Ninette 4 Light Flush Ceiling Light - Ivory White

The Ninette is a 600mm flush ceiling light with an ivory white fabric shade stretched over an antique brass frame that sits 270mm from the ceiling surface. Four E27 bulbs (sold separately) sit inside the shade behind a white diffuser disc, casting soft ambient light downwards and outwards through the fabric. The shade's lower edge follows a gentle scalloped wave, creating subtle texture around the perimeter.

Designed for bedrooms, hallways, dining rooms and any room with ceiling heights below 2.4m where a pendant would hang too low, the Ninette provides ambient light without visual clutter. The flush-mount canopy fixes directly to a standard UK ceiling rose, keeping the entire fitting within 300mm of the ceiling plane. The 600mm diameter provides adequate spread for rooms up to 4m square when paired with four warm-white LED bulbs at 8-10W each.

The ivory fabric is a natural off-white linen weave that diffuses light evenly while maintaining some texture under daylight. The antique brass frame shows a warm aged patina rather than a bright polished finish, pairing well with both traditional and transitional interiors that avoid high-contrast modern metallics. The combined fabric, brass frame and internal diffuser give the fitting a substantial 3.8kg weight, requiring secure ceiling fixings into joist or plasterboard anchors rated for the load.

Is the Ninette dimmable?

Yes, when paired with dimmable E27 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. The fitting itself has no dimming electronics, so dimmer compatibility depends entirely on the bulbs you choose. Most dimmable LED E27 bulbs work with standard trailing-edge dimmers.

What bulbs does it take?

The Ninette takes four standard E27 (Edison screw) bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED bulbs at 2700K-3000K and 8-10W per bulb for ambient bedroom or dining room lighting. The fitting has no maximum wattage restriction listed, but LED bulbs are recommended for heat management.

What ceiling height does it suit?

The 270mm projection from ceiling to base of shade makes the Ninette suitable for ceiling heights from 2.2m upwards. In rooms with ceilings below 2.4m, a flush or semi-flush fitting like this is often the only practical option for central ceiling lighting without a pendant hanging into head space.

Can the fabric shade be cleaned?

The ivory linen weave can be dusted gently with a soft brush or dry microfibre cloth. For stains, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water is acceptable, but avoid soaking the fabric and do not use household sprays or detergents, which may discolour the natural fibre or leave residue.
