The Searchlight Mila MIL-5L is a decorative five-light centre fitting in an antique brass finish, featuring natural linen drum shades with matching metal trim. Combining graceful curved arms with a classic fabric-shaded design, it provides an attractive centrepiece for dining rooms, living rooms and traditional or modern classic interiors. Five individual light sources are arranged around a central frame, helping distribute illumination across the surrounding space. The natural linen shades soften the appearance of the light and reduce direct exposure to the bulbs. Measuring 50 cm in diameter, Mila offers a multi-light arrangement without the width of a larger centre fitting. Its chain suspension and maximum height of 150 cm make it particularly suitable for rooms where a decorative hanging ceiling light is desired.
The Mila centre fitting features an antique brass metal frame with five elegantly curved arms arranged around a central circular support. Slender metal rods rise towards the suspension point, creating a tall, tapered profile that adds visual interest without a heavy or enclosed appearance.
Each light is fitted with a cylindrical natural linen shade, finished with antique brass metal trim along the upper edge. The neutral fabric provides a soft contrast against the warm metallic finish.
A matching ceiling rose and decorative chain complete the design. Its combination of traditional chandelier detailing and simple drum shades works particularly well with classic furnishings, neutral colour schemes and modern classic interiors.
Mila uses five E14 replaceable bulbs, with a maximum rating of 7W LED per bulb. The bulbs are not included, so the required light output and colour temperature can be selected to suit the room.
The five shaded light sources are positioned around the circular frame, helping distribute illumination in several directions rather than concentrating it in a single area. Natural linen diffuses light passing through the fabric, creating a softer appearance than exposed bulbs while retaining a decorative chandelier profile.
The fitting is compatible with dimmable E14 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.
Mila is a mains-operated, Class I ceiling fitting with an IP20 rating, intended for dry indoor locations. Its suspended design should be positioned with sufficient clearance beneath the chandelier.

Are bulbs included with the Searchlight Mila MIL-5L centre fitting?
No. The centre fitting requires five E14 LED bulbs, which must be purchased separately. Each bulb must not exceed the specified 7W LED maximum. Choosing matching bulbs with the same colour temperature helps create a consistent appearance across all five shades.
Can the Mila five-light centre fitting be dimmed?
Yes. As a mains-wired fitting with replaceable E14 bulbs, Mila is compatible with dimmable E14 LED 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.
What is the size of the Mila centre fitting?
The centre fitting measures 50 cm in diameter and has a maximum height of 150 cm. Its chain-suspended construction should be considered when planning installation, particularly above dining tables or in rooms with lower ceilings. The minimum installation height has not been specified.
Is the Mila chandelier suitable for bathrooms or outdoor areas?
No. Mila has an IP20 rating and is intended for dry indoor spaces. It is suitable for locations such as living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms, but should not be installed outdoors or in areas where the fitting may be exposed to moisture or water.
Do the natural linen shades provide soft lighting?
The five natural linen shades diffuse light passing through the fabric and help reduce direct visibility of the bulbs. The overall brightness and colour of the illumination depend on the E14 LED bulbs selected, making bulb choice important for the desired lighting effect.
