Armstrong - Black & Satin Brass 6 Light Semi Flush

The Armstrong combines a matt black finish with contrasting satin brass details around the six exposed E27 lampholders. Its arms extend outwards from the central ceiling fitting, creating a broad arrangement measuring 64 cm across while keeping the overall height to 20 cm.

With no shades surrounding the bulbs, the chosen lamps remain clearly visible and become an important part of the finished appearance. Decorative filament-style LED bulbs can complement the industrial character, while simpler clear or opal lamps can give the fitting a different look. The construction is metal, with the black and satin brass finishes providing a clear two-tone contrast.

Six E27 lampholders position the light sources at separate points around the fitting, helping distribute illumination across a wider area than a single-bulb ceiling light. The bulbs are fully exposed rather than enclosed behind shades or diffusers, so the brightness, colour temperature and visual character will depend largely on the E27 bulbs selected.

Bulbs are not included. The fitting is LED compatible, with a verified maximum of 10W LED per bulb. It is also 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.

The semi-flush format has a fixed overall height of 20 cm, making it particularly useful in rooms where a long pendant drop would be impractical.

• Living rooms needing a broad decorative ceiling fitting
• Dining rooms where a low-drop alternative to a pendant is preferred
• Bedrooms with contemporary or industrial-inspired interiors

• Modern interiors using black and brass accents
• Spaces where exposed decorative bulbs form part of the design

Are the bulbs included with the Armstrong 8046-6BK?

Is this light suitable for a lower ceiling?
