Prilmarne 6 Light Ceiling Light - Black & White

The Prilmarne is a six light ceiling light made from a cluster of drum shades in different sizes, each one black fabric on the outside with a white diffuser across its base. It measures 99cm across and stands 28.5cm high, so it covers a generous stretch of ceiling while sitting close to it. The body is white steel, and each of the six shades takes an E27 bulb of up to 40W. The bulbs are not included, which leaves the brightness and colour temperature entirely your choice. It is rated IP20, which settles where it can go: indoors, in dry rooms, away from bathrooms and outdoor spaces.

With its width and six points of light, we think this ceiling light suits a living room, a large bedroom or a dining area where a single small shade would look lost. The black and white pairing sits comfortably against grey or white walls and works in modern and Scandinavian rooms alike, while the white diffusers spread the light across the base of each shade rather than leaving a bare bulb in view. Because the shades sit at different depths, the cluster has a sculpted, layered look even with every bulb unlit, giving a plain ceiling real character during the day as well as at night.

The body is steel and the shades are fabric, so a soft, dry duster run over them now and then keeps the black fabric looking crisp. There is no switch on the light itself, because it is switched at the wall, and it runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains. As a wired-in fitting, it should be installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions come as a download. Packed, it weighs 5.041KG, and we suggest having a second pair of hands ready when it arrives.

No. There is no switch on the light itself, because it is switched at the wall using the light switch in your room.
