Fabula Catherine Semi-Flush Light - Matt Black & Antique Brass - IP65

A Hexagonal Glow for a Covered Porch

The Catherine sits close to the ceiling with a matt black domed top over an open hexagonal grid finished in antique brass, so light spills out through the geometric pattern rather than shining straight down. A single lamp sits inside a clear glass globe at its centre, and the contrast between the flat black top and the warmer brass grid gives the fitting real character even before it's switched on.

Choosing Your Finish

This one pairs matt black with antique brass, a combination that reads as warm without being fussy. The same Catherine design is also made in other colour and metal combinations across the range, including black and gold or brass throughout, so there's room to match it to nearby fittings or hardware.

How It Works

A single E27 bulb, up to 20W, sits behind the glass globe at the centre of the fitting and isn't included, so you can pick the type that suits you. It's Class I electrical, so it needs an earth connection at installation, and it's fully dimmable when used with dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer. Rated IP65, it's protected against water jets from any direction and brief immersion, which is a high enough rating for both bathroom use and covered outdoor spots.

Where It Works Best

Built for outdoor use, the Catherine suits a covered porch, veranda or outdoor ceiling where it's sheltered from direct, driving rain but still exposed to the weather generally. Thanks to its IP65 rating, it also works in bathroom zones 1 and 2, so it can go beside a mirror or above a vanity unit. Our guide to bathroom lighting zones explains exactly what each zone covers if you want the full detail before you buy.

Design Details

A die cast aluminium dome sits above an iron grid frame finished in antique brass, with the six sided shape chosen over a plain round dome to add more visual texture and to break the light up as it passes through. Inside, a clear acrylic globe softens the bulb's direct glare before it reaches the open brass grid, so the light that escapes through the pattern is diffused rather than harsh.
