Description
The Orbis Small is a 500mm semi-flush ceiling light built around a single ring of natural Spanish alabaster, mounted to the ceiling on three brushed brass cylindrical fixings. An integrated LED concealed within the ring casts warm 3000K light through the stone, so the alabaster itself glows from within rather than acting as a shade over a visible bulb. The fitting projects 160mm from the ceiling, giving it a low overall profile.
The semi-flush format makes the Orbis Small a practical choice for ceilings of 2.4m or lower, where a hanging pendant would feel intrusive. It suits hallways, landings, compact bedrooms, kitchens and reading corners that need ambient light without a long drop. The three-point brushed brass mount fixes directly to the ceiling and accepts standard UK wiring; the alabaster ring sits below the mounts on short brass stems, leaving a small gap between stone and ceiling that allows light to wash upward.
Each alabaster ring is cut from natural Spanish stone, so the cloudy veining and tonal variation differ between individual pieces — no two Orbis Small fittings look identical when lit. The 500mm diameter suits rooms of around 8-14m², and the warm 3000K colour temperature pairs well with timber floors, plaster walls and warm-toned interiors. The brushed brass mounts soften reflections and complement both contemporary and more traditional schemes.

Frequently Asked
Is the Orbis Small suitable for low ceilings?
Yes. The fitting projects only 160mm from the ceiling, making it well-suited to rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or lower where a hanging pendant would feel intrusive. It works in hallways, landings, compact bedrooms and kitchens.
Does it come with a bulb?
The LED is integrated into the ring rather than using a replaceable bulb. It runs on 230V mains at 3000K (warm white), so no separate bulb purchase is needed.
What size room does the 500mm version suit?
The 500mm ring suits rooms of approximately 8-14m² as a single ambient source, or larger rooms when paired with additional task or accent lighting. For larger open-plan areas, the larger Orbis sizes or multiple fittings may be more appropriate.
How is the alabaster cleaned?
Alabaster is porous and softer than marble. Wipe gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth. Avoid household sprays, polishes and chemical cleaners, which can mark or stain the stone. For more stubborn marks, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water is acceptable.
