The LINARES LE42438 is a flush ceiling light with a shallow domed glass body in a faceted, diamond-cut pattern. The glass is clear and the ceiling plate is white. The fitting sits flat against the ceiling with no drop.
How big it is and where it fits
The shade is 25 cm across and 11 cm deep. A body that shallow barely reaches into the room, which matters in a corridor, an entrance hall or a stairwell — anywhere headroom has to stay clear. Compare the 25 cm with the width of the spot you have in mind: this is a fitting that lights the stretch beneath it rather than a whole large room.
What bulb it takes
There is one E27 socket and it takes a lamp of up to 12 W. That figure is the ceiling for the bulb, not the consumption of the fitting itself. No bulb is supplied, so you choose the brightness and the light colour yourself, and the fitting runs straight off 230 V with no separate driver.
The glass is clear and the bulb shows through the shade, so its appearance becomes part of the fitting — an opal globe reads quite differently here from a decorative lamp with a visible filament. The cut does not hold the light back; it scatters part of it sideways and onto the ceiling around the fitting.
Build
The shade is glass and the ceiling plate is metal. The faceted surface has recesses that collect dust, so cleaning calls for a soft brush or a damp cloth rather than a single wipe. The fitting belongs to the LINARES series.
