Solid brass, exposed E27 — compact flush mount, shade-compatible, 7 finishes
At H8.5cm and Ø10cm, this is one of the most compact flush ceiling fittings in the range — it sits very close to the ceiling and takes up minimal visual space. The ridged brass gallery holds the E27 bulb exposed by default, but is also compatible with a range of shades if you want to diffuse or redirect the light. This makes it a versatile base fitting: use it bare for an industrial or vintage look, or add a shade for a softer, more traditional result. Seven finishes give genuine variety — Polished Copper and the two Chrome options (Polished and Satin) are less common in this category and suit specific interior palettes. Dimming requires a trailing edge dimmer switch (not a standard leading edge dimmer) — confirm this with your electrician before installation. CE, UKCA, and UL certified. IP20 rated; dry indoor use only. Hardwired; professional installation required.
Works well in hallways, landings, small bedrooms, or as a utility ceiling light in a kitchen or bathroom anteroom. The compact size means it can be used in multiples across a larger ceiling without looking cluttered. The shade-compatible gallery also makes it a good base for a custom look — pair it with a fabric or glass shade to change the character of the fitting entirely.

Common questions
What shades are compatible with this fitting?
+
The ridged gallery is designed to accept standard shade rings and compatible ceiling shades. Look for shades with a gallery or ring fitting that matches the Ø10cm base. Contact us if you need guidance on compatible shade options from our range.
Why does this require a trailing edge dimmer?
+
Most modern LED bulbs work best with a trailing edge (also called leading edge off or electronic) dimmer switch. A standard leading edge (or resistive) dimmer can cause flickering, buzzing, or reduced dimming range with LED bulbs. Confirm the dimmer type with your electrician before installation.
Which finish should I choose?
+
Antique Brass and Satin Brass suit warm, traditional interiors. Polished Brass is high-shine and classic. Polished Copper adds warmth with a distinctive industrial character. Polished Chrome and Satin Chrome work well in contemporary or minimalist spaces. Antique Silver sits between brass and chrome — cooler than brass but warmer than chrome.
Does this need a qualified electrician to install?
+
Yes. This is a hardwired ceiling fitting — it connects directly to your ceiling wiring with no plug. A qualified electrician is required for safe installation and to confirm the correct dimmer switch type.
Can this light be used in a bathroom or outdoors?
+
No. This fitting is IP20 rated — suitable for dry indoor areas only. It is not suitable for bathrooms, wet rooms, or any outdoor use.
