Nordic Glass Ball Ceiling Light | Semi Flush Mount In Smoke Grey or Amber Tinted Glass Shades

A glass ball is the softest way to light a small room. The light comes through tinted glass rather than out of a bare fitting, so the source is visible but never harsh, and the globe itself glows as an object on the ceiling. This Marlow Vane semi flush mount keeps the drop short, which is what makes it work in a hallway or a room without much height.

There are two shapes and two glass tones. The taller version stands twenty nine centimetres deep on a twenty five centimetre width and reads more like a small pendant. The shorter version is seventeen centimetres deep and sits almost against the ceiling. Smoke grey gives a cool, slightly architectural cast, while amber is warmer and suits timber, brick and older houses.

Buy it now and measure your ceiling height first, because the difference between the two depths decides whether the fitting looks intentional or in the way. This is a hardwired fixture and should be installed by a qualified electrician to local electrical code, with the circuit isolated at the breaker first. Clean the glass only once the fitting has fully cooled, using a soft dry cloth rather than a spray, which can streak tinted glass badly.
