Lumen 10 Light Semi-Flush Ceiling Light - Gold & Matt Black

The Lumen is a 10-light semi-flush ceiling light with matt black curved arms radiating from a polished gold central mount, each arm ending in a polished gold G9 socket encased in a clear glass sphere. The 79cm diameter and 56cm drop create a sculptural silhouette that works on ceilings from 2.4m upwards, delivering ambient light without requiring the ceiling height of a full pendant.

Designed for living rooms, dining rooms and entrance halls where ceiling height limits the use of chandeliers or deep pendants, the Lumen provides multi-directional light spread from ten individual sources. The staggered arm arrangement creates visual depth when viewed from different angles in the room, and the glass spheres diffuse the G9 bulbs (sold separately) to reduce glare while maintaining brightness. The semi-flush mount sits close to the ceiling, leaving approximately 2m headroom clearance in standard 2.6m ceiling spaces.

The matt black arms introduce visual weight and contrast, while the polished gold sockets and central plate add warmth and act as accent points when the light is on or off. The dual-tone finish pairs well with industrial, mid-century and contemporary interiors, especially those using black metal frames, brass hardware or warm timber finishes elsewhere in the room. At 3.7kg the fitting needs secure fixing to a ceiling joist or reinforced rose, but the weight is distributed across the 79cm span rather than concentrated at a single point.

The clear glass spheres encase the G9 bulbs, so bulb choice significantly affects the appearance when lit. Warm-white LED G9s (2700K-3000K) soften the industrial character and emphasise the gold finish, while cooler daylight LEDs (4000K+) accentuate the matt black frame and suit more modern or Scandinavian-styled rooms. Each of the ten sockets draws independently, so the fitting can be paired with a dimmer switch if compatible G9 dimmable LEDs are used.

What bulbs does the Lumen take?

The fitting takes ten G9 capsule bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED G9s between 3-5W each and 2700K-3000K colour temperature. The clear glass spheres do not heavily diffuse the bulbs, so choosing LED G9s with a frosted capsule or filament-style LEDs improves the appearance when lit.

Is it suitable for low ceilings?

Yes. The 56cm drop from ceiling to lowest point makes this a semi-flush fitting rather than a pendant, so it works in rooms with 2.4m ceiling heights and above. In a 2.6m ceiling space it leaves approximately 2m headroom clearance beneath the lowest glass sphere.

Can it be installed on a sloped ceiling?

No. The arms radiate horizontally from the central mount, so the fitting is designed for flat ceilings only. Installing on a slope would cause the arms to hang at uneven angles.

What installation support is needed for the 3.7kg weight?

The fitting should be mounted to a ceiling joist or a reinforced ceiling rose capable of supporting 3.7kg safely. The weight is distributed across the 79cm diameter rather than concentrated at a single point, but the central mount still needs secure fixing to prevent strain on the ceiling rose over time.
