Alexandra 7 Tier 63 Light Crystal Spiral Chandelier 95cm - Polished Chrome

The Alexandra is a seven-tier crystal spiral chandelier measuring 95cm in diameter and housing 63 E14 bulb fittings across its descending tiers. Each tier is ringed with precision-cut crystal strands that follow a helical formation from the top crown down to the lowest pendant drops, creating a continuous spiral of reflective surfaces around a central polished chrome frame. The chrome structure provides both the mounting points for the crystal strands and the structural spine that supports the 66.4kg combined weight of metalwork and glass.

Designed for double-height entrance halls, stairwells with ceiling heights of 4m or above, and commercial spaces needing large-scale decorative lighting, the Alexandra requires a minimum drop of 3.34m from ceiling rose to lowest crystal point. The maximum drop extends to 6.29m on adjustable chain, making it suitable for installations in listed buildings, hotels, event spaces and residential properties with tall voids. The 950mm diameter means the chandelier needs a clear cylindrical zone of at least 1.2m diameter around its longest axis to avoid visual obstruction and allow safe installation.

Each of the seven tiers holds between 6-12 E14 bulb fittings depending on tier diameter, with the widest tier at the crown and each subsequent tier reducing in width as the spiral descends. The polished chrome finish on the metalwork provides a high-reflectivity surface that amplifies the light output from the 63 bulbs and intensifies the refractive effect of the crystals. The chandelier accepts any E14 bulb type up to 20W per fitting (bulbs sold separately), giving flexibility to use warm-white LED for ambient light or filament bulbs for a traditional lit-candle appearance. With dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer, the entire array can be controlled from full output down to low glow for different times of day or event requirements.

Installation requires professional ceiling mounting to support the 66.4kg load, typically onto a reinforced joist or supplementary steelwork in the ceiling void. The chain length is adjusted during installation to achieve the desired drop within the 3.34-6.29m range, and the polished chrome canopy conceals the ceiling rose and cable entry point. The crystal strands are factory-assembled onto the chrome frame and ship as a complete unit, minimising on-site assembly time but requiring careful handling during unpacking and lifting.

What ceiling height is needed for this chandelier?

The minimum drop from ceiling to lowest crystal point is 3.34m, meaning ceiling heights of at least 4m are required to allow adequate clearance below. The maximum drop extends to 6.29m for installations in taller voids such as listed buildings or commercial atriums. The chain is adjusted on installation to suit the specific ceiling height.

Does it come with bulbs?

No. The chandelier requires 63 x E14 bulbs up to 20W each, sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K-3000K for ambient light, giving a combined output of 250-380W equivalent while drawing only 250-380W actual consumption with LEDs.

Can it be dimmed?

Yes, provided dimmable E14 bulbs are used and a compatible dimmer is installed on the circuit. The chandelier itself has no integral dimming electronics, so dimmer compatibility depends entirely on the bulb choice.

What load-bearing capacity is required in the ceiling?

The chandelier weighs 66.4kg fully assembled. Professional installation onto a reinforced joist or supplementary ceiling steelwork is required. Standard plasterboard ceilings without structural support are not suitable for this fitting.
