Copper lighting fixtures

Count on three sources to dress a room: a chandelier in the centre of the living room, a pendant above the table, a wall light in the hallway or the toilet. Copper fills these three roles in this collection, in chandeliers, pendants, ceiling lights and wall lights, all IP20 for indoor use.

Which copper lights should you choose for each room?

Copper lights mainly dress the living room, bedroom, kitchen and dining room in this collection. Chandeliers from 80 to 150 cm for a large room, round or oval ceiling lights where the ceiling is low, pendants above a worktop or a table. In a hallway or a toilet, a compact format with a G9 socket or integrated LED is enough.

A copper kitchen light

Above a worktop, aim for a light that does not cast shadows on your hands: a wide ceiling light or a chandelier with a GU10 socket, adjustable and easy to replace. The GU10 and integrated LED models in the collection wipe clean with a cloth. For an open kitchen, the pendant centred on the island marks the zone without lighting the whole room.

Lights for toilets

In a small space, a large chandelier takes up room and gets dirty for nothing. A wall light with a G9 socket such as the Nyla wall light lights the mirror at the right height, and a small round ceiling light covers the rest. Find other compact formats in the lights for toilets.

How do you choose a copper chandelier for a living room?

A copper chandelier is chosen first for the effect you want: a centrepiece in the middle of the living room or a discreet light above a table. The models in the collection range from 60 to 150 cm, with LED, GU10 or E27 sockets, and dimmable on several references such as Xilo, Yalo, Vira or Signature.

A chandelier for a large living room

In a large space, the Xilo chandelier is LED and dimmable: you adjust the intensity according to the time of day. For a low ceiling, the Halo Sculpt ceiling light comes in 35, 45 or 55 cm and lets the room breathe. Compare other large pieces in the design lights for the living room.

A discreet chandelier or an antique-style model

The retro spirit comes from the shapes and the bronze or copper finishes, not from real age. The Yalo chandelier, in a golden and white spiral, comes in 60x20 cm and 80x20 cm, in LED and dimmable. The statement pieces bring together the most elaborate models in the selection.

Choosing the size of the chandelier

Allow about one third of the table length for the diameter of a pendant or a dining room chandelier, and keep 75 to 85 cm between the bottom of the light and the tabletop. In a living room, leave at least 2.10 m of clear height under the light so you can move around without bumping into it. Measure before ordering: the dimensions are given model by model.

What are the advantages of copper lighting?

Copper warms the light: its golden or copper reflections bounce the light back and match glass, brass, steel, black and white. It is the most present material in this collection of chandeliers, pendants, ceiling lights and wall lights. Cleaning is done with a soft cloth, without abrasive products.

What copper changes about the light

A copper surface diffuses an amber tint that softens a cold white that is too sharp. Combined with glass, it creates shifting reflections; combined with steel or black, it contrasts and structures. That is what makes it readable both in a modern interior and in an industrial decor, as in the smoked glass pieces.

What copper changes about maintenance

A soft, dry cloth is enough for everyday care. Abrasive powders and scouring pads scratch the golden or bronze finish and leave dull marks. Switch off and let the light cool before handling it, especially around a non-replaceable integrated LED.

Copper pendant, ceiling light or wall light: which shape for which use?

The pendant lights a precise zone, the ceiling light covers the whole room, the wall light dresses a wall. In the collection, ceiling lights measure 35 to 130 cm, pendants 11 to 30 cm in diameter with an adjustable height up to 180 cm, and wall lights 25 to 60 cm.

Copper ceiling light

The ceiling light sits flush with the ceiling: no height lost, even light, ideal for a hallway, a bedroom or a kitchen. The round and oval formats also read as square depending on the model, and several references work with an integrated LED for a regular light. See the LED lights for living rooms for this type of effect.

Copper pendant light

This selection only features new models.

The pendant hangs from a cable and is height-adjustable, up to 180 cm on some models. The Luminique pendant combines copper, glass and crystal. One pendant is enough above a worktop; three aligned over an island create a rhythm.

Which sockets and light temperatures should you choose?

The models in the collection use GU10, G9, E27, G4 sockets or an integrated LED, with variants in warm white from 2700 to 3500 K, neutral white or cool white. The socket determines whether you replace the bulb and whether you can adjust the beam; the temperature sets the mood.

GU10, E27, G9 or integrated LED: which to choose?

GU10 leaves the bulb replaceable and adjustable, handy above a worktop. E27 opens up the largest number of bulbs on the market. G9 fits in a small space, such as a wall light. G4 is used for tiny light points, on the Aira chandelier for example. The integrated LED is replaced with the light, with no bulb to plan for.

Warm white 2700 K or cool white 6500 K?

Below 3500 K, the light leans golden: living room, bedroom, dining room. Between 3500 and 4500 K, it stays neutral, useful in a kitchen or a hallway. Above 4500 K, it becomes sharp and suits work areas. Keep cool white for rooms where you need to see clearly, not for those where you relax.

How do you install and maintain a copper light?

Installation follows the intended fixings: ceiling for a ceiling light or a chandelier, wall for a wall light, adjustable cable for a pendant. The models in the collection are IP20, so they are for indoor installation. For maintenance, a soft cloth is enough; abrasive products mark the finish.

What installation requires

Switch off the power at the circuit breaker before removing the old light. Check that the wall or ceiling support holds the stated weight and that the chosen height lets doors and heads pass. Plan access to the bulb during assembly: a light whose socket unscrews without tools will save you time later.

How to clean copper without damaging it

A slightly damp microfibre cloth, then a dry cloth, is enough. No solvent, no steel wool. On a glass or crystal piece, clean the glass separately so as not to dull the metal finish. As IP20 means indoor, keep these lights away from direct water spray.

Chic, modern or original lights: how do you match styles?

Copper pairs with black for an industrial feel, with white for a minimalist look, with glass for a chic effect and with brass or steel for a contemporary mix. The collection covers modern, contemporary, industrial, minimalist, rustic and vintage styles, in golden, copper, black or bronze finishes.

Modern lights

The modern style dominates the selection, often in copper and metal with a touch of steel or glass. A golden finish on a white wall, or copper on a dark wall, is enough to create the contrast. Pick from the modern living room models or the kitchen lights to stay in the same family.

Original and decorative lights

Tube, ball, oval, round or globe shape: the silhouette makes the style. A piece in resin, crystal or fabric completely changes the effect of a classic copper. For a more understated interior, the beige and sand tones match copper without competing with it. See also the original creations and the dining room lights.

Where to see and buy copper lights?

The collection can be browsed and ordered online, with secure payment, tracked delivery, returns and Designix customer service. You can ask for advice before choosing between a chandelier, a pendant or a ceiling light, then track your order through to delivery.

How ordering works

Searches for lighting store or lighting clearance Lyon lead here to an online catalogue: you compare dimensions, sockets and finishes from home, without travelling. If you hesitate between two diameters, note the measurements of your room and your table, they often decide faster than a photo. Browse our range of lights to locate the family that suits you.

Delivery and returns

A pendant is height-adjustable, a wall light goes on the wall, a chandelier fixes to the ceiling: order the right family and installation goes without surprises. The lighting catalogue as a whole and the pendants and hanging chandeliers remain the two most direct entry points.
