Elstead Cheadle 3 Light Bathroom Semi-Flush Fitting - Polished Chrome

A period silhouette for the bathroom ceiling

Cheadle brings three curved arms of light to a bathroom ceiling, its shape drawn from Edwardian brass fittings rather than anything you'd call modern. The arms sweep out from a central column low enough to work as a semi flush fitting, so it suits bathrooms where headroom is tight but a plain downlight would feel flat.

Polished chrome finish

The frame is finished in a bright polished chrome, with turned detailing at each joint and shade holder that catches the light even before a bulb is switched on. Three opal glass shades sit on top, diffusing the light back out softly so the fitting still reads as decorative when it's off.

How It Works

Three G9 bulbs sit inside the opal glass shades, giving a fuller spread of light across the room than a single pendant would manage, useful in a bathroom where you want decent light at the mirror as well as general illumination. The shades lift off individually for bulb changes, and the whole fitting sits close enough to the ceiling to clear a standard bath or shower without becoming an obstacle.

Where It Works Best

Cheadle suits bathrooms with a period or traditional scheme, particularly alongside roll top baths, panelled walls or other older style sanitaryware where a plain modern downlight would look out of place. It's rated IP44, so it's also suitable for use in the bathroom, see our guide to bathroom lighting zones for which zone it can be fitted in.

Elstead Lighting

Elstead is a British lighting group and distributor whose name traces back to The Elstead Forge in Alton, Hampshire, and the business is still led by the Lucas family today. Cheadle is built around the same traditional casting the group uses across its bathroom range, so a matching single or twin arm wall light can sit alongside this ceiling fitting with the same turned detailing.

Questions People Ask

Is the Cheadle semi flush light suitable for a bathroom? Yes. It's rated IP44, which makes it suitable for use in the bathroom. See our guide to bathroom lighting zones to check which zone it can be fitted in.

Are the bulbs included with Cheadle? No. It takes three G9 bulbs, 3W LED specified, which are sold separately.

Is the Cheadle light dimmable? Yes, as long as you fit dimmable G9 bulbs. A non dimmable bulb won't dim even on a dimmer switch circuit.

How much headroom does the Cheadle need? It's a semi flush fitting with an overall drop of 41cm from the ceiling, so it suits bathrooms without much height to spare rather than a room built for a hanging pendant.
