Reiko Dome Flush Ceiling Light with Wood Base - Matt White

The Reiko is a dome ceiling light that pairs a matt white aluminium shade with a base of natural ash wood. It fits flush to the ceiling, with no stem, so the rounded shade sits neatly overhead with the pale grain of the ash base showing between shade and ceiling. The whole fitting is 16cm tall and 21cm across, and the ash base is 11.5cm across. It takes one E27 lamp, the standard large screw cap, so you choose the warmth and brightness of the light yourself. The open underside of the dome directs that light down into the room.

Its modern, Scandinavian lines and compact size suit hallways, landings, bedrooms, studies and living rooms, anywhere a pendant would hang too low. At just 16cm tall it keeps headroom clear, which makes it a sensible choice for rooms with lower ceilings, and several in a row work well along a corridor or over a long dining table. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry rooms only. It is a switched, on-off fitting running on 220-240V, so it works from an ordinary light switch rather than a dimmer.

We like the honest mix of materials: an aluminium shade with a smooth matt white finish, set against the warmth of natural ash wood. As a mains fitting, it is for a qualified electrician to install, and it carries a 3 year guarantee. For styling, the pale ash sits happily with oak, birch or rattan furniture and white or soft grey walls for a calm Scandinavian room, while against a darker timber ceiling the white dome reads crisply as a clean, rounded shape. Spaced evenly along a hallway, a few of them give pools of light from one end to the other.
