{"product_id":"thorne-travertine-tube-downlight","title":"Thorne Travertine Tube Downlight","description":"\u003cp\u003eAll stone, no wood, no metal shade. The Thorne is a single turned travertine tube with the lens set deep inside the bottom, which cuts the glare and pushes the light straight down in a defined circle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt does the job of a recessed downlight without any of the damage. Nothing is cut into the ceiling, nothing is pushed up into the void, and the fitting reads as a piece of stone rather than a hole in the plaster. In an older house with a lath and plaster ceiling, or a flat where you cannot get above, that is often the deciding factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it earns its place\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHallways.\u003c\/strong\u003e Three in a run give you rhythm and even light without a single central fitting doing all the work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOver a worktop or a sink.\u003c\/strong\u003e Directed light exactly where you are standing, and no shade to keep clean.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReading corners.\u003c\/strong\u003e Aimed at a chair rather than the middle of the room, which is where the light is actually useful.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCeilings you cannot cut.\u003c\/strong\u003e Lath and plaster, concrete soffits, rented flats, listed buildings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReal stone, so no two are the same\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a narrow tube the banding runs along the length rather than scattering, so every piece reads as a distinct column of stone. Some come through pale and even, others carry a stronger seam. Yours will not be an exact match for the photographs.

The one thing to be aware of is that 16 cm of solid stone hangs off a 6.5 cm footprint, so the load lands in a small area and the fixing needs to be genuinely sound rather than adequate. Warm white LED bulb supplied, no dimmer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Travertina","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54613702541653,"sku":"TRV-CL-THO-STN","price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1070\/8212\/1557\/files\/travertine-ceiling-light-cylinder-beige-26-1.webp?v=1786529627","url":"https:\/\/travertina.co.uk\/products\/thorne-travertine-tube-downlight","provider":"Travertina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
