Gold 5-Light Sputnik Ceiling Light – Mid-Century Modern Semi-Flush
Product description
Five slim gold arms reach out from a round ceiling plate, each ending in a bare bulb, like a burst of light caught mid-sparkle. This mid-century modern sputnik ceiling light is pure 1960s optimism, redone in a warm gold finish that looks just as good in a new-build as in a period home.
It sits close to the ceiling, so you get the drama of a chandelier without anything hanging down in the way, and five light sources fill a room properly instead of leaving dark corners.
For your home
Put it in a living room, over a dining table, in a bedroom, or anywhere with a standard-height ceiling where a long pendant would feel too low. Because the bulbs are on show, they're part of the look: round filament globe bulbs give that warm, vintage-style glow in the photos, while frosted globes give softer, glare-free light. The gold finish loves walnut, velvet, green and blush walls, terrazzo and anything with a retro twist.
For designers and trade
A mid-century modern statement fitting for restaurants, cafés, boutique hotel rooms, salons and residential living and dining spaces. The standard E27 lamp holders make it easy to specify and maintain, and the choice of exposed bulb lets you set the mood and colour temperature for each scheme. At 21.5cm deep it solves lower-ceiling projects where a pendant or chandelier isn't practical. Ships from a UK warehouse for fast lead times. For project quantities, contact Maud for trade pricing.

FAQs
Are bulbs included?
No. It takes five standard E27 screw bulbs. Since the bulbs are on show, globe-shaped bulbs look best. We recommend warm white LED (2700–3000K) for a cosy glow and low running costs.
Is it good for low ceilings?
Yes. It's a semi-flush fitting that sits about 21.5cm down from the ceiling, instead of hanging on a long cable.
Can I dim it?
This fitting isn't rated as dimmable, so we recommend using it with a standard on/off switch.
Can I install it myself?
It's a hardwired ceiling light, so in the UK it should be fitted by a qualified electrician. It needs a little assembly first, which is quick and straightforward.
How fast is delivery?
It ships from our UK warehouse, so most orders arrive within a few days.
