Dali 6 Light Telescopic Chandelier - Polished Brass with Frosted Glass Shades

The Dali is a 70cm 6-light chandelier built around curved polished brass arms that spiral outward from a central hub, each arm terminating in a frosted and clear glass shade housing a G9 bulb. The arms curve in three-dimensional space, creating an organic, asymmetric composition that reads as sculptural movement rather than rigid geometry.

Designed for dining rooms, living rooms and entrance halls with ceiling heights between 2.4m and 3m, the Dali adjusts between a 500mm minimum drop and a 730mm maximum drop via a telescopic rod. At minimum drop the chandelier sits close enough to the ceiling to function as a semi-flush fitting in rooms with lower ceilings, while the extended 730mm drop positions it as a traditional chandelier over a dining table or in a double-height space. The 700mm diameter requires clearance of approximately 1m square to avoid collision with wall-mounted fixtures or furniture.

The polished brass finish reflects ambient daylight and creates warm metallic highlights under evening light, while the frosted glass diffuses the six G9 bulbs to reduce glare. Each shade combines a frosted lower section with a clear glass collar, allowing some direct light to escape upward and illuminate the brass armature from within. The 4.6kg weight requires a ceiling rose rated for at least 6kg, and the fitting is compatible with G9 LED or halogen bulbs sold separately. Dimming requires dimmable G9 bulbs paired with a compatible dimmer switch.

What bulbs does the Dali take?

The chandelier takes six G9 capsule bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair it with G9 LED bulbs between 2.5W and 4W per bulb, giving a combined output of 15-24W. G9 halogen bulbs up to 40W per socket are also compatible but generate more heat and use more energy.

Can it be used as a semi-flush fitting?

Yes. The telescopic rod adjusts down to a 500mm minimum drop, which positions the chandelier close enough to the ceiling to function as a semi-flush fitting in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4-2.6m. At this setting the 250mm body height keeps the lower edge of the shades approximately 750mm below the ceiling.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, but only when paired with dimmable G9 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. The fitting itself has no built-in dimming function. Check that your chosen G9 LED bulbs are labelled as dimmable before purchasing.

What ceiling rose rating is required?

The chandelier weighs 4.6kg. The ceiling rose and fixings must be rated for at least 6kg to provide a safe margin. Standard UK plastic ceiling roses are typically rated for 3-5kg, so a metal ceiling rose or direct fixing to a joist may be required depending on your ceiling construction.
