Description
The Malia is a 403mm diameter semi-flush ceiling light with three E14 bulb fittings set within a polished nickel drum frame, surrounded by cascading smoked crystal glass droplets suspended on delicate chains. The polished nickel reflects ambient light and daylight, while the smoked crystal adds depth and tonal variation as individual facets catch and refract light from different angles.
Designed for rooms with ceiling heights between 2.4m and 2.7m where a full chandelier would hang too low, the Malia provides decorative lighting without dominating vertical space. The 343mm fitting height positions the crystal droplets approximately 300mm below the ceiling rose, making it suitable for dining rooms, bedrooms, entrance halls and living rooms where overhead clearance matters. The semi-flush mount fits standard UK ceiling roses and distributes light both downwards through the crystal and upwards off the ceiling surface.
The smoked crystal glass is cut with faceted edges that create prismatic light scatter when the bulbs are lit, producing subtle rainbow reflections across walls and ceilings in natural daylight. The polished nickel frame contrasts with the darker-toned crystal, giving the fitting presence even when switched off. Each E14 socket accepts bulbs up to 60W, allowing flexibility to choose warm white LEDs for softer ambient light or brighter output for task lighting over a dining table.
From Feiss, part of the Generation Lighting portfolio, the Malia balances traditional crystal chandelier styling with the practicality of a ceiling-mounted fitting. The polished nickel finish pairs well with cooler-toned interiors, greys, whites and contemporary furnishings, while the crystal droplets introduce a decorative accent without the formality of a full tiered chandelier.

Frequently Asked
What ceiling height is needed for the Malia?
The 343mm fitting height works best in rooms with ceiling heights between 2.4m and 2.7m. In rooms with ceilings above 2.7m, a pendant chandelier may provide better visual proportion. The fitting projects approximately 300mm below the ceiling rose once installed.
What bulbs does it take?
The Malia takes three E14 small Edison screw bulbs, maximum 60W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm white LED candle bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K-3000K for ambient dining or bedroom lighting.
Is it suitable for low ceilings?
Yes. The semi-flush design keeps the fitting close to the ceiling, making it suitable for rooms where a full chandelier would hang too low. The 343mm height provides decorative crystal detail without requiring the clearance that a suspended chandelier would need.
How is the crystal cleaned?
Switch off and allow bulbs to cool. Wipe the smoked crystal droplets with a dry microfibre cloth to remove dust. For fingerprints or marks, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water is acceptable. Avoid soaking the crystal or using chemical glass cleaners, which can leave residue on the faceted surfaces.
