Ophelia 9 Light Crystal Semi-Flush Ceiling Light - Polished Chrome

The Ophelia is a 500mm square semi-flush ceiling light combining a central column of cascading crystal strands with a rectangular polished chrome frame and nine G9 bulb positions. The crystal strands form a vertical curtain around the central support, with additional vertical crystal rods bordering the outer chrome frame. A frosted glass diffuser sits beneath the crystal assembly, filtering the light from the nine G9 bulbs into a diffused ambient glow.

Designed for rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above where a full pendant drop would encroach on headroom, the Ophelia's 540mm overall height positions the bulk of the crystal detail close to the ceiling plane while maintaining a 50cm square visual presence. The fixture suits entrance halls, dining rooms and larger living spaces where overhead decorative lighting is needed without compromising floor-to-ceiling clearance. The 7.8kg weight requires fixing directly to a joist or ceiling rose rated for the load.

Each crystal strand and rod is individually hung, catching ambient daylight and magnifying the output from the nine G9 bulbs when lit. The polished chrome finish on the frame and ceiling plate reflects the crystal facets, multiplying the sparkle effect across the room. The frosted glass diffuser prevents direct glare from the bulbs while allowing the crystal surround to remain the primary visual feature. The rectangular frame measures 500mm on each side, giving the fitting a square footprint rather than the circular profiles common in traditional crystal ceiling lights.

The Ophelia is dimmable when paired with dimmable G9 LED bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch, allowing the light level to be adjusted from bright task lighting to a low ambient setting for evening use. The crystal configuration shows the influence of contemporary European lighting design, with clean geometry taking precedence over traditional tiered chandelier structures.

What bulbs does the Ophelia take?

The fitting takes nine G9 capsule bulbs, each rated up to 33W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with G9 LED bulbs between 3-5W and 2700K-3000K warm white for dining and living spaces.

Is it suitable for low ceilings?

The Ophelia has a 540mm overall height, making it suitable for ceilings from 2.4m upwards where a full pendant would sit too low. The semi-flush design keeps the crystal detail close to the ceiling plane while maintaining visual impact.

Can it be dimmed?

Yes, when fitted with dimmable G9 LED bulbs and paired with a compatible LED dimmer switch. Dimmer compatibility depends on the specific bulb and dimmer models used.

How is the crystal maintained?

Switch off and allow the bulbs to cool fully before cleaning. Wipe individual crystal strands and rods with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. For stubborn marks, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water is acceptable, but avoid soaking or using household sprays that may leave residue on the chrome or frosted glass.
