Good to know
A few questions,
before it comes home.
What type of bulbs does the Dorado eight-light ceiling fitting require and are they included?
This fitting requires 8× G9 capsule bulbs with a maximum wattage of 3W each. Bulbs are not included, so you'll need to purchase them separately. G9 bulbs are widely available in both LED and halogen versions, though LED is recommended for energy efficiency and longevity.
Can this gold ceiling light be dimmed?
Yes, the Dorado is dimmable when fitted with compatible dimmable G9 bulbs. You'll need to install a trailing edge dimmer switch to control the brightness smoothly. Standard rotary or push dimmers may cause flickering with LED bulbs, so ensure your dimmer is specifically rated for LED loads if using LED G9s.
Do I need an electrician to install this ceiling light or can I fit it myself?
This is a hardwired Class I ceiling fitting that requires connection to your mains electrical supply, so installation by a qualified electrician is required under UK Building Regulations Part P. The fitting mounts to a standard ceiling plate or BESA box and is rated as moderate difficulty due to its size (800mm diameter) and weight with eight lampholders.
What are the dimensions and how much ceiling height will this fitting take up?
The Dorado measures 800mm in diameter and has a total drop of 315mm from ceiling to the lowest point. With its substantial 80cm width, it's best suited to larger rooms such as dining rooms or open-plan living spaces with ceilings high enough to accommodate the 31.5cm projection without feeling too low.
Is this ceiling light suitable for a bathroom or kitchen?
This fitting is rated IP20, which means it has no moisture protection and is suitable for dry indoor areas only. It cannot be installed in bathrooms, en-suites, or any zones where water or steam is present. For kitchens, it's fine in general areas but should be kept away from direct exposure to steam or splashes above sinks and hobs.
What is the total light output with all eight bulbs and what colour temperature should I choose?
With eight 3W LED G9 bulbs fitted, you'll achieve approximately 2,000–2,400 lumens total output, depending on bulb quality. The frosted glass diffuses light softly across the room. For a warm, inviting glow in living or dining spaces, choose bulbs rated 2700K–3000K (warm white); for a crisper, more modern look, opt for 4000K (cool white).
