Solana 18 Light Semi-Flush Ceiling Light - Brass

The Solana is a 750mm semi-flush ceiling light built around a circular matt black canopy that suspends eighteen amber-tinted glass globes on satin brass tubular drops of varying lengths. Each globe houses a single G9 bulb (sold separately), creating a cascading cluster of light sources when viewed from below. The tubular brass drops extend from the canopy in a staggered arrangement, with some globes positioned closer to the ceiling plate and others hanging lower to form depth and visual interest.

Designed for rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above, the Solana suits dining rooms, entrance halls, and living rooms where both ambient and decorative lighting are needed. The semi-flush format positions the fitting closer to the ceiling than a full pendant, making it workable in spaces where a traditional chandelier would hang too low. The eighteen G9 bulbs deliver substantial combined output, typically 1,500-2,000 lumens when fitted with LED capsules, which is sufficient to serve as the primary light source for rooms up to 20-25m². The fitting is dimmable when paired with compatible G9 dimmable bulbs and a trailing-edge dimmer.

The satin brass finish on the tubular drops provides a warm metallic accent without the high reflectivity of polished brass, while the matt black canopy recedes against most ceiling tones. Each amber-tinted glass globe is individually hand-blown, so slight variations in size, tint depth and bubble distribution are present between globes — a characteristic of the blown-glass production method. The combined weight of the metal frame, canopy and eighteen glass globes requires secure ceiling fixing into a joist or ceiling plate capable of supporting approximately 6-7kg.

What bulbs does the Solana take?

The fitting takes eighteen G9 capsule bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this with G9 LED capsules between 2.5W-4W each and 2700K-3000K for warm ambient light. The total wattage depends on the specific G9 bulbs chosen.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, when fitted with dimmable G9 bulbs and paired with a compatible trailing-edge dimmer. The fitting itself supports dimming; bulb and dimmer compatibility must be confirmed separately.

What ceiling height is needed?

The Solana is a semi-flush fitting designed for ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. The brass tubular drops extend at varying lengths from the canopy, with the longest drops hanging approximately 400-500mm below the ceiling plate based on the image.

Do the glass globes vary between pieces?

Yes. Each globe is individually hand-blown, so slight variations in size, amber tint depth and internal bubble distribution occur between globes. This is a feature of the hand-blown production method, not a defect.
