Fabula Tamworth 8 Light Telescopic Semi Flush - Medium Cylinder Shades - French Gold & Frosted Glass

Generously Scaled Ceiling Light with Soft Frosted Glass

Eight lights emanate from an 82cm diameter semi flush fixture, delivering steady, even illumination that's neither harsh nor understated. Medium height cylinder shades in frosted glass soften the light output while allowing it to spread generously across the room. The French gold metalwork provides warmth throughout, and the adjustable telescopic mechanism means you can fine-tune the fitting's position to suit your ceiling height and preferences.

Choosing Your Finish

French gold is versatile enough to work with a wide range of decor schemes, from contemporary minimalism to more traditionally appointed interiors. The frosted glass diffuses and softens the light output in a way that feels approachable and liveable rather than cold or clinical. Should you prefer your ceiling fitting in a different finish from the Tamworth collection, other metals and glass treatments are available to match different colour palettes.

How It Works

Eight G9 lamp holders deliver light through frosted glass cylinder shades, each bulb rated for 10 watts maximum. The frosted finish ensures light is diffused in all directions rather than creating spotty bright areas. Class I wiring with a required earth connection is standard, and the IP20 rating means this fitting is designed for interior dry spaces only, away from moisture or water exposure.

Where It Works Best

This scale of fitting works well in bedrooms, living spaces and dining rooms where you want a strong overhead presence but not an overly formal chandelier aesthetic. The ability to adjust the telescopic drop gives you flexibility in positioning, whether you have generous ceiling height or prefer the fitting tucked closer to the ceiling. Hallways and larger kitchen spaces also benefit from the even light distribution across eight separate sources.

Design Details

Medium cylinder shades strike a balance between visual lightness and substantive presence. The combination of metal and glass creates an interplay of reflection and frosted diffusion that's more visually interesting than either material alone. The telescopic mechanism, while functional, remains visually discrete within the overall design.

Questions People Ask

What's the difference between the medium and short cylinder shades?
Medium shades are taller, extending further down from the frame, which changes the proportion and light distribution pattern. Medium shades offer a softer visual transition between frame and light.

How does the telescopic mechanism work?
You can adjust the drop after installation by loosening the hardware and sliding the frame up or down the suspension rods, allowing you to change the height as your needs evolve.

Is frosted glass better than clear?
That's a matter of preference. Frosted glass diffuses light softly and is more forgiving with dust, whereas clear glass gives brighter, sharper light output. Both are equally durable.
