The Mosari CTC3 is a 290mm three-light close-to-ceiling fitting in matt goldor black with opal glass shades threeG9 globes to 6W each, not supplied, at 148mm deep.

The globes are G9, and our page said G6.There is no G6 lamp base. Searching for G6 globes finds nothing, and anything soldunder that name would not fit.

You need three G9 globes to 6W each 18W in total, and they arenot supplied. (Our record listed only 6W against the wholefitting, which is the per-globe figure, and carried no globe base at all.)

The small one, and what it is for

290mm across, 148mm deep, 1.17kg. Compact and light itfixes to plasterboard without special provision, and the 270mm canopy coversnearly the whole footprint on a replacement.

Three shades at this size make it a detail rather than a room light:

• Hallways, landings and entries, where a plain oyster would be dull and aseven-light cluster too much.
• Small bedrooms, robes and studies.
• Repeated down a hallway, where three of them read as a rhythm.
• Alongside the seven-light, which is the pairing the range is built for the CTC7 in the living room, CTC3s in the hall.

How much light, honestly

Three G9 LEDs at up to 6W each, so realistically1,5001,800 lumens depending on what you buy. That isenough for a hallway, a landing or a small bedroom, andnot enough for a living room the seven-light is for that.

Because the globes are yours, you control the output, which is the advantage andthe responsibility of a replaceable-globe fitting. Tell us the room and we will sizethem.

What to buy: LED G9s, not halogen halogen runs very hot inside an enclosed glass shade. Warm 2700K, because coolwhite against matt gold reads green. All three together, same brand,since three shades seen at one glance show any mismatch. And rated for enclosedfittings.

It dims, with the right globes. Our record says No;the datasheet and our page both say globe dependent, and they are right. In a hallwaythat is worth having low, three small opal shades make a good night light.

Opal glass no glare, from any angle

Opal diffuses completely: each shade glows as a whole surface and theG9 capsule is invisible. On a fitting you walk under and look up at, that is whatmakes it comfortable. (Our range copy says clear opal glass, which is contradictory.They are opal.)

Part of a four-piece range atable lamp, a wall light, and two CTCs in the same minimal metalwork and opal glass.The sentence saying so was cut off mid-word on every Mosari page. It is unusuallycomplete for a range, and it means a whole floor can carry one idea at four scales.

ClassI earth required,IP20 indoor and dry locations only, in iron and glass.

Where it works

• Hallways, landings and entries and repeated down a hall.
• Small bedrooms, robes and studies.
• With the CTC7 in the living room, as one scheme.
• Three G9 globes are NOT supplied the base is G9, not G6.
• Not enough for a living room. Use the seven-light.

Questions

What globes does it take?

Three G9 capsules to 6W each 18W total, not supplied. Our page said G6, and there is no such lamp base: searching for G6 globes finds nothing, and anything sold under that name would not fit.

How bright will it be?

Realistically 1,5001,800 lumens with modern 6W G9 LEDs enough for a hallway, landing or small bedroom, and not enough for a living room. The seven-light Mosari is for that. Tell us the room and we will size the globes.

Which G9s should I buy?

LED, not halogen, since halogen runs very hot inside an enclosed glass shade. Warm 2700K, because cool white against matt gold reads green. All three together and the same brand, since three shades at one glance show any mismatch. And rated for enclosed fittings.

Can I dim it?

With the right globes. Our record says No; the datasheet and our page both say globe dependent, and they are right. In a hallway it is worth having low, three small opal shades make a good night light.

Where does the small one suit?

Hallways, landings and entries, where a plain oyster would be dull and a seven-light cluster too much; small bedrooms, robes and studies; or repeated down a hallway as a rhythm. The pairing the range is built for is the CTC7 in the living room with CTC3s in the hall.

Will I see the globes?

No opal glass diffuses completely, so each shade glows as a whole surface and the capsule is invisible. Our range copy says clear opal glass, which is contradictory; they are opal.

How heavy is it?

1.17kg light enough to fix to plasterboard without special provision, and the 270mm canopy covers nearly the whole footprint on a replacement.
