Ceiling Light Fixture | SKALA 80 (Black)

The Skala 80 ceiling light from Sollux Lighting is a very large round ceiling light with a black fabric shade, closed by a glass diffuser. It measures 80 cm in diameter and 20 cm high, and takes 6 E27 bulbs.

A black ceiling light with a fabric shade

Skala 80 combines a black fabric shade, glass and steel. This black ceiling light draws a wide dark circle on the ceiling. It structures the room the way a large chandelier would, without hanging anything.

The fabric shade brings a matte, soft texture. The glass closes the underside and diffuses the light into the room. When lit, the illuminated underside contrasts with the black surround.

The black echoes dark joinery, furniture legs and frames. It also pairs with wood and light walls. The style is minimalist and modern.

A large ceiling light of 80 cm for large rooms

This large ceiling light measures 80 cm in diameter. It is meant for spacious rooms, such as a living area or a large dining room. In a small room, it would take up too much space.

Its height is 20 cm. The light fixture therefore stays close to the ceiling despite its diameter. It suits standard-height ceilings.

Before installation, mark the position on the ceiling carefully. The 80 cm circle must stay clear of tall cabinet doors and beams. A light fixture of this diameter is easier to handle with 2 people.

6 E27 bulbs to light a living area

The light fixture takes 6 LED bulbs of 15 W maximum each. The E27 bulbs are not included. You therefore choose the color and the power of the light.

With 6 light sources, this ceiling light can provide the general lighting of a large room on its own. The light is spread across the whole surface of the diffuser. Fit 6 identical bulbs to get an even result.

A warm white light suits a living room or a bedroom. A more neutral light suits a kitchen or an office. Lower-power bulbs are enough if you add accent lamps.

Where to install this living room ceiling light?

As a living room ceiling light, it sits in the center of the room. It lights the sofa, the coffee table and the walkways all at once. Its diameter balances a large corner sofa or a long low unit.

In a dining room, this ceiling light is centered above a large table. In an open kitchen, it marks the dining area. In a large bedroom or an office, it serves as the main lighting.

The light fixture is rated IP20, so it is reserved for dry rooms. The electrical connection must be carried out by a qualified electrician. For maintenance, switch off the power, then dust the fabric with a soft brush. Then wipe the glass with a soft, dry cloth.
