Fabula Tamworth 3 Light Telescopic Semi Flush - Round Shades with Inner Frosted Globes - French Gold, Smoked & Frosted Glass

Warmth That Darkens Gracefully at Night

Smoked glass combined with frosted inner globes creates a fitting that shifts in character between day and night. During the day it provides soft, diffused light, but once the sun sets and you switch it on, the smoked glass picks up warmth from the gold frame, creating a moodier, more intimate glow. The telescopic mount keeps it flush to the ceiling, making it ideal for rooms with limited headroom.

Choosing Your Finish

The partnership of smoked outer glass with frosted inner globes gives this fitting a sophistication that purely clear or frosted options can't match. The French gold frame grounds the whole composition in warmth, making the smoked glass read as an intentional design choice rather than just a tinting.

How It Works

Three G9 bulbs, each rated at 10W maximum, power the three shades. You can dim the light if you use dimmable bulbs with a compatible dimmer. Class I electrical standards apply, requiring an earth connection during installation. With an IP20 rating, this fitting is suitable for dry interior spaces only and shouldn't be used in bathrooms or damp areas.

Where It Works Best

Bedrooms and living rooms particularly suit this fitting, where the moody, warm character adds presence without being bright and clinical. Hallways benefit from the semi-flush mounting in spaces where ceiling height is constrained. Kitchens and dining rooms work equally well, especially where you want ambient evening lighting rather than bright task lighting.

Design Details

The three round shades sit within an iron frame, with the smoked glass adding a layer of visual complexity that changes depending on the light level. The frosted inner globes ensure the light spreads evenly and softly, while the combination of materials gives the fitting a crafted, considered quality that works across different interior styles.

Questions People Ask

What's the difference between smoked and frosted glass?
Frosted glass is white and opaque, diffusing light evenly. Smoked glass is tinted and semi-transparent, allowing light through but with a warm, amber tone that shifts based on the light level.

Does the smoked glass make the room feel darker?
Compared to clear glass yes, but the frosted inner globes still diffuse the light effectively. The smoked outer layer creates atmosphere rather than reducing brightness dramatically.

Why would I choose this over the all-frosted versions?
If you want warmer evening light and a moodier aesthetic, the smoked glass gives you that. If you prefer brighter, more neutral light, the all-frosted versions work better.
