Description
The Trosmessa is a flush LED ceiling light made of four curved arms that cross over one another above a square black canopy. Each arm is edged in black and carries a white plastic diffuser along its length, so the light reads as a set of soft white strokes against the ceiling. The body is steel and plastic in a black finish. It measures 40cm long, 40cm wide and 7.5cm high, so it sits close to the ceiling without dropping into the room. The LEDs are integrated, drawing 20W and giving 600lm of light at 4000K. It is rated IP20, which means it belongs indoors, in a dry room.
Because it hugs the ceiling, the Trosmessa suits rooms where a pendant would get in the way: a dining room with a lower ceiling, a hallway, a landing or a bedroom. At 4000K the light is a neutral white. It is clear enough for laying a table, reading a recipe or picking out clothes in the morning, without the blue edge of a cooler light. The crossed arms spread that light across the ceiling rather than from a single point, giving an even wash over a dining table or a bed. In a pale room the black frame draws a crisp outline, and against darker paint the white diffusers carry the shape.
There is no switch on the light: it is switched at the wall, and as it is not dimmable, it pairs with a standard on and off switch rather than a dimmer. It runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains and carries an energy class of E. As a hard-wired mains light, it is installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions come as a PDF download. Packed, it weighs 0.77KG. With the LEDs integrated, there is no bulb to buy or replace, so once it is fitted, the only job left is flicking the wall switch.

Frequently Asked
Can the Trosmessa go in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which means it is made for dry indoor rooms such as a dining room, bedroom, hallway or living room, never a bathroom or anywhere outdoors.
Is the Trosmessa dimmable?
No, it is not dimmable. It has no switch of its own and is switched at the wall, so it works with a standard on and off wall switch.
How bright is the light, and what colour is it?
The integrated LEDs draw 20W and give 600lm at 4000K, a neutral white that keeps a dining table or a bedroom clear and bright.
How big is the Trosmessa?
It is 40cm long, 40cm wide and 7.5cm high, so it sits close to the ceiling and suits rooms where a hanging light would feel too low.
Does it need a bulb?
No. The LEDs are integrated, so there is no separate bulb to buy or choose, and the four arms light together from the wall switch.
What material are the body and diffusers?
The body is steel and plastic in a black finish, and the diffusers along each arm are white plastic, giving a crisp black and white look.
