Frequently Asked Questions
What ceiling height does it need?
Nine feet and up gives it room to breathe. Over a dining table where nobody walks underneath, eight feet can work if you hang it carefully.
What table size suits it?
A six to eight seat table. At nearly thirty inches across it holds a full sized dining setting without crowding the ends.
How much light does it give?
Plenty, with multiple points spread across the arms. A dimmer is worth fitting so the same fixture works for dinner and for the rest of the evening.
Does it need reinforced mounting?
Your electrician should confirm the ceiling box is fixed to a joist and rated for the weight. On a fixture this size that check takes minutes.
How is it cleaned?
A dry soft cloth along each arm once a year from a step ladder. No polish and nothing damp.
