The antique brass finish shows darker patination in the recesses of the metalwork, giving the fitting a lived-in warmth that pairs well with traditional and transitional interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for dining rooms, bedrooms and entrance halls with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above, the Akira provides ambient light through three E14 bulbs (sold separately) diffused by the cream shades. The drop is adjustable between 540mm minimum and 1550mm maximum on installation, allowing the chandelier to sit 700-800mm above a dining table in a standard-height room or lower in a double-height entrance hall. The 540mm diameter suits tables of 1.2-1.6m or room widths of 3-4m without dominating the space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach cream shade is a rectangular fabric box with an open top and bottom, allowing light to wash upward onto the ceiling and downward through the fabric. The crystal cups beneath each shade catch and refract light from the bulb, creating small points of sparkle against the warmer tones of the brass and cream. The combined weight of 3kg gives the chandelier sufficient presence on a chain without requiring reinforced ceiling roses on standard plasterboard ceilings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour Finish 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAntique Brass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShade Colour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCream\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e540mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Drop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e540mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Drop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1550mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber Of Bulbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp Socket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eE14\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDependent On Lamps Used\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVoltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e220-240V~50\/60Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimmable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes - Dimmable Lamps Required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 Year\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat bulbs does the Akira take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chandelier takes three E14 small Edison screw bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED candle bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K-3000K for dining and living spaces. The maximum wattage per bulb depends on the bulb type — check the bulb packaging for compatibility with enclosed fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it dimmable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, if you fit dimmable E14 bulbs and pair the chandelier with a compatible dimmer switch. The fixture itself does not restrict dimming — compatibility depends on the bulb and dimmer combination you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat ceiling height is needed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 540mm minimum drop works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above when the chandelier is hung over a dining table. For a typical dining position the fitting should sit 700-800mm above the table surface, requiring approximately 2.5-2.7m ceiling height after accounting for the chandelier body itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the chain length be adjusted after installation?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drop is set during installation by shortening the suspension chain to the desired length. Once installed, changing the drop requires removing the ceiling rose cover and re-threading the chain, which is straightforward but involves isolating the circuit at the consumer unit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mantra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51935425102091,"sku":"M0783AB","price":170.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/akira_M0783AB_WB_big_1d52c95d-0994-484f-a435-80152a0a71ac.jpg?v=1753433689","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/akira-3-light-crystal-chandelier-antique-brass-with-cream-shades","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
