Description
A round opal globe sits tight against a satin nickel plate, open at the mouth so the light falls downwards as well as glowing through the shade. At 15cm across, it is a small fitting by design, reading as a neat disc on the ceiling rather than something that pulls the eye. It takes an E27 lamp of up to 20W, and it will dim if you pair a dimmable lamp with a suitable dimmer.
Low ceilings are where it earns its place: a hallway, a landing, the top of a narrow stairwell, a box room where a hanging shade would be in the way. It is one we reach for when a pendant would sit too low over a doorway or a bed. The opal shade keeps the lamp softened, so it is comfortable in a bedroom or a small study where you look up at the ceiling more often than you think. Keep it to dry rooms indoors; a shower room or a covered porch asks for something sealed.
The metalwork carries a satin nickel finish, quiet rather than bright, and it sits happily alongside brushed switch plates and chrome ironmongery. Shade and plate both stay clean with an occasional wipe: a soft cloth over the globe once the lamp has cooled, and a barely damp cloth on the nickel rather than any cream or spray polish. It carries a one year warranty. We stock the same open mouth globe in polished chrome and in antique gold, with green, smoke and iridescent shades among them, so a set of these can be run through several rooms without repeating the same finish. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
How much room does it need on the ceiling?
It measures 150mm in diameter and stands 90mm deep, so it occupies little more than the span of a hand.
Which lamp should I use?
An E27 lamp rated up to 20W. An LED capsule or golfball style suits the shade well, and the choice of lamp shape will change how much of the globe glows.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided you fit a dimmable lamp and a compatible dimmer. Neither the lamp nor the dimmer comes with the fitting.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which makes it right for dry rooms such as hallways, bedrooms and landings rather than bathrooms or anywhere exposed to damp.
How heavy is it?
Around 0.9kg complete, without a lamp fitted.
What warranty does it come with?
It carries a one year warranty from the manufacturer.
