Description
Opal white glass sits in a satin nickel rim and holds tight to the ceiling, a shallow round dome about 22cm across. The glass spreads light evenly, giving a soft wash across a room rather than a hard bright point, and nothing hangs down into head height. It sits close enough to read as part of the ceiling rather than an object hung on it, which is rather the point of a flush fitting. It takes an E27 lamp, with 20W the ceiling for what you fit, and dimming is possible where lamp and dimmer are chosen to suit.
Low ceilings are where this earns its place: hallways, landings, box rooms, a cloakroom, the top of a stair where anything longer would be in the way. It is rated for splashes, so a bathroom or shower room is fair game too, and it suits a utility or a porch ceiling for the same reason. We keep it in satin nickel and satin black, and we would put a warm white GLS lamp in it for hallway use, since the opal glass takes the glare off the source and leaves the light gentle.
The shade is glass in opal white, and the metalwork carries a satin finish with a quiet sheen that does not show fingermarks the way polished chrome will. For cleaning, wait until the lamp is cold, then wipe the glass with a barely damp cloth and dry it off; nothing abrasive, and no spray cleaner near the fitting. It carries a one year warranty. Larger diameters are made in the same range, in both finishes, if you want more spread over a wider hall. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What size lamp does it take?
One E27 lamp, up to 20W. An LED GLS (A60) shape is the sensible choice and keeps the heat down inside the opal glass.
Can it be used in a bathroom?
Yes. It is IP44 rated, which covers splashing, so it is suitable for bathrooms, shower rooms and other damp spots such as a utility or covered porch.
How much space does it need below the ceiling?
Very little. The fitting is 215mm in diameter and stands 100mm deep, so it stays well clear of head height even in a low hallway.
Is it dimmable?
It can be dimmed, but only with a dimmable lamp and a compatible dimmer switch. Fit both and you get smooth control; fit neither and it simply runs on and off.
Does it need an earth?
Yes, it is a Class 1 fitting and requires an earth connection at the ceiling point.
How should the glass be cleaned?
Let the lamp cool completely, then use a barely damp soft cloth and dry the glass straight after. Avoid abrasive pads and spray cleaners.
