Description
The Marlgrove medium semi-flush is a three light ceiling fitting for rooms without the height for a hanging pendant. The Tiffany-style shade is 400mm across, built from cut pieces of multicoloured glass leaded into a metal frame, and it sits close to the ceiling on a short stem with a total projection of 315mm. Three E27 GLS bulbs up to 60W each give it plenty of output for a main light. It weighs 2.3kg and bulbs are supplied separately so you can pick the colour of light.
We find semi-flush fittings earn their place in bedrooms, hallways, landings and older houses where beams or low ceilings rule out a long drop. At 315mm deep it clears head height in a corridor while still reading as a proper light rather than a plain flush plate. The three lamps mean it can light a bedroom or a small dining room on its own, and it is dimmable, so you can take it down low at night. It suits cottages, period homes and any room where you want warmth and pattern overhead.
Each shade is assembled by hand from individual pieces of glass, leaded and fitted to the frame, which is why the pattern varies a little between fittings. The metalwork is finished in a warm tone that sits quietly behind the colour. Keep it dusted with a dry soft cloth and use a barely damp cloth for marks, avoiding sprays and solvents near the leaded seams. It is IP20 for indoor rooms and a Class 1 fitting, so it needs an earth at the ceiling. Marlgrove pendants, wall lights and table lamps use the same glass if you want to carry it through a room.

Frequently Asked
What is a semi-flush ceiling light?
It mounts close to the ceiling on a short stem instead of a long suspension. This one projects 315mm, so it suits lower ceilings while keeping more shape than a fully flush fitting.
What is the shade made from?
Pieces of multicoloured glass, cut and leaded together by hand in the Tiffany-style method, held in a metal frame. Small variations between shades are part of the hand work.
How do I clean it?
Dust with a dry soft cloth or a soft brush. For marks, wipe with a barely damp cloth and dry it at once. Keep sprays, polishes and solvents away from the lead between the glass pieces.
How many bulbs and what type?
Three E27 screw bulbs in a GLS shape, up to 60W each, not included. Fit matching bulbs across all three lamps so the shade lights evenly.
Will it work in a low room?
Yes. At 315mm projection and 400mm across it is designed for ceilings that cannot take a pendant, including hallways and rooms with beams.
Does it need an earth connection?
Yes, it is a Class 1 fitting and must be earthed at the ceiling. It is rated IP20, so keep it to dry indoor rooms.
