The Marbell 8 light is a 1,200mm linear close-to-ceiling fitting carryingeight glass shades. It runs along a ceiling rather than hanging from it, which makes it one of very fewways to get a long decorative fitting into a room with a standard ceiling height.

Linear, and close to ceiling

Most 1.2m decorative fittings are pendants that need a void. This one sits220mm below the ceiling, so it works over a dining table or a long island in a2.4m room where a pendant would be in the way. It is also a genuine option for a hallway ceilingwhere nothing may hang low.

Eight E27 globes, and none supplied

Each shade takes an E27 globe up to 25W 200W across thefitting, and no globes are included. Eight is a lot of light for a domesticroom, so fit modest LED lamps and consider a dimmer. Buy all eight identical.

Amber or smoke glass

Antique brass with amber glass is the warmer pairing the glass tints the light golden.Black with smoke is cooler and more dramatic, showing the globes more clearly. Both use140mm shades.

Where it works

• Long dining tables and islands under standard ceilings.
