Elstead Griffin Semi-Flush Ceiling Light

The Elstead Griffin Semi-Flush Ceiling Light is a considered surface-mounted fitting from Elstead's Griffin range. Its shallow, bowl-shaped etched glass shade and metal framework create a calm, modern presence that suits a variety of interior settings.

Designed with a circular ceiling canopy connected to a horizontal support ring by three gently curved arms, the Griffin reads as both traditional and contemporary. It is offered in multiple finishes — Weathered Brass, Palladian Bronze, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome and Palladian Bronze with Weathered Brass — and is available in Small and Medium sizes.

Construction combines a metal framework with a large, translucent etched glass shade that is painted white on the inside. A short central stem and a small tiered finial anchor the bowl, while small ball-shaped finials mark the joinery points where the arms meet the outer ring.

The etched glass softens output and reduces glare, producing even, diffused ambient illumination. The semi-flush form leaves a small gap to the ceiling, allowing a degree of upward reflection as well as downward glow, so it performs well as a principal ambient source in living areas, hallways and bedrooms.

Specification notes: warranty varies between 2–20 years depending on the model. If you require precise lamp, dimming or mounting details for a project, our advisors can confirm compatibility and installation requirements to ensure a correct outcome.
