Sophia 8 Light Crystal Flush Ceiling Light - Polished Chrome

The Sophia is an 8-light crystal flush ceiling light built on a 500mm polished chrome circular frame with cascading layers of cut crystal droplets and beads. Eight E14 bulb positions sit within the chrome ring, each surrounded by strands of precision-cut crystal that hang in a symmetrical pattern across a 325mm drop from ceiling to lowest crystal point. The crystals are a mix of teardrop pendants and cylindrical beads, machine-cut to refract light across multiple facets.

Designed for rooms with 2.4m or higher ceilings where a pendant would hang too low, the Sophia's flush mounting puts the chrome backplate directly against the ceiling rose with minimal projection. The 325mm drop gives the fitting presence without encroaching on head clearance in hallways, landings or bedrooms. In dining rooms and living rooms with taller ceilings, the flush mount allows the crystal to cascade visibly without the need for chain or rod suspension. The eight bulbs provide 360-degree illumination, with the chrome and crystal amplifying the light output through reflection and refraction.

The polished chrome finish is mirror-reflective, bouncing light from the bulbs and adding brightness to the overall fixture. The chrome ring weighs 7.5kg when fully assembled with all crystal strands attached, requiring secure ceiling fixing into a joist or rated ceiling anchor. Each crystal strand clips onto the chrome frame at fixed positions, giving a uniform cascade pattern that sits symmetrically around the circumference. The fitting accepts dimmable E14 bulbs (sold separately) up to 40W each, allowing total output to be adjusted for mood or task lighting depending on bulb choice and dimmer compatibility.

What bulbs does the Sophia take?

The fitting takes eight E14 (small Edison screw) bulbs, sold separately. Maximum wattage per bulb is 40W. Most users pair this with warm-white LED candle bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K-3000K for a warm glow through the crystal.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, provided you fit dimmable E14 bulbs and pair them with a compatible dimmer switch. The fitting itself supports dimming but relies on the bulbs and dimmer being matched correctly.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 325mm drop from ceiling to lowest crystal point means the fitting works in rooms with 2.4m ceilings or above. In hallways or bedrooms with 2.4m ceilings, the lowest crystals will sit at approximately 2.075m from the floor, leaving adequate head clearance.

How is the fitting secured to the ceiling?

The 7.5kg weight requires the chrome backplate to be screwed into a ceiling joist or a rated ceiling anchor capable of supporting the load. Standard plasterboard fixings are not sufficient for a fitting of this weight.
