Marden 3 Light Semi-Flush Bathroom Ceiling Light - Matt Black

The Marden is a three light semi-flush ceiling light built with bathrooms in mind, its glass and steel construction finished in matt black. It measures 395mm across and projects 175mm down from the ceiling, so it sits close overhead rather than hanging low. Each of the three arms takes a G9 lamp, and the whole fitting carries an IP44 rating, so it copes comfortably with steam and the odd splash of water.

A semi-flush design like this suits bathrooms with a standard ceiling height, from a family bathroom to an ensuite or a slightly larger cloakroom. Three lamps spread an even, ambient light across the room rather than one single pool, which helps with everything from shaving at the mirror to finding a towel in the middle of the night. Matt black reads as understated rather than heavy, so it sits comfortably in a modern scheme or against classic white metro tiles.

We finish the Marden in matt black rather than a high shine, so fingerprints and water marks show far less and it needs only a wipe with a dry, soft cloth to keep it looking right. It is fully dimmable with compatible dimmable lamps and a suitable dimmer switch, so you can bring the room down to something softer for an evening soak rather than leaving it at full brightness. Steel and glass keep the build straightforward and easy to live with, and the same matt black finish runs through the wider Marden range if you would like to match fittings elsewhere in the home.

Will the Marden suit a small bathroom or just a large one?

At 395mm across, it works well as the main light in an average family bathroom or ensuite. Its 175mm projection is fairly shallow, so it won't crowd a smaller room or a lower ceiling.

Which bathroom zones is the Marden suitable for?

With an IP44 rating, it's suitable for zone 1 and zone 2, so it can go above a bath or shower, or near a basin. It should not be fitted inside zone 0, within the bath or shower enclosure itself.

What bulbs does it take, and are they included?

It takes three G9 lamps, which are not included. A warm white LED G9 lamp is a good match, giving a soft light while keeping heat and running costs down in a small room.

Is the Marden dimmable?

Yes, it's dimmable when paired with dimmable G9 lamps and a compatible dimmer switch, so you can turn the room down for a quieter, more restful feel in the evening.

How do I keep the matt black finish looking good?

Wipe it over occasionally with a dry or barely damp soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, and always switch off and allow the fitting to cool before cleaning.
