A Decorative Ceiling Light That Earns Attention Rather Than Demanding It.

The glass rods surrounding the antique brass frame do not scatter the E27 source dramatically. They carry the light softly through each rod and diffuse it as a gentle, warm glow. Subtle is exactly right for a bedroom or hallway where the quality of light matters more than the quantity. At 335mm tall and 170mm across the proportions are intentional: tall enough to register as decorative from across the room, compact enough not to overreach in a narrow hallway or above a bedside position. The antique brass frame is warm and aged, belonging alongside blush walls, aged oak and golden hardware. Dimmable, which in a bedroom is not optional. Class 1 fitting requiring an earth connection.

The Details That Make This More Than Simply Decorative

  • Clear glass rods on antique brass frame: Glass rods arranged around the E27 source to diffuse light softly through each rod rather than transmitting it directly.
  • Dimensions: 170mm (W) x 170mm (D) x 335mm (H): Taller than wide. Compact footprint with vertical presence. 1.79kg.
  • Dimmable, 10W LED E27: Standard dimmer compatible. E27 screw-fit. Bulb not included.
  • Antique brass plated steel: Warm, aged tone. Natural alongside blush, ivory, ochre and warm neutral palettes.
  • IP20, Class 1, 220-240V: Standard interior rooms only. Class 1 requires an earth connection.
  • Material: Steel, Glass, Brass: Multi-material construction contributing to the warm, settled quality of the whole.

Rooms Where the Brief Is Beautiful Light, Not Just Enough of It

A bedroom where the ceiling fitting needs to complete a palette of blush plaster, aged oak and brushed gold without overpowering any of it. A hallway with warm ivory walls where the vertical form gives the ceiling something decorative to hold onto. A dressing room where warm, flattering light is the entire brief. A guest bedroom where a considered ceiling fitting signals that the space was genuinely thought about. This fitting belongs in rooms where character and the quality of evening light matter. For how atmospheric light anchors a complete interior, our cinema room design guide covers the approach.

Some Statements Are Made Quietly. This Is One of Them.

Not every room needs a ceiling light that commands attention from across it. Some need one that repays it. A bedroom at the end of an evening, a hallway you pass through every day: these rooms benefit more from a fitting genuinely beautiful up close. At 170mm across and 335mm tall, this belongs to that first category. Clear glass rods arranged around the antique brass frame catch the E27 source within and diffuse it softly through each rod, creating gentle warmth rather than a broad spread.

The glass rods are clear, meaning the diffusion is soft rather than full: the source is still present as a warm, visible glow inside the formation, filtered through the glass before it reaches the room. The antique brass frame gives the whole piece its material character: a warm, aged finish that settles naturally alongside blush plaster walls, aged oak furniture, brushed gold hardware and the kind of considered bedroom palette where every object has been chosen for how it feels in the evening light. The proportions are specific to the brief the fitting is answering. Tall and relatively narrow, it occupies the ceiling zone with a verticality that looks genuinely decorative from below rather than like a ceiling fitting trying to cover ground. At 1.79kg it is a solid, well-made piece. Class 1 fitted, meaning an earth connection is required.

Dimmable: the difference between a fitting that contributes to a room and one that transforms it. At full brightness the glass rods carry the E27 source cleanly. Pull the dimmer back and each rod holds a softer amber glow. For a bedside lamp in the same warm register, the natural seagrass pendant provides an organic note alongside. For building a bedroom scheme around warm materials and considered light quality, our boho bedroom design guide covers the approach.

What Glass Rods at 170mm Do That a Larger Formation Simply Cannot

  • The compact formation creates gathered warmth, not broad diffusion. At 170mm across the glass rods concentrate the E27 source into a warm column.
  • The glass rods diffuse the source rather than simply transmitting it. Each rod catches the light at a different angle, producing a softer warmth than a plain shade.
  • The vertical proportions give the fitting a presence its footprint does not. At 335mm tall and 170mm wide, it occupies the ceiling with visual weight above its physical spread.
  • The antique brass ages into the room rather than sitting on top of it. Warm and settled, belonging in rooms built around warmth and carefully chosen objects.
  • The dimmer gives the glass rod column two entirely different qualities. Full brightness for function; a lower setting for evenings when the glow through each rod is the point.
  • The compact scale suits almost any ceiling area. At 170mm across it works in rooms where a larger fitting would dominate.

What Happens to Light When It Travels Through a Glass Rod, Not Around One.

A glass shade surrounds the source and light exits in all directions. A glass rod carries it along its length while also dispersing it outward. Each rod holds a slightly different angle to the source, so the glow looks layered rather than flat. Not a fitting that announces itself. One that makes the room feel better lit in a way that rewards attention rather than demanding it.

The Rooms Built Around Exactly This Quality of Light

A bedroom with blush walls, aged oak and golden hardware. A hallway where the vertical silhouette gives the ceiling something to hold onto. A dressing room. A guest bedroom where a decorative ceiling fitting signals genuine attention. Antique brass and clear glass rods belong in interiors with warmth and details that reward attention. IP20 means standard interior rooms only.

Before You Order

  • Bulb not included. Takes E27 screw-fit LED. A warm filament E27 at 2700K gives the most atmospheric result through the clear glass rods, producing the amber warmth the fitting is designed to deliver.
  • Class 1: earth connection required. Confirm your ceiling wiring includes an earth wire before installation. Class 1 fittings are not suitable for two-core wiring without an earth.
  • Confirm the dimensions suit the ceiling position. 170mm wide, 335mm tall. A compact, vertically oriented fitting. Measure the intended ceiling position to confirm both footprint and drop sit comfortably in the room.

Brass Glass Rod Decorative Ceiling Light: Your Questions Answered

What does "glass rods" mean for how the light actually looks?

Clear glass rods are arranged vertically around the central E27 source. Each rod diffuses the light softly as it passes through before releasing it into the room. The result is a gentle glow where the source is visible through the rods but softer than through a plain shade. The fitting glows from within rather than projecting a beam.

How is this different from the larger brass glass rod fitting in the range?

The CL988G is up to 737.5mm across with two concentric rings of glass rods designed to fill a large ceiling dramatically. This fitting is 170mm across and 335mm tall: compact, vertical, and designed for intimate spaces. The light quality is softer and more gathered, suited to bedrooms and hallways.

What bulb gives the best result through glass rods?

A warm filament E27 at 2700K or lower. The bulb is visible through the rods, and a filament bulb creates an amber glow that gives the fitting its most atmospheric quality. A cool white LED illuminates clearly but produces a harder quality through the glass. Bulb not included.

What rooms and interior styles does this suit?

Warm-toned bedrooms with blush plaster walls, aged oak and brushed gold hardware. Hallways with warm wall colours and parquet flooring. Dressing rooms where warm, flattering light is the brief. Antique brass sits less comfortably in cool or minimal rooms where its warmth will feel at odds. For how to layer a bedroom with warm materials and the right ceiling light, the classic glass touch table lamp pairs naturally at bedside level in the same considered register.

Is the dimmable function worth using in a bedroom?

Yes. Full brightness for reading or getting dressed; a warm lower setting for evenings. Check your dimmer is LED-compatible first as older dimmers can cause LEDs to flicker at lower settings.

What does Class 1 mean for installation?

Class 1 requires an earth connection. Standard in most modern UK properties but may not be present in older two-core wiring. Confirm before purchasing.

Can it go in a bathroom?

No. IP20 means it is suitable for standard interior rooms only. Bathrooms and en-suites require a higher IP rating and this fitting is not suitable for those environments.

Is 170mm wide enough to look deliberate on a bedroom ceiling?

Yes, because the 335mm height gives the fitting a presence above its footprint. The vertical proportion looks like a designed object from below rather than something small trying not to be noticed. In a standard UK bedroom 170mm is appropriately scaled. For a very large or high-ceilinged room a larger fitting would be more appropriate.

What are the full dimensions and weight?

170mm wide, 170mm deep, 335mm tall. Total weight 1.79kg. Steel, glass and brass construction. 10W LED E27, dimmable, 220-240V, Class 1, IP20.

Clear glass rods are arranged vertically around the central E27 source. Each rod diffuses the light softly as it passes through before releasing it into the room. The result is a gentle glow where the source is visible through the rods but softer than through a plain shade. The fitting glows from within rather than projecting a beam.

How is this different from the larger brass glass rod fitting in the range?

The CL988G is up to 737.5mm across with two concentric rings of glass rods designed to fill a large ceiling dramatically. This fitting is 170mm across and 335mm tall: compact, vertical, and designed for intimate spaces. The light quality is softer and more gathered, suited to bedrooms and hallways.

What bulb gives the best result through glass rods?

A warm filament E27 at 2700K or lower. The bulb is visible through the rods, and a filament bulb creates an amber glow that gives the fitting its most atmospheric quality. A cool white LED illuminates clearly but produces a harder quality through the glass. Bulb not included.

What rooms and interior styles does this suit?

Warm-toned bedrooms with blush plaster walls, aged oak and brushed gold hardware. Hallways with warm wall colours and parquet flooring. Dressing rooms where warm, flattering light is the brief. Antique brass sits less comfortably in cool or minimal rooms where its warmth will feel at odds. For how to layer a bedroom with warm materials and the right ceiling light, the classic glass touch table lamp pairs naturally at bedside level in the same considered register.

Is the dimmable function worth using in a bedroom?

Yes. Full brightness for reading or getting dressed; a warm lower setting for evenings. Check your dimmer is LED-compatible first as older dimmers can cause LEDs to flicker at lower settings.

What does Class 1 mean for installation?

Class 1 requires an earth connection. Standard in most modern UK properties but may not be present in older two-core wiring. Confirm before purchasing.

Can it go in a bathroom?

No. IP20 means it is suitable for standard interior rooms only. Bathrooms and en-suites require a higher IP rating and this fitting is not suitable for those environments.

Is 170mm wide enough to look deliberate on a bedroom ceiling?

Yes, because the 335mm height gives the fitting a presence above its footprint. The vertical proportion looks like a designed object from below rather than something small trying not to be noticed. In a standard UK bedroom 170mm is appropriately scaled. For a very large or high-ceilinged room a larger fitting would be more appropriate.

What are the full dimensions and weight?

170mm wide, 170mm deep, 335mm tall. Total weight 1.79kg. Steel, glass and brass construction. 10W LED E27, dimmable, 220-240V, Class 1, IP20.

Building a Bedroom or Hallway Around Warm, Decorative Lighting

A glass rod ceiling fitting in antique brass belongs in rooms that have already committed to warmth, character and material depth. These guides cover how to build and layer the kinds of interiors where this quality of decorative light feels like the right conclusion rather than an addition.

Overview

A Decorative Ceiling Light That Earns Attention Rather Than Demanding It.

The glass rods surrounding the antique brass frame do not scatter the E27 source dramatically. They carry the light softly through each rod and diffuse it as a gentle, warm glow. Subtle is exactly right for a bedroom or hallway where the quality of light matters more than the quantity. At 335mm tall and 170mm across the proportions are intentional: tall enough to register as decorative from across the room, compact enough not to overreach in a narrow hallway or above a bedside position. The antique brass frame is warm and aged, belonging alongside blush walls, aged oak and golden hardware. Dimmable, which in a bedroom is not optional. Class 1 fitting requiring an earth connection.

The Details That Make This More Than Simply Decorative

  • Clear glass rods on antique brass frame: Glass rods arranged around the E27 source to diffuse light softly through each rod rather than transmitting it directly.
  • Dimensions: 170mm (W) x 170mm (D) x 335mm (H): Taller than wide. Compact footprint with vertical presence. 1.79kg.
  • Dimmable, 10W LED E27: Standard dimmer compatible. E27 screw-fit. Bulb not included.
  • Antique brass plated steel: Warm, aged tone. Natural alongside blush, ivory, ochre and warm neutral palettes.
  • IP20, Class 1, 220-240V: Standard interior rooms only. Class 1 requires an earth connection.
  • Material: Steel, Glass, Brass: Multi-material construction contributing to the warm, settled quality of the whole.

Rooms Where the Brief Is Beautiful Light, Not Just Enough of It

A bedroom where the ceiling fitting needs to complete a palette of blush plaster, aged oak and brushed gold without overpowering any of it. A hallway with warm ivory walls where the vertical form gives the ceiling something decorative to hold onto. A dressing room where warm, flattering light is the entire brief. A guest bedroom where a considered ceiling fitting signals that the space was genuinely thought about. This fitting belongs in rooms where character and the quality of evening light matter. For how atmospheric light anchors a complete interior, our cinema room design guide covers the approach.

Description

Some Statements Are Made Quietly. This Is One of Them.

Not every room needs a ceiling light that commands attention from across it. Some need one that repays it. A bedroom at the end of an evening, a hallway you pass through every day: these rooms benefit more from a fitting genuinely beautiful up close. At 170mm across and 335mm tall, this belongs to that first category. Clear glass rods arranged around the antique brass frame catch the E27 source within and diffuse it softly through each rod, creating gentle warmth rather than a broad spread.

The glass rods are clear, meaning the diffusion is soft rather than full: the source is still present as a warm, visible glow inside the formation, filtered through the glass before it reaches the room. The antique brass frame gives the whole piece its material character: a warm, aged finish that settles naturally alongside blush plaster walls, aged oak furniture, brushed gold hardware and the kind of considered bedroom palette where every object has been chosen for how it feels in the evening light. The proportions are specific to the brief the fitting is answering. Tall and relatively narrow, it occupies the ceiling zone with a verticality that looks genuinely decorative from below rather than like a ceiling fitting trying to cover ground. At 1.79kg it is a solid, well-made piece. Class 1 fitted, meaning an earth connection is required.

Dimmable: the difference between a fitting that contributes to a room and one that transforms it. At full brightness the glass rods carry the E27 source cleanly. Pull the dimmer back and each rod holds a softer amber glow. For a bedside lamp in the same warm register, the natural seagrass pendant provides an organic note alongside. For building a bedroom scheme around warm materials and considered light quality, our boho bedroom design guide covers the approach.

What Glass Rods at 170mm Do That a Larger Formation Simply Cannot

  • The compact formation creates gathered warmth, not broad diffusion. At 170mm across the glass rods concentrate the E27 source into a warm column.
  • The glass rods diffuse the source rather than simply transmitting it. Each rod catches the light at a different angle, producing a softer warmth than a plain shade.
  • The vertical proportions give the fitting a presence its footprint does not. At 335mm tall and 170mm wide, it occupies the ceiling with visual weight above its physical spread.
  • The antique brass ages into the room rather than sitting on top of it. Warm and settled, belonging in rooms built around warmth and carefully chosen objects.
  • The dimmer gives the glass rod column two entirely different qualities. Full brightness for function; a lower setting for evenings when the glow through each rod is the point.
  • The compact scale suits almost any ceiling area. At 170mm across it works in rooms where a larger fitting would dominate.

What Happens to Light When It Travels Through a Glass Rod, Not Around One.

A glass shade surrounds the source and light exits in all directions. A glass rod carries it along its length while also dispersing it outward. Each rod holds a slightly different angle to the source, so the glow looks layered rather than flat. Not a fitting that announces itself. One that makes the room feel better lit in a way that rewards attention rather than demanding it.

The Rooms Built Around Exactly This Quality of Light

A bedroom with blush walls, aged oak and golden hardware. A hallway where the vertical silhouette gives the ceiling something to hold onto. A dressing room. A guest bedroom where a decorative ceiling fitting signals genuine attention. Antique brass and clear glass rods belong in interiors with warmth and details that reward attention. IP20 means standard interior rooms only.

Before You Order

  • Bulb not included. Takes E27 screw-fit LED. A warm filament E27 at 2700K gives the most atmospheric result through the clear glass rods, producing the amber warmth the fitting is designed to deliver.
  • Class 1: earth connection required. Confirm your ceiling wiring includes an earth wire before installation. Class 1 fittings are not suitable for two-core wiring without an earth.
  • Confirm the dimensions suit the ceiling position. 170mm wide, 335mm tall. A compact, vertically oriented fitting. Measure the intended ceiling position to confirm both footprint and drop sit comfortably in the room.
