Description
The Rio flush ceiling light is a single iron dome in a warm terracotta finish, fixed directly against the ceiling on a small round canopy with no stem. It stands 17cm tall and 16cm wide, with an 8cm canopy, so it is a compact fitting that keeps a neat line overhead. Its light comes from one GX53 lamp holder inside the dome, and the open base sends that light down into the room. The rounded profile is simple and solid, with a clean edge at the rim and nothing fussy about it.
Because it fixes flush to the ceiling with no stem, the Rio keeps headroom free, which makes it a sensible choice for hallways, landings, bedrooms and smaller living rooms. It is rated IP20, so it belongs in dry rooms only. The terracotta colour brings an earthy warmth that sits well with modern and Scandinavian interiors, pale timber, linen and white walls, and it gives a plain ceiling a soft point of colour without taking over the room. It works as well in a home office, a dressing area or a guest room.
The structure is iron, finished in terracotta from the canopy to the rim of the dome. It is a mains fitting running at 220-240V that works from an ordinary on-off wall switch rather than a dimmer, and it carries a 3 year guarantee. It takes a GX53 lamp, and a warm white one keeps the room feeling cosy. As a mains fitting, it is for a qualified electrician to install. For styling, we like a pair along a corridor or a single one centred over a bed, picking up its colour in a cushion, a rug or a terracotta plant pot nearby.

Frequently Asked
What bulb does the Rio flush ceiling light take?
It has one GX53 lamp holder, so it takes a single GX53 lamp, which sits inside the iron dome and lights the room from the open base.
How big is the Rio flush ceiling light?
It is 17cm tall and 16cm wide, with an 8cm canopy at the top that fixes directly against the ceiling.
Can I use it in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry rooms only, such as hallways, landings, bedrooms and living rooms.
Is the Rio ceiling light dimmable?
It is an on-off fitting, controlled by an ordinary wall switch, so it is not designed to be used with a dimmer.
Does it suit a room with a low ceiling?
Yes. It fixes flush against the ceiling with no stem, and at 17cm tall it takes up very little headroom in a room.
What is it made of, and does it carry a guarantee?
The structure is iron with a terracotta finish throughout, and the fitting carries a 3 year guarantee.
