Valparaiso 25 Light Ceiling Light - Gold

The Valparaiso is a large round ceiling light in gold, built around a gold-coloured steel ring that sits close to the ceiling. Beneath the ring, tier after tier of clear faceted glass drops steps inwards and downwards, tapering to a point at the centre, so light catches every cut edge of the glass. It measures 98cm across and 47cm tall. Inside are twenty-five E14 lamp holders, each taking a bulb of up to 40W. Bulbs are not included, leaving the colour of the light your choice. It is rated IP20, so it belongs indoors in a dry room.

At 98cm across, this is a ceiling light for a generous room: a dining room with a long table, a large living room, a grand hallway or an entrance where it greets you at the door. Because it fixes straight to the ceiling rather than hanging from a chain or rod, it gives the full glitter of a tiered chandelier in rooms where a long drop would crowd the space. The clear glass picks up the gold of the body, so the whole piece glows warm whenever the lamps are lit, and it scatters points of light across the ceiling. It suits a home where one generous light anchors the room.

The body is steel with a gold-coloured finish, and the drops are brilliant glass, cut with facets that break the light into points. There is no switch on the fitting itself: it is controlled from your wall switch, and it runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains. As a wired-in mains light, it is installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions come as a download. Glass gathers dust, so wipe the drops gently with a soft dry cloth, one tier at a time, with the lamps unlit and cool. The packed weight is 63KG, so plan on a second pair of hands when it arrives.
