Merbessa Flush Ceiling Light - Silver

Description

DescriptionThe Merbessa is a round flush ceiling light, 25cm across and 7cm deep, so it sits close to the ceiling rather than hanging down into the room. A white steel body carries a domed shade of satin glass. The shade is white at the centre with a silver outer band that gives the light its soft grey ring. It takes an E27 bulb at a maximum of 25W, and the bulb is not included, so you can pick the colour of light you prefer. Rated IP20, it belongs indoors in a dry room and never in a bathroom or outdoors.
Because it keeps so close to the ceiling, a flush light like this is a good answer wherever headroom matters: a hallway, a landing, a box room, a study or a bedroom with a lower ceiling. We think it earns its place most in the rooms people pass through every day. At 25cm across it is a neat size for a smaller room or a passage, where a wide fitting would crowd the space. The satin glass spreads the light across the whole dome, so you see an even, gentle glow rather than the bright point of a bare bulb. The white and silver colouring sits quietly against pale walls and alongside wood or painted furniture, so it settles into most homes without asking for attention.
Three small clear clips hold the glass shade to the steel body. There is no switch on the light itself, so it is turned on and off from your wall switch. It runs on a 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains supply, and as a wired-in mains light it is installed by a qualified electrician. Packed, it weighs 0.678KG. Glass wipes clean with a soft, dry cloth, so a quick dust now and then keeps the satin finish looking even.
