Baylan 6 Light Optical Glass Geometric Chandelier - Polished Nickel

The Baylan is a 6-light chandelier built around a central nickel spindle from which six curved arms sweep outward, each holding a faceted optical glass shade and a single G9 bulb fitting. The glass shades are cut with vertical planes that refract and scatter light, creating patterns across walls and ceilings as the bulbs illuminate the facets. The polished nickel frame reflects ambient light, adding brightness to the fixture even when switched off.

Designed for dining rooms with tables seating 6-8, entrance halls with ceiling heights above 2.6m, and living rooms where a central fixture anchors the space, the Baylan's 54cm diameter suits rooms of 15-25m² without overwhelming smaller ceilings or disappearing in larger volumes. The 38cm drop from canopy to lowest point works with standard 2.4m ceilings when hung 2m above floor level, leaving adequate head clearance. The chandelier ships with chain for height adjustment during installation.

Each of the six arms curves in a smooth arc from the central column, creating an open composition that allows light to pass through the gaps between the arms rather than being blocked by a solid frame. The faceted glass shades are heavier than plain glass equivalents, giving the chandelier a total weight of 4kg that requires a secure ceiling fixing point rated for the load. The polished nickel finish pairs with cooler-toned interiors including greys, whites and blues, as well as contrasting against warmer woods and brass accents in mixed-metal schemes.

What bulbs does the Baylan take?

The chandelier uses six G9 capsule bulbs with a maximum combined wattage of 33W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with LED G9 bulbs rated at 3-5W each in warm white (2700K-3000K) for ambient dining room lighting, or daylight white (4000K) for entrance halls and kitchens.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 38cm drop from canopy to the lowest point of the fixture works in rooms with standard 2.4m ceiling heights when the chandelier is positioned at least 2m above floor level. Higher ceilings allow the chandelier to be lowered further on the supplied chain for visual impact over dining tables or in double-height entrance halls.

Is the chandelier dimmable?

Dimmer compatibility depends on the specific G9 bulbs fitted. LED G9 bulbs vary in dimmer performance — check the bulb packaging for compatibility before pairing with a dimmer switch. Halogen G9 bulbs are generally dimmable on standard trailing-edge dimmers.

How is the optical glass cleaned?

The faceted glass shades can be wiped with a microfibre cloth dampened with water and a small amount of glass cleaner. Switch off and allow bulbs to cool before cleaning. For dust removal between deeper cleans, a dry duster or soft brush works on the facets without needing to remove the shades from the frame.
