Modern Brass & Glass Flush Mount | CLBB8501

The Modern Brass & Glass Flush Mount is a small, round ceiling light: a smooth frosted glass shade on a brass base. It measures 19 cm (7.5″) across and 18 cm (7.1″) high. It is sized for an entryway, hallway, landing, closet or bedroom, and for standard 2.4 m (8 ft) ceilings where a pendant would feel too large.

The glass

The shade is smooth frosted glass. The frosting hides the lamp and turns it into a soft, even glow across the whole shade. The brass base holds the shade close to the ceiling and gives a warm band of metal between the ceiling and the glass.

Why warm light matters

Frosted glass takes on the colour of the lamp inside it. At 2700K the shade glows a soft ivory that makes an entry or hallway feel welcoming; cooler light makes it look grey and clinical. On this piece, warm white is part of the design.

Sizing and placement

At 19 cm (7.5″) wide, it suits an entryway, a hallway, a landing, a walk-in closet or a small bedroom of up to about 3 × 3 m (10 × 10 ft). In a long hallway, use a series spaced about 2 to 2.5 m (6.5 to 8 ft) apart. With an 18 cm (7.1″) profile, it works on ceilings from about 2.3 m (7.5 ft).

Mounting

The brass base fixes directly to the ceiling, with the shade held just below it.

The light

The frosted shade gives a soft, ambient light that spreads around the space rather than a direct downlight. It is a light for passing through and arriving; in a kitchen or at a desk, add task lighting.

Lamping and installation

E27, E14 or E26 lamp base. Warm white LED at 2700K. Bulbs are not included. The fixture weighs about 1.5 kg (3.3 lb). It is hardwired; have it installed by an electrician.

Care

Switch off and let the lamp cool. Dust the glass with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a damp microfibre cloth and a little mild glass cleaner applied to the cloth. Wipe the brass with a soft dry cloth only, with no metal polish.

Made to order

Every piece is made to order. Dimming is available on request.
