Albers ceiling light, opal glass globe, black backplate, Ø 20.3 cm

Black and white, sphere and disc

A flat backplate and a cylindrical sleeve, both black, hold the opal glass sphere as close to the ceiling as possible. The globe looks almost set against the neck. The black emphasises the outline of the fixing.

E27 bulb of 40 W at most

The light takes an E27 bulb, not supplied, of 40 W maximum. Behind the opal glass, the source is not visible and the light spreads evenly. It accepts a dimmer if the bulb is dimmable. For a bedroom or a hallway, a 2700 K or 3000 K LED is suitable. Class I appliance, connected to earth; 2-year warranty.

A height of 21.9 cm

Compact, it suits ceilings of standard height as well as lower rooms. In a bedroom, place it in the centre; in a narrow passage, prefer it to a wide ceiling light that would almost touch the walls. Several Albers lined up in a hallway form a sequence of regular points of light.
