Ninette 4 Light Flush Ceiling Light - Black Shade with Antique Brass

The Ninette is a 600mm flush ceiling light with a black fabric drum shade held by an antique brass cross-bracket frame. Four E27 bulb fittings sit inside the shade, with a white diffuser lining that softens the light before it reaches the black outer fabric. The lower edge of the shade follows a wave-contoured profile that adds sculptural depth without compromising the 270mm overall height needed for low-ceiling rooms.

Designed for living rooms, bedrooms and hallways with ceiling heights of 2.3m or lower, the flush-mount construction sits close to the ceiling while still delivering four-bulb output across the room. The antique brass cross-bracket is visible through the semi-translucent fabric when the light is on, creating contrast between warm metal and dark fabric. The 600mm diameter suits rooms from 12-20m² where a single central light provides the primary illumination.

The black fabric outer shade combined with the white inner diffuser creates layered light output: warm ambient glow spreads upward and outward through the white liner, while the black exterior grounds the fixture visually and prevents harsh glare in the room below. The antique brass finish on the frame and ceiling rose has a soft patina that pairs well with both warm wood tones and cooler grey or white interiors. At 3.8kg, the fitting needs secure ceiling fixings into a joist or ceiling batten.

What bulbs does it take?

The Ninette takes four E27 (Edison screw) bulbs, sold separately. Most users choose 6-8W warm-white LED bulbs at 2700K-3000K for living rooms and bedrooms, giving a combined output of 24-32W equivalent to approximately 200-250W of traditional incandescent light.

Is it suitable for low ceilings?

Yes. The 270mm flush-mount height suits rooms with ceiling heights of 2.3m or lower. The fitting sits close to the ceiling while the 600mm diameter provides sufficient light spread for a typical 12-20m² room.

Can it be dimmed?

Yes, when paired with dimmable E27 bulbs and a compatible trailing-edge dimmer. The dimmer must be rated for LED if using LED bulbs. Dimmer compatibility varies by bulb brand, so check the bulb specification before pairing.

What ceiling fixings are needed?

At 3.8kg, the Ninette requires secure fixings into a ceiling joist or mounted batten. The ceiling rose has fixing holes for two or three screws. On plasterboard-only ceilings without access to joists, use heavy-duty plasterboard anchors rated for at least 5kg each.
