Maddison 6 Light Square Crystal Flush Ceiling Light - French Gold

The Maddison is a 420mm square flush crystal ceiling light built around a French gold metal frame supporting cascading tiers of cut crystal prisms in mixed rectangular and square profiles. Six G9 bulb fittings (bulbs sold separately) sit behind the crystal curtain, with light refracting through the faceted glass to produce layered reflections across walls and ceilings.

Designed for rooms with ceiling heights between 2.3m and 2.6m where a traditional pendant would hang too low, the 280mm drop from ceiling to lowest crystal sits comfortably above head height in hallways, bedrooms, dining rooms and reception areas. The flush mount fixes directly to a standard UK ceiling rose without requiring additional suspension hardware. The square footprint provides broader light distribution than circular flush fittings of similar wattage, with the six bulbs arranged symmetrically around the frame.

The French gold finish on the frame is a warmer, slightly antiqued tone compared to polished or brushed brass, reading closer to old gilt than bright yellow gold. Each crystal prism is individually hand-set onto the frame, with the mixed lengths creating a waterfall effect when lit. The fitting weighs 8.1kg installed, requiring secure fixing into ceiling joists or appropriate plasterboard anchors rated for the load. The G9 fittings accept halogen or LED capsule bulbs up to 33W each, with dimmer compatibility depending on the specific bulb chosen.

Is the Maddison suitable for low ceilings?

Yes. The 280mm drop from ceiling to lowest crystal point suits rooms with ceiling heights between 2.3m and 2.6m, where a traditional pendant would hang too low. The flush mount configuration keeps the fitting close to the ceiling while still providing the visual presence of cascading crystal.

What bulbs does it require?

The Maddison takes six G9 capsule bulbs up to 33W each, sold separately. Most users choose warm-white LED G9 bulbs between 3W and 5W at 2700K-3000K for ambient lighting. Halogen G9 bulbs are also compatible but run hotter and consume more energy.

Is it dimmable?

Dimming capability depends on the bulbs chosen. If using dimmable LED G9 bulbs, the fitting can be controlled by a compatible LED dimmer switch. Non-dimmable bulbs will not dim regardless of switch type.

How is the fitting installed at 8.1kg weight?

The 8.1kg load requires secure fixing into ceiling joists or appropriate plasterboard anchors rated for the weight. Standard UK ceiling roses may need reinforcement. Installation by a qualified electrician is recommended to ensure safe load distribution and electrical connection.
