Description
The Willowmere is a large flush ceiling light, 400mm across with a shallow 160mm projection, which makes it one of the closer fitting options for a low ceiling. The shade is multicoloured Tiffany-style leaded glass in a metal frame, lit by two 60W E27 GLS bulbs; bulbs are supplied separately. Individually cut panels are joined with lead, so the colour sits in the glass and the pattern is readable when the light is off. At 2.2kg it is light for its size. It is Class 1 and requires an earth.
Where a pendant is out of the question, a flush mount takes its place. At 400mm with only 160mm of drop, the Willowmere works in a hallway, on a landing, in a bedroom under sloping eaves or in a living room with a low ceiling, and it clears wardrobe doors and beams that a hanging fitting would catch. Two bulbs give a general level of light for a whole room. It suits cottages, older flats and loft conversions, and anyone who wants pattern overhead without losing head height.
The metal frame holds the glass so the panels take no strain, and the low weight keeps fixing simple. Dust it with a dry soft cloth or brush, use a barely damp cloth on marks, and dry the lead lines afterwards. Solvents, ammonia-based glass sprays and abrasive creams should be kept away. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms. Fit dimmable bulbs with a compatible dimmer if you want to lower the level. Willowmere pendant, wall light and table lamp options run the same glass, which makes a hall and landing easy to match.

Frequently Asked
How close to the ceiling does it sit?
The projection is just 160mm with a 400mm diameter, which is about as close as a leaded glass ceiling light of this width gets.
What is the shade made of?
Multicoloured leaded glass in the Tiffany style, cut into panels and joined with lead, set into a metal frame.
Which bulbs does it need?
Two 60W E27 GLS bulbs, not included. Dimmable bulbs on a compatible dimmer will let you drop the level for evenings.
Will it fit under sloping eaves?
The shallow 160mm projection makes it a good choice for loft rooms, eaves bedrooms and anywhere a hanging fitting would be in the way.
How do I clean it?
A dry soft cloth or brush for dust, a barely damp cloth for marks, then dry the lead lines. Keep solvents and abrasive creams away.
Can it go in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms such as halls, landings, bedrooms and living rooms.
