Description
The Mantra Alfa is an 80cm diameter 8-light chandelier built around a central polished chrome hub with eight rectangular arms extending outwards in a geometric starburst configuration. Each arm terminates in a multifaceted crystal glass shade housing a G9 bulb (sold separately). The arms interweave at varying heights, creating a three-dimensional sculptural form that changes appearance depending on viewing angle.
Designed for dining rooms, large entrance halls and living rooms with ceiling heights of 2.6m or above, the Alfa provides both ambient and decorative lighting. The adjustable drop ranges from 440mm to 680mm, allowing the chandelier to sit 700-900mm above a dining table or be raised higher in double-height spaces. The 800mm diameter suits rooms 4m wide or larger, and the 7.7kg weight requires a ceiling fitting rated for at least 10kg.
Each of the eight crystal glass shades is cut with multiple flat facets that refract light outwards and downwards, amplifying the output of each G9 bulb. The polished chrome finish on the metal frame reflects surrounding light and colour, creating visual interplay between the metal arms and the crystal shades. The chandelier is dimmable when paired with dimmable G9 LED bulbs and a compatible trailing-edge dimmer.
The Alfa ships with height-adjustable cable and mounting hardware for standard UK ceiling roses. Installation requires two people due to the weight and the need to balance the arms during fitting. The crystal shades are removable for cleaning and bulb replacement.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Alfa take?
The chandelier takes eight G9 capsule bulbs (sold separately). Most users pair this with G9 LED bulbs between 3-5W and 2700K-3000K warm white. Total wattage depends on the bulbs chosen, with a typical setup using 8 x 4W LED bulbs drawing 32W total.
Is the Alfa dimmable?
Yes, when paired with dimmable G9 LED bulbs and a compatible trailing-edge dimmer. G9 bulbs vary in dimmer compatibility, so check the bulb specification before pairing with a dimmer circuit.
What ceiling height is needed?
The adjustable drop ranges from 440mm to 680mm. For a dining table the chandelier typically sits 700-900mm above the surface, which works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.6m or above. The 800mm diameter means the chandelier needs clearance around it to avoid the arms appearing cramped.
Can the crystal shades be cleaned?
Yes. The multifaceted crystal shades are removable for cleaning. Wipe with a dry microfibre cloth or a barely-damp cloth with distilled water. For stubborn marks on the glass, a dilute vinegar solution can be used, but rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to avoid water spots.
