Cheese - White & Chrome Ceiling Lamp ∅ 23 cm

The Cheese ceiling light has a simple circular profile with an opal white glass diffuser and a polished chrome-effect outer ring. Mild steel and glass are used in the construction, with the white diffuser concealing the bulbs from direct view. Its 23 cm width keeps the fitting relatively compact, while the 10 cm height creates a neat close-to-ceiling appearance. The combination of white glass and chrome suits bathrooms and kitchens particularly well, while the restrained design also works in hallways, utility rooms and other practical interior spaces.

Two E27 lampholders position separate light sources behind the opal glass diffuser, helping distribute light across the fitting rather than from a single point. The diffuser softens direct glare and gives the illuminated surface a more even appearance.

Bulbs are not included, so suitable E27 LED bulbs can be selected according to the preferred brightness and colour temperature. Candle-shaped bulbs are the manufacturer-specified lamp type for this model. Where no product-specific LED maximum is confirmed, an LED bulb of up to 8W per lampholder is recommended.

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