Description
Our Rio 9 flush ceiling light sets three rounded dome shades in a neat row beneath a long, flat backplate, the whole fitting finished in warm terracotta. The domes are smooth and deep, with open rims facing down into the room, and the slim plate keeps everything close to the ceiling. It is built on an iron structure and has a clean, modern outline with no fuss or ornament. It has a GX53 lamp holder, so choose a lamp with a GX53 cap, and it runs on 220-240V mains. It is not a dimmable fitting: it works from a standard on-off wall switch.
Because it fixes flush to the ceiling, with no stem, it is a good answer for rooms where headroom is limited: a landing, a hallway, a loft bedroom or a living room with a low ceiling. Its long, linear shape also lines up well over a dining table, along a corridor or above a desk in a study. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry rooms only. The terracotta finish brings an earthy warmth that sits happily with natural wood, rattan, linen, cream or white walls and plenty of green plants, and it works in a modern home as well as one with a softer, more relaxed feel.
The iron structure gives the fitting a firm frame, and the terracotta colour runs across the backplate and all three domes for a single, unbroken look. As a mains fitting, it is for a qualified electrician to install. It carries a 3 year guarantee. For styling, centre it over a dining table or a sideboard so the row of domes follows the line of the furniture, and let the terracotta pick up warm tones elsewhere in the room, such as a clay pot, a wool throw or a timber floor.
