Description
The Sismanne is a flush ceiling light built around an open, faceted cage of black steel wire, fixed to a round wooden mount that sits against the ceiling. The cage is wider than it is tall, measuring 45.5cm in diameter and 20.5cm high, so it brings a good sense of scale without hanging low over your head. It takes a single E27 bulb in a standard screw fitting, which leaves you free to choose the colour and brightness of light you want. The bulb is not included. It is rated IP20, which means it is made for dry rooms indoors, away from bathrooms and anywhere water may reach.
Because it sits close to the ceiling, the Sismanne works well in rooms where a pendant would feel in the way: a hallway, a landing, a bedroom or a living room with a standard ceiling height. The mix of black metal and natural wood suits industrial, modern and rustic interiors alike, and the black wire reads clearly against a pale ceiling. With the bulb in plain view through the open cage, the choice of bulb becomes part of the look, so it pays to pick one you are happy to see. When lit, the wire frame throws a geometric pattern of shadow across the ceiling, adding interest even in a simple room.
The frame is steel and the ceiling mount is wood, and the whole light weighs 0.88KG, so it is easy to handle while it is being fitted. There is no switch on the light itself; it is controlled from your existing wall switch, and it runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains. As a wired-in mains light, it should be installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions come as a download. Have an E27 bulb ready before the electrician arrives, so the room has light the moment the work is finished.
