more wattage. The semi-flush canopy fits standard UK ceiling roses and the fitting weighs 7.5kg once assembled.

Each of the nine arms curves outward from the central body in an asymmetric but balanced arrangement, giving the fitting a sculptural quality when viewed from different angles around the room. The tapered metal arms vary in thickness along their length, adding depth and movement to the design. The gloss finish shows fingerprints during installation, so handle with cotton gloves until the fitting is mounted and the bulbs are fitted.

The Llamas uses G4 capsule bulbs up to 20W each, totaling a maximum load of 180W across all nine fittings. Halogen G4 capsules are the traditional choice for this fitting, but check compatibility if using LED G4 alternatives — the manufacturer notes the fitting is not compatible with all LED and CFL G4 types due to transformer limitations. The fitting is dimmable when paired with a trailing-edge dimmer and compatible halogen bulbs.

What bulbs does the Llamas take?

The fitting takes nine G4 capsule bulbs up to 20W each, sold separately. Halogen G4 capsules are recommended. The manufacturer notes the fitting is not compatible with all LED and CFL G4 types due to transformer limitations, so contact us before pairing with LED G4 bulbs to confirm compatibility.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 450mm drop from ceiling to the lowest point of the fitting works best in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. In rooms with 2.3m ceilings the fitting will sit approximately 1.85m above floor level, which may feel low in circulation areas.

Is the Llamas dimmable?

Yes, when paired with a trailing-edge dimmer and compatible halogen G4 bulbs. LED G4 bulbs may not dim smoothly or may flicker depending on the specific LED model and dimmer compatibility.

What size room does it suit?

The 960mm diameter makes this a substantial fitting suited to rooms of 20m² or larger. In smaller rooms the fitting may dominate the space. The nine-light configuration provides enough brightness for primary lighting in living rooms and dining rooms when paired with 20W halogen capsules.
