Rugiada Surface Petite Ceiling Lamp

The piece

Brass Dome · Opal Glass or Alabaster · Semi Flush Mount

A hand-finished brass dome cradles a smooth white opal globe — clean mid-century geometry that reads both vintage and contemporary. The semi-flush profile keeps ceilings uncluttered while letting the fixture sit proud of the plane. A quiet, bright statement for hallways, bedrooms, kitchens, and entryways.

Please Note: Each piece features unique natural veining.

White Opal Glass

Smooth, uniform glass — clean modern diffusion with an even glow.

Both shades are white but read very differently — opal glass is clean and uniform; alabaster is natural stone with visible veining and tonal variation between pieces.

FAQ

How do I choose between opal glass and alabaster? +

White Opal Glass is the clean, modern choice — uniform colour, smooth surface, even diffusion. Best for contemporary interiors and rooms where you want consistent, anonymous light. White Alabaster Stone is the natural, characterful choice — every piece has unique veining and subtle tonal gradient, and the stone glows from within when lit. Best for warm, considered interiors where you want the fixture itself to be a quiet conversation piece. Both are white at first glance but read very differently in person.

Which bulb do you recommend? +

A G9 LED bulb at 3–6W in warm white (2700K) gives the softest, most flattering light through both the opal glass and alabaster shades. The fixture accepts up to 60W per bulb, so most G9 LEDs work comfortably. Avoid cool-white or daylight bulbs — they can look clinical against the white shade and flatten the alabaster's natural veining.

Is this fixture dimmable? +

The fixture itself is compatible with dimming. To dim it, pair a dimmable G9 LED bulb with a TRIAC-compatible dimmer switch (e.g. Lutron, Leviton Decora). Standard non-dimmable bulbs will run at full brightness only.

What ceiling height does it suit? +

With a total drop of 19 cm, the fixture sits close to the ceiling and suits most standard rooms from 2.4 m (8 ft) upward. Because it's semi-flush rather than pendant, it won't hang low enough to feel intrusive in halls, bedrooms, or kitchens.

Can I install it on a sloped ceiling? +

We recommend installation on flat ceilings only. On a sloped or vaulted ceiling, the canopy will not sit flush and the fixture may not mount securely. Choose a pendant or sloped-ceiling-adapter fixture for angled surfaces.

Is it safe to use in a bathroom? +

Yes — for dry and damp bathroom zones (e.g. the ceiling above a vanity or mirror, away from direct spray). It is not rated for installation directly above a shower or tub where steam and water contact are constant.

How do I clean the shade? +

Wait until the bulb is cool, then choose by material: Opal glass — wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth; for stubborn marks, use a damp cloth with mild soapy water and dry thoroughly. Alabaster stone — dust with a soft dry cloth only; avoid water, soap, and any cleaner, as alabaster is porous and can absorb moisture and stain. Avoid abrasive cleaners on the brass finish.

Care & delivery

Looking after it

Dust with a soft dry cloth. Stone, plated and painted finishes dislike solvents and abrasives, so keep both away from them; glass takes a lint-free cloth and a little glass cleaner. Solid brass is left unlacquered on most pieces and will warm and darken with handling, which is the material behaving as it should rather than a fault. Switch a fixture off and let it cool before cleaning it.

Who makes it

This piece is manufactured for Elio Marchetti by Radilum, our production partner for the collection.

We are a lighting house rather than a factory. We select the pieces, specify the finishes and the stone, and hold the relationship with the maker, and we would rather tell you that plainly than leave it unsaid. Questions about the manufacture of a specific fixture are welcome and we will answer them.

Delivery

Allow 28 to 43 business days from order to arrival, roughly six to nine weeks. Most of the collection is made to order, so that time covers the piece being built in the finish and size you chose, checked, packed and shipped. The same window applies wherever you are.

Shipping is free to Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, with no minimum order.

Returns

You have ten days from receiving a piece to have it on its way back to us, under way inside those ten days rather than simply flagged with us on the tenth. Return postage on a change of mind is yours, there is no restocking fee, and the outcome is a refund to your original payment method rather than store credit. Made to order pieces return on the same terms as stock. Contact us before sending anything back.

Damaged or faulty on arrival

Separate from an ordinary return, and a longer window: twenty days from receipt to report it. Tell us before you send anything, keep the packaging until we have answered, and photographs of both the fault and the box help. Where a piece is faulty, damaged in transit or not what you ordered, we cover the return postage.

Installation

Any hardwired fixture should go in with a licensed electrician. Where a piece has particular requirements, a sloped ceiling, a chain that can be shortened, a specific socket, they are listed further up this page.
