Fabula Tamworth 5 Light Telescopic Semi Flush - Tall Cylinder Shades - French Gold & Smoked Glass

Five Lights in French Gold, Adjustable to Your Ceiling Height

A five light semi flush fitting from the Tamworth collection, this ceiling fixture sits closer to the ceiling than a traditional pendant and features an adjustable telescopic frame in French gold with tall cylinder shades in smoked glass. The telescopic design means you can shorten the drop to suit lower ceilings or architectural constraints, making it practical for rooms where you want the visual impact of multiple lights without needing high ceilings.

Choosing Your Finish

French gold is a warm, slightly mellow metal finish that works across contemporary and transitional interiors. It's particularly suited to living spaces where you want a touch of warmth without the coolness of chrome or polished nickel. The smoked glass complements the warmth of the French gold, creating a cohesive and inviting aesthetic. Other finishes are available elsewhere in the Tamworth range if you prefer a different metal tone.

How It Works

Five G9 lamp holders are arranged around the telescopic frame, providing good light distribution across a central ceiling position. The fitting conforms to Class I electrical standards, requiring an earth connection during installation. IP20 protection covers dust and general indoor use but is unsuitable for damp environments. The telescopic frame allows adjustment of the drop height within the 82cm maximum range, making it adaptable to different ceiling heights without requiring rewiring. Dimming works when paired with dimmable G9 bulbs and a compatible dimmer.

Where It Works Best

As a semi flush, this works particularly well in rooms with standard or lower ceiling heights where a hanging pendant would feel too elongated or intrusive. Hallways, bedrooms, and living rooms benefit from the distributed light and the soft quality of the smoked glass glow. It can serve as the main light source in a bedroom or secondary lighting in a larger living area. The 60cm diameter gives good light spread across a moderate space.

Design Details

The defining feature is the adjustable telescopic frame, which makes this fitting practical as well as aesthetic. The tall cylinder shades in smoked glass contribute to the gentler light quality compared to transparent glass, while the French gold arms provide warmth and visual connection to the metal fixtures. The proportions are carefully balanced: enough arms and shades to read as a substantial fitting without feeling heavy or over scaled for a ceiling close mount.

Questions People Ask

What's the difference between a semi flush and a pendant?
A semi flush mounts much closer to the ceiling than a pendant, making it ideal for rooms with lower ceilings or where you want to minimize the visual drop. Pendants hang further down and need more ceiling height to work proportionally.

Can I adjust the drop after installation?
Yes. The telescopic frame is adjustable, so you can change the drop height to suit your space, up to the 82cm maximum. This needs to be done before installation is complete.

Will G9 bulbs work with a standard dimmer?
Only if you use G9 bulbs specifically marked as dimmable and pair them with a dimmer rated for that bulb type. Standard G9 bulbs won't dim.
