Description
This is a plain round panel of frosted acrylic in opal white, finished at its centre with a small polished chrome detail that gives the face a focal point rather than a flat expanse of milk glass. It measures 50cm across and is very slim in section, so it reads as a soft disc of light rather than a bowl. The frosting spreads light evenly and takes the hard edge off a bare lamp, while the chrome centre picks up a little sparkle from the light passing around it. There is no wiring and no lamp of its own; the light comes from the fitting it serves.
Most people come to us for one of these as a replacement, where an original panel has cracked, yellowed with age or gone missing altogether, and we keep the larger diameters for exactly that reason. It also works as a change of look, swapping a dated diffuser on a serviceable ceiling fitting for something cleaner. The generous width suits hallways, landings, kitchens and bedrooms where a wide, quiet spread of light matters more than a decorative shape overhead. We would check the diameter and the centre fixing arrangement of your existing fitting before ordering.
Acrylic keeps the weight down and resists the yellow-edged brittleness of older plastics, and the polished chrome centre is the only bright note against the opal face. For cleaning, wipe the panel with a damp cloth and a drop of washing-up liquid, then dry it; solvents, spirits and scouring creams will haze acrylic permanently, so keep them well away. It carries a one year warranty. The same diffuser comes in smaller diameters, and the centre detail is also offered in satin nickel, antique brass and black, along with a version with no centre detail at all, which is useful if you are matching several fittings in one house.

Frequently Asked
What size is this diffuser?
It is 500mm in diameter and 2mm thick, making it one of the larger panels in the range.
Does it come with a lamp or any wiring?
No. It is a non-electric accessory, so the lamp and the electrical parts belong to the ceiling fitting it sits in.
What is the panel made from?
Frosted acrylic in opal white, with a polished chrome detail at the centre.
How heavy is it?
About 0.34kg, so it is light for its 500mm width.
How should I clean it?
A damp cloth with a little washing-up liquid, then dry it off. Avoid solvent cleaners, white spirit and abrasive creams, all of which will permanently mark acrylic.
Are other centre finishes available?
Yes. Satin nickel, antique brass and black centre details are offered, as is a plain version with no centre detail.
