Description
This is a plain frosted disc for the underside of a ceiling fitting, 40cm across and very slim in section, finished in opal white with a small antique brass detail at the centre. The acrylic is frosted right through, so it spreads light evenly and takes the glare off a bare lamp rather than tinting it. The brass centre gives the white face a point of focus and warms it a little. It is a non-electric part, so the lamp it works with is whatever the host fitting is built to take.
We reach for these when a diffuser has cracked, yellowed or gone missing and the fitting itself is perfectly sound. It is a common width for kitchen and hallway ceiling lights, and it suits landings, bedrooms and small home offices where a softer, wider wash reads better than an exposed lamp. The brass detail sits happily alongside brass or aged metal door furniture, and it is the one we would choose in a room with warm timber or painted panelling. Being light to hold, it is easy to lift down and put back when you want to clean it.
Moulded acrylic keeps the weight low and makes it less brittle than glass, and the white face stays consistent right across the disc. To keep it looking clear, wipe with a damp cloth and a drop of washing up liquid, then dry it off; abrasive creams and strong solvents haze acrylic, so keep them away from it. It carries a one year warranty. We stock the same diffuser in other diameters, and with the centre detail in polished chrome, satin nickel or black, plus a plain version with no centre detail at all, so a set of fittings in one room can be matched or deliberately mixed. No lamp comes with it, as that belongs to the fitting above.

Frequently Asked
What size is this diffuser?
It measures 400mm in diameter and is a thin panel, roughly 2mm thick, so it sits close under the fitting it serves.
Does it come with a lamp?
No. It is a non-electric accessory, and the lamp is chosen to suit the ceiling fitting it goes into.
What is the centre detail made to look like?
The disc is opal white acrylic with an antique brass centre boss, giving a warm metallic point in the middle of the white face.
How should I clean it?
A damp cloth with a little mild detergent, then dry with a soft cloth. Avoid scouring pads, abrasive creams and solvent cleaners, which will scratch or cloud acrylic.
Will it yellow over time?
Frosted acrylic can discolour eventually with heat and age, which is often why one gets replaced. Keeping to the lamp wattage the host fitting specifies helps it last.
Is this size available with a different centre finish?
Yes. We stock it with polished chrome, satin nickel or black centre detail, and as a plain disc with no centre detail.
