Description
The Phostis is a 750mm diameter semi-flush ceiling light built around a large white metal canopy from which hundreds of smoked glass spheres cascade on fine metal wires, creating a dense cloud of reflective beads below the ceiling. An integrated 61W LED module inside the canopy casts 3000K warm white light through the spheres, which catch and refract the light across the room. The fixture sits approximately 200mm below the ceiling line, making it suitable for rooms with ceiling heights of 2.6m or above.
Designed for large living rooms, dining areas and entrance halls where both ambient light and decorative presence are needed, the Phostis provides diffused illumination without requiring recessed fittings or major structural work. The semi-flush mounting means the fitting installs to a standard ceiling rose or junction box, with the canopy concealing the electrical connection. The 750mm diameter covers a significant ceiling area, so the fixture works best in rooms of 20-30m² or larger where the scale is proportional to the space.
Each smoked glass sphere is suspended on a separate wire at a different drop length, creating an irregular cascading effect rather than a uniform curtain. The density of spheres increases towards the centre of the canopy, giving the fixture a focal point directly below the ceiling rose. The white metal canopy provides a clean contrast against both white and coloured ceilings, while the smoked glass spheres soften the overall appearance compared to clear or chrome alternatives. The integrated LED is dimmable when paired with a compatible trailing-edge dimmer, allowing the light level to be adjusted from full output down to a low ambient glow.
The IP20 rating limits the Phostis to dry indoor locations. The fixture carries a 5-year manufacturer warranty from Ideal Lux, covering both the LED module and the construction. Installation requires competent electrical work to connect the mains supply and support the fixture's weight, which is concentrated at the ceiling rose fixing point.

Frequently Asked
Is the Phostis dimmable?
Yes. The integrated 61W LED is dimmable when paired with a compatible trailing-edge dimmer switch. Dimmer compatibility depends on the specific dimmer model, so check compatibility before installation or contact us for dimmer recommendations.
What ceiling height is required?
The fixture sits approximately 200mm below the ceiling line. For comfortable clearance in rooms with regular ceiling heights, a minimum room height of 2.6m is recommended. Higher ceilings (3m+) give the cascading glass spheres more visual space.
Can the glass spheres be removed for cleaning?
The spheres are individually wired and removing them requires disconnecting each wire from the canopy, which is not practical for routine cleaning. Dust can be removed with a soft brush or low-suction vacuum attachment while the spheres remain in place. Switch off the mains supply before cleaning.
What size room does the 750mm diameter suit?
The 750mm canopy diameter works best in rooms of 20-30m² or larger, such as open-plan living/dining areas, large bedrooms, or entrance halls. In smaller rooms the fixture can visually dominate the ceiling.
