Description
The Rio is a compact flush ceiling light: a blue dome fixed close to the ceiling, with no stem, beneath a small round canopy. It is 17cm tall and 16cm across, and its canopy is 8cm across, so it sits neatly overhead without taking over the room. The structure is iron, finished in blue, and the dome is open at its base. It takes one GX53 lamp and runs on 220-240V mains. It is an on-off switched fitting, so it works from an ordinary wall switch rather than a dimmer. Its small footprint and rounded shape make it an easy, unfussy choice wherever you want a neat light close to the ceiling.
Because it fixes flush to the ceiling, the Rio suits rooms where headroom matters: a hallway, a landing, a bedroom or a study with a lower ceiling, where a pendant would hang too low. Its rounded, simple profile has a modern, Scandinavian feel, and the blue brings a calm note of colour to a plain white ceiling or a pale scheme. It works well as a single light in a smaller room, or repeated along a corridor for an even rhythm of colour. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry rooms only.
The iron structure gives the Rio a clean-lined body, and the blue finish runs over the dome and the canopy alike. It is a mains fitting for a qualified electrician to install, and it carries a 3 year guarantee. For styling, we like it against a white or soft grey ceiling, with natural wood, linen and other muted blues in the room. Pair it with crisp white walls for a fresh, simple look, or with warm terracotta and oak for a softer contrast.
