Merci 2 is a ceiling light with an open, geometric build: horizontal gold bars cross a white steel frame, and two E27 holders hang between them, facing down. There is no shade — the bulbs are visible and form part of the decoration, so the choice of bulb genuinely changes how the fitting looks. Decorative retro sources with a visible filament suit this shape best.
Important: 15 W maximum per socket, LED only
Sigma specifies the light source for this model as 2 × E27, max 15 W LED. That limit is worth taking seriously: an incandescent or halogen bulb of several dozen watts, in the tight space enclosed between the bars, heats the painted steel and shortens the life of the holder itself. Two 15 W LED bulbs today give as much light as a pair of 100 W incandescents once did — there is no reason to reach for more.
Where it works
The fitting mounts directly against the ceiling on a short rigid arm — it does not hang from a cable or a chain. Overall height is 34 cm, so it also suits rooms of standard height where a chandelier would sit too low. The 40.5 × 26 cm rectangular footprint looks right over a dining table, over an island, or in a hallway.
Build
The frame is painted steel — white around the perimeter, gold on the crossbars. At 4.2 kg it needs a solid fixing into the ceiling structure; in plasterboard, use through-bolts or find a joist. The IP20 rating restricts it to dry rooms.
