Hilton 60cm Pentagonal 5 Light Wood Chandelier - Polished Nickel & Taupe

The Hilton is a 60cm pentagonal chandelier built around five taupe-finished wooden arms radiating from a central polished nickel hub, each terminating in a polished nickel E14 candle socket. The five arms are arranged at equal 72-degree intervals, creating a geometric pentagon when viewed from above. The wooden arms meet at a polished nickel central column that runs vertically through the fitting, anchored at the top by a matching nickel canopy and chain suspension.

Designed for dining rooms, entrance halls and living spaces with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above, the chandelier suits tables between 1.4-1.8m in length or seating areas with a 3-4m floor-to-ceiling dimension. The adjustable drop ranges from 750mm minimum to 1750mm maximum, allowing the fitting to be set 700-900mm above a dining surface depending on ceiling height. The five E14 sockets take candle-style bulbs up to 20W each (sold separately), giving flexibility to choose filament, LED or halogen sources.

The taupe finish on the wooden arms is a warm neutral tone sitting between grey and beige, providing a softer contrast against the polished nickel metalwork than darker woods would. The nickel itself is mirror-polished rather than brushed or satin, giving defined reflections and a higher level of sheen that catches light from the bulbs and ambient daylight. At 3.3kg the chandelier carries enough mass to feel substantial without requiring reinforced ceiling fixings for most UK residential installations.

The pentagonal geometry creates a five-pointed star silhouette when lit, with each bulb flame positioned at the outer edge of the structure. This arrangement distributes light more evenly across a rectangular dining table than a traditional linear chandelier would, while avoiding the visual mass of a six or eight-arm piece in smaller rooms. The wooden arms taper slightly from hub to socket, giving the structure a lighter visual weight than if the arms were uniform width throughout.

What bulbs does the Hilton take?

The chandelier takes five E14 small Edison screw bulbs up to 20W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED candle bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K-3000K for dining and living spaces.

Is the Hilton dimmable?

Yes, provided you fit dimmable bulbs. The chandelier itself has no integrated dimming electronics — dimmer compatibility depends entirely on the bulbs you choose and the dimmer switch installed on the circuit.

What ceiling height is needed?

The minimum drop of 750mm means the chandelier needs a ceiling height of at least 2.4m to hang at a comfortable dining height of 700-800mm above a table surface. Higher ceilings up to 3.2m can use the maximum 1750mm drop to maintain the same table-to-fitting clearance.

How wide is the chandelier at its widest point?

The 600mm diameter is measured across the pentagonal frame from the tip of one arm to the tip of the arm directly opposite. The pentagonal geometry means the distance between adjacent arm tips is shorter — approximately 350mm — creating the five-pointed star shape when viewed from below.
