Sumitra - Antique Bronze Semi Flush with Opal Glass

The Sumitra ceiling light combines an antique bronze metal fitting with a large opal glass shade. The glass has a gently scalloped profile, creating a decorative outline that adds interest without relying on elaborate ornamentation.

A circular ceiling plate and short central stem support the shade, keeping the overall design compact and visually balanced. The antique bronze finish introduces a warm metallic accent, while the white opal glass provides a softer contrast.

Its rounded proportions and subtle decorative detailing make it suitable for interiors where a classic ceiling light is preferred over a plain modern fitting.

The Sumitra SUM4863 uses one replaceable E27 Edison Screw bulb, which is purchased separately. The enclosed opal glass shade helps soften the appearance of the light source and diffuse illumination through the glass.

LED-compatible E27 bulbs are a practical option, offering a choice of brightness levels and colour temperatures. Warm white light can complement the antique bronze finish and create a comfortable atmosphere in bedrooms or living rooms.

The fitting is compatible with dimmable E27 bulbs when paired with a suitable dimmer switch. The bulbs and dimmer switch need to be matched to each other for dimming to work properly.

With a fixed height of 34 cm, this semi-flush fitting sits closer to the ceiling than a suspended pendant, although its full depth should still be considered when planning placement in rooms with lower ceilings.

What bulb does the Dar Sumitra SUM4863 use?

The fitting requires one E27 Edison Screw bulb, which is not included. An LED bulb can be used, and the recommended LED wattage is up to 5W per bulb. The opal glass shade helps diffuse the light rather than leaving the bulb directly exposed.

Can the Sumitra ceiling light be dimmed?

Yes. It is compatible with dimmable E27 bulbs when paired with a suitable dimmer switch. The bulbs and dimmer switch need to be matched to each other for dimming to work properly. A standard non-dimmable LED bulb should not be used for dimming.

Is this ceiling light suitable for a low ceiling?

The Sumitra is a semi-flush fitting with a total height of 34 cm. It does not have a long pendant cable or chain, but it still extends below the ceiling. Check the available headroom and intended position before choosing it for a lower-ceilinged room.

Does the opal glass shade soften the light?

Yes. The opal glass diffuses the light from the bulb and reduces the direct visibility of the light source. The final brightness will depend on the E27 bulb selected, so you can choose a suitable light output for the size and purpose of the room.

Can the Dar Sumitra SUM4863 be installed in a bathroom?

The Sumitra is described as an indoor ceiling light, but a product-specific IP rating has not been established. It should not be selected for a bathroom or other moisture-prone area without confirming that its protection rating and installation location meet the relevant electrical requirements.
