Reiko Dome Flush Ceiling Light with Wood Base - Matt Black

The Reiko is a dome ceiling light in matt black, an aluminium shade set beneath a natural ash wood base. It fixes flush to the ceiling with no stem, so the whole fitting is just 16cm tall and 21cm across, with an 11.5cm ash base at the top. The dome is a smooth, rounded bowl that opens downwards and sends its light down into the room from one E27 lamp holder. That standard screw cap takes a wide choice of lamps, from a warm glow to a crisper white, so you can set the mood of the room.

Because it keeps so close to the ceiling, it is a sound choice for rooms where the ceiling is low and a hanging light would get in the way: a hallway, a landing, a bedroom or a box room under the eaves. The modern, Scandinavian pairing of black metal and pale wood sits just as comfortably in a living room, a dining area or a home office. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry rooms only. It runs on 220-240V mains and is controlled on and off from an ordinary light switch rather than a dimmer, which keeps things simple.

We like how honest the construction is: an aluminium shade in a matt black finish, topped by a base of natural ash, so the grain of real wood sits right against your ceiling. It carries a 3 year guarantee, and as a mains fitting it is for a qualified electrician to install. For styling, let the ash pick up oak floorboards, rattan, linen and pale timber furniture, and let the black dome echo black picture frames, door handles or a black table lamp elsewhere in the room. Fitted in a row down a long hallway, a few of them give a calm, even rhythm overhead.
