Searchlight Nova 5 Light Ceiling Lamp - Black with Frosted Glass Shade

A sculptural take on ceiling lighting

The Nova ceiling lamp gathers five spiral textured glass globes around a matte black frame, each shade catching and softening the light in a different direction. It sits close to the ceiling rather than hanging down, so it works in rooms where you want a strong lighting moment without losing headroom.

Black frame, frosted glass shades

The arms and ceiling plate are finished in matte black metal, with a slightly curved silhouette that gives the fitting movement even before the lights are on. Each of the five shades is frosted, ribbed glass, which diffuses the bulb inside into a soft, even glow rather than a single bright point. It pairs naturally with black door furniture, dark trim or brass and wood accents nearby.

How It Works

• Fitted flush to the ceiling with a round black mounting plate
• Takes 5 x E14 golf ball bulbs, around 4W LED (40W incandescent equivalent), not supplied
• Dimmable when used with compatible dimmable bulbs and a suitable dimmer switch
• Metal frame with frosted, spiral textured glass shades
• Fitted by a qualified electrician to a standard ceiling rose

Where It Works Best

At 56cm wide and 30cm high, Nova suits rooms with a standard to low ceiling where a pendant would hang too far down. Living rooms, dining areas, bedrooms, kitchens and hallways all give it enough space to spread its five arms and cast light around the room rather than down a single beam.

Good to Know

• Bulbs are not included, so you can pick the colour temperature and brightness you prefer
• IP20 rated, so it's intended for standard dry indoor rooms rather than bathrooms
• Comes with a 1 year warranty
• Wipe the glass shades and frame with a soft, dry cloth to keep them free of dust
• Check our returns policy on the delivery and returns page for full details
