Aurum 8 Light Crystal Chandelier - Gold

The Aurum is an 8-light crystal chandelier built around a central gold-finish metal frame measuring 650mm diameter and 300mm drop. Eight curved metal arms radiate from the centre, each carrying a single G9 bulb fitting (bulbs sold separately) and draped with multiple strands of faceted crystal droplets that cascade both upward and downward from the frame.

Designed for dining rooms with ceiling heights of 2.6m or above, entrance halls and double-height living spaces, the Aurum provides ambient light across a table or floor area of approximately 3-4m². The chandelier is dimmable when paired with compatible G9 LED bulbs and a trailing-edge dimmer, allowing light levels to be adjusted from bright task lighting for dining to softer background glow for evening entertaining. The 300mm drop suits standard ceiling roses, though additional chain can be added for higher ceilings.

The gold-finish metal carries a warm tone that sits between polished brass and antique brass, with a slight sheen that reflects candlelight and ambient room lighting. The crystal strands are facet-cut to refract light across the ceiling and walls when the chandelier is lit, creating moving highlights across the room. Each arm holds between 15-20 individual crystal droplets, with larger octagonal crystals positioned at intervals along the strand and smaller round crystals filling the gaps. The combined metal frame, crystal strands and eight G9 fittings give the chandelier a presence suited to rooms with period features, warm neutral palettes and traditional furnishings.

The IP20 rating limits the Aurum to dry indoor use only. Installation requires a ceiling rose capable of supporting the chandelier's weight (approximately 4-5kg once crystals and bulbs are fitted) and standard 230V UK mains wiring. The chandelier is supplied with installation instructions and a 5-year warranty from Ideal Lux.

What bulbs does the Aurum take?

The chandelier takes eight G9 capsule bulbs (sold separately). G9 LED bulbs between 3-5W and 2700K-3000K colour temperature are recommended for warm ambient light. Maximum wattage per bulb depends on the specific G9 fitting used — check the bulb packaging for compatibility.

Is the Aurum dimmable?

Yes, when paired with dimmable G9 LED bulbs and a compatible trailing-edge dimmer. Dimmer compatibility varies by bulb brand, so test with your chosen bulbs before final installation.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 300mm drop plus the crystal strands below the frame means the lowest point of the chandelier sits approximately 400-450mm below the ceiling rose when installed. This suits rooms with ceiling heights of 2.6m or above, allowing at least 2.1m clearance beneath the chandelier for safe passage.

How is the crystal cleaned?

Turn off the power at the mains before cleaning. Wipe each crystal strand gently with a dry microfibre cloth. For more thorough cleaning, individual crystals can be unhooked from the frame, washed in warm distilled water with a drop of washing-up liquid, rinsed and dried before re-hanging. Avoid spraying cleaners directly onto the metal frame or electrical fittings.
