Fabula Wordworth 8 Light Semi-Flush Light - Polished Nickel & Smoke Glass

Bright Ceiling Light in Cool Metallic Tones

This 8 light semi flush from the Wordworth collection pairs a polished nickel frame with smoke tinted glass, creating an sophisticated finish with cool, silvery metalwork balanced against soft, diffused light. The glass is moulded into triquetra shapes with grooves running along the length, and when lit, these grooves and ridges catch the light in subtle, constantly shifting ways. Mounted close to the ceiling rather than hanging on a chain, it is built for rooms where drop height is limited.

Choosing Your Finish

Polished nickel gives this fitting a contemporary, reflective quality that reads as fairly neutral in most lighting conditions. The smoke glass absorbs some brightness and softens the output. Together they create a looser, less formal feel than darker finishes would, though the nickel still brings enough visual weight to anchor a room. The same 8 light size is available in other finishes across the Wordworth range if you prefer a different aesthetic.

How It Works

Eight E27 tubular lamps sit within the glass shades, each able to take a maximum 20W bulb. The fitting is wired to Class I electrical standards, requiring an earth connection during installation. The IP20 rating means this is for dry interior use only, not suitable for bathrooms or any moisture prone environment.

Where It Works Best

The eight lights give this fitting enough output for larger rooms, so it suits hallways, dining rooms, or generous living spaces. Its semi flush design and polished nickel finish mean it works equally well in contemporary settings or more eclectic interiors where a mix of finishes is part of the design scheme. The smoke glass keeps the glow soft rather than glaring, making it pleasant for spaces where you spend time relaxing.

Design Details

The Wordworth design language emphasizes the interplay between solid frame and delicate glass. The polished nickel provides the structure and catches light across its surface, while the smoke glass diffuses the output from the bulbs inside. The triquetra moulding on each glass piece means the light comes through at different angles, breaking what could otherwise be a flat circular shape into something with genuine depth and visual interest. The overall effect is contemporary without being cold.

Questions People Ask

What is the difference between semi flush and a full pendant?
A semi flush sits close to the ceiling, usually mounting with a shallow fixture. A pendant hangs down on a chain or rod. Semi flush is better for rooms with lower ceilings or where you do not want the fitting to dominate the vertical space.

How many bulbs and what kind?
This takes eight E27 tubular bulbs, 20W maximum each, which are sold separately.

Is it dimmable?
Yes, if you use dimmable E27 tubular bulbs and have a compatible dimmer installed. Your electrician can advise on dimmer compatibility.
