Palma 3 Light Outdoor Semi-Flush Ceiling Light - White

The Palma is a 3-light outdoor semi-flush ceiling light built around three overlapping petal-shaped opal white shades arranged on a matt white central mount. Each petal houses a single E27 bulb fitting (bulbs sold separately), and the sculptural form is designed by Santiago Sevillano for Mantra. The IP44 rating allows the fitting to be installed under covered outdoor areas—porches, verandas, pergolas—where it is protected from direct rain but exposed to occasional moisture.

Indoors, the Palma works as a statement ceiling light in hallways, kitchens and living spaces where ceiling height is sufficient to clear the 280mm projection. The semi-flush mount sits close to the ceiling, making it suitable for rooms with 2.4-2.7m ceilings where a full pendant would hang too low. The opal white shades diffuse light in all directions, providing ambient illumination rather than focused task light. The 550mm width suits medium to large rooms; a 4m hallway or a 5m kitchen island can accommodate the span without the fitting dominating.

The matt white finish on both the mount and the opal shades gives the fitting a monochromatic presence that pairs cleanly with white, grey and pastel-toned interiors. The petal arrangement creates a three-dimensional form that looks sculptural when unlit and casts soft overlapping shadows when lit. The E27 sockets accept standard LED, halogen or filament bulbs, allowing flexibility in colour temperature and brightness depending on the room use. Warm white LEDs at 2700K suit residential interiors; cooler 4000K LEDs work for functional spaces like utility rooms or garages.

What does IP44 mean and where can this be installed outdoors?

IP44 means the fitting is protected against splashing water from any direction. It can be installed under covered outdoor areas like porches, verandas and pergolas where it is sheltered from direct rain. It cannot be installed in fully exposed outdoor positions.

What bulbs does it take and are they included?

The Palma takes three E27 (Edison screw) bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this with LED bulbs between 6-10W per socket. Warm white LEDs at 2700-3000K suit residential interiors; cooler 4000K LEDs work for functional spaces.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, provided you use dimmable bulbs and pair them with a compatible dimmer switch. LED bulbs require LED-compatible dimmers. Check your dimmer's specification before purchasing bulbs.

What ceiling height is needed?

The fitting projects 280mm from the ceiling when mounted. For comfortable headroom, install in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. The semi-flush design keeps it closer to the ceiling than a full pendant would.
