Nordica LED Flush Ceiling Light 3000K 60W - Black

The Nordica is a 900mm diameter LED flush ceiling light with a black fabric shade wrapped around an opal white polycarbonate diffuser, housing an integrated 60W 3000K LED that produces 4200 lumens. The shallow 200mm height sits close to the ceiling, making it suitable for standard 2.4m ceiling heights and rooms where a pendant would intrude into headroom.

Designed for living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms and open-plan spaces of 18-25m², the Nordica provides general ambient light rather than directed task lighting. The black fabric shade absorbs most of the LED output from the sides, allowing the majority of the 4200 lumens to exit through the opal diffuser at the base, creating a soft downward wash across the room without harsh shadowing. The 60W LED at 3000K sits in the warm white spectrum, comparable to halogen or traditional incandescent bulbs.

The black fabric outer shade shows a fine woven texture when viewed up close but reads as a solid matt black from floor level. The opal diffuser underneath glows evenly when the light is on, creating a floating disc effect against the darker outer drum. At 7.9kg the fitting requires secure fixing to a ceiling joist or reinforced plasterboard anchor, not just a standard plaster ceiling rose. The LED is non-dimmable and non-replaceable — when the LED reaches end-of-life the entire unit needs replacing.

Is the Nordica dimmable?

No. The integrated LED is rated at a fixed 60W output and is not compatible with dimmer switches. The light operates at full brightness when switched on.

What room size does it suit?

The 4200lm output suits living rooms, bedrooms or dining rooms of approximately 18-25m². For larger open-plan spaces or kitchens needing higher lux levels, consider pairing with additional task lighting or using multiple ceiling lights.

Can the LED be replaced when it fails?

No. The LED is integrated into the unit and non-replaceable. Mantra provides a 3-year warranty on the fitting. LED lifespan typically exceeds 20,000 hours (approximately 10-15 years of typical domestic use), after which the entire fitting would need replacement.

What fixing is required for the 7.9kg weight?

The fitting must be fixed securely to a ceiling joist or ceiling batten, or using heavy-duty plasterboard anchors rated for at least 10kg. A standard plastic ceiling rose anchor is not sufficient for this weight.
