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

Eight Lights, Close to the Ceiling

This semi flush fitting brings eight points of light close to the ceiling, arranged in a circle with cylinder shades that frame each bulb neatly. The french gold metalwork creates warmth, while the clear outer glass lets light through cleanly and the frosted inner layer softens it. It's a generously sized fitting at 84cm across, but because it sits nearer the ceiling rather than hanging down, it doesn't eat into room height or feel intrusive in spaces where pendant drops won't work.

Choosing Your Finish

The french gold here brings a classic warmth that suits both contemporary and more traditional schemes. This same fixture comes in other finishes across the range including polished chrome for a cooler edge and painted white for a softer, more neutral appearance, so you can match the metal tone to your existing decor.

How It Works

Eight G9 bulb holders sit within the cylinder shades, ready for bulbs up to 10W each. The fitting is wired to Class I standards and needs an earth connection during installation. It's fully dimmable when you pair it with dimmable G9 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch, letting you adjust the light from bright practical lighting to a gentle ambient glow. The telescopic design means you can adjust the drop from very close to the ceiling down to 82cm maximum, giving flexibility depending on your ceiling height and preference. The IP20 rating means it's for dry indoor spaces and shouldn't be exposed to moisture.

Where It Works Best

Because it sits close to the ceiling, this fitting works in any room where headroom or visual impact is a concern. It's equally at home in a living room, bedroom, kitchen, dining room or hallway, making it one of the most versatile options in the collection. Lower ceilings, smaller spaces, and rooms where you want general ambient light rather than a statement piece all benefit from this semi flush approach. The 84cm width means it covers a good area without overwhelming the space.

Design Details

The genius of cylinder shades is their simplicity. They hold each bulb cleanly without fussy decoration, and the mix of clear and frosted glass means light spreads evenly without harshness. The french gold frame brings cohesion to the whole composition, making eight separate bulb points feel like one unified design. Iron and glass combine to create something both substantial and refined, working at home in most aesthetic styles.

Questions People Ask

Will this work in a room with a low ceiling?
Yes, that's one of its strengths. Because it's a semi flush rather than a pendant, it doesn't hang down far. You can adjust it to hang very close to the ceiling or position it at different heights depending on your space and what feels right. It's a much better option than a large pendant if you're worried about headroom.

How does the telescopic function work?
It adjusts up and down so you can set the drop distance to suit your room. This means you have flexibility at installation to find the perfect height without being locked into one position.

Are the bulbs included?
No, the eight G9 bulbs come separately, which means you can choose the wattage and colour temperature that suit your room best.
