Bolla 2 Light Semi-Flush Ceiling Light - Brushed Nickel

Description

Description
The Hinkley Bolla is a 489mm diameter semi-flush ceiling light with a frosted glass bowl shade suspended from two curved brushed nickel arms. The arms sweep up from a central ceiling rose, each terminating in a ball finial before curving back down to support the glass shade from opposite sides. The fitting takes two E27 bulbs (sold separately) and projects 356mm from the ceiling, making it suited to rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above where a full pendant would hang too low.

Designed for entrance halls, dining rooms and bedrooms where ceiling clearance is limited but ambient light is still needed, the Bolla provides general illumination without the drop of a pendant fitting. The frosted glass bowl diffuses light evenly across the room rather than creating hotspots, while the brushed nickel finish on the metalwork softens reflections and pairs with both warm and cool interior palettes. The semi-flush design sits close enough to the ceiling to avoid head clearance issues but far enough out to distribute light effectively.

The curved arms and ball finials give the Bolla a sculptural profile when viewed from the side, creating visual interest in rooms where the fitting is seen from multiple angles such as staircases or open-plan spaces. The brushed nickel finish is a mid-tone satin that sits between polished chrome and antique brass, working comfortably in transitional, contemporary and classical interiors. The glass shade measures approximately 380mm across and the frosting is dense enough to conceal the bulbs while still allowing the light to pass through.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Bolla take?

The fitting takes two E27 (Edison screw) bulbs up to 60W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED bulbs between 8-12W and 2700K-3000K for ambient room lighting.

Is it suitable for low ceilings?

Yes. The 356mm projection makes the Bolla suitable for ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. The semi-flush design sits closer to the ceiling than a full pendant, avoiding head clearance issues in hallways and bedrooms with standard UK ceiling heights.

Is the Bolla dimmable?

Dimmer compatibility depends on the bulbs you choose. If you fit dimmable LED or halogen E27 bulbs and pair the fitting with a compatible dimmer switch, the light output can be controlled. The fitting itself has no built-in dimming function.

What finish is the metalwork?

The arms, ball finials and ceiling rose are finished in brushed nickel — a mid-tone satin finish that sits between polished chrome and antique brass. The brushing gives a low-sheen surface that minimises reflections under daylight.
