Cotton - White Semi Flush with White Glass ∅ 40 cm

The Cotton PL1 D40 has a clean, rounded profile formed by a white acid-etched blown glass diffuser. A discreet metal ceiling base is finished in white powder paint, helping the support blend naturally with the shade and ceiling.

The glass attaches with a screw fastening, avoiding prominent decorative clips around the outside. Its smooth white surface suits modern, minimalist and Scandinavian-inspired interiors, while the simple globe-like form can also complement more classic rooms.

This shade is hand blown, so it is genuinely handmade rather than machine pressed. Small bubbles, subtle tooling marks and slight variation in pattern or colour are natural results of the glass blowing process, not faults.

A single replaceable E27 bulb sits inside the acid-etched glass shade. The diffuser surrounds the light source, softening the direct view of the bulb and spreading light around the room. This makes the fitting suitable for comfortable general lighting rather than a narrow or directional beam.

LED E27 bulbs can be used, allowing the brightness and colour temperature to be selected according to the room. A warm white bulb can help create a relaxed effect in bedrooms and living areas, while a brighter neutral white option may be preferred in hallways or practical spaces.

The light 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.

The bulb is not included. The fitting has an IP20 rating and is intended for dry indoor locations rather than bathrooms, outdoor areas or places exposed to moisture.

Is the bulb included?

No. The Cotton PL1 D40 requires one E27 bulb, which must be purchased separately. This lets you choose a suitable LED bulb with the brightness and colour temperature required for the room.

Can this ceiling light be dimmed?

Yes. It is compatible with a dimmable E27 bulb when connected to a suitable dimmer switch. The bulb and dimmer switch need to be matched to each other for dimming to work properly.

Is it suitable for a bathroom?

No. The fitting has an IP20 rating and is intended for dry indoor rooms. It should not be installed in a bathroom zone, outdoors, or anywhere it may be exposed to water or excessive moisture.

How large is the Cotton PL1 D40?

The shade is approximately 40 cm in diameter, and the complete fitting is around 33 cm high. Its generous rounded shape is well suited to medium-sized rooms, provided there is sufficient ceiling clearance.

Does the glass completely cover the bulb?

Yes. The E27 bulb sits inside the white acid-etched glass diffuser. This helps conceal the direct light source, reduces the harsh appearance of an exposed bulb and spreads light more softly around the room.
