Description
The Llamas is a 96cm diameter chandelier with fifteen curved metal arms finished in gloss white, each arm terminating in a G4 bulb fitting. The arms vary in length and arc at different angles from a central column, creating a sculptural form that reads differently from every viewing position. The gloss finish reflects ambient light and multiplies the output from the bulbs themselves, adding brightness to the space beyond the direct light.
Designed for high-ceiling rooms with a minimum ceiling height of 3m, the Llamas suits formal dining rooms, entrance halls, open-plan living areas and hotel lobbies where a large-scale fitting is needed. The drop is adjustable between 770mm and 1250mm on installation, allowing the chandelier to be set at the appropriate height above a dining table (typically 750-850mm clearance) or to float higher in a double-height space. The 12.1kg weight requires a ceiling rose rated for the load and a secure fixing into joists or concrete.
The fifteen G4 fittings take capsule bulbs up to 10W each (sold separately). Diyas specify that this chandelier is not compatible with LED or CFL bulbs — halogen G4 capsules are required for correct operation. The chandelier is dimmable when paired with a trailing-edge dimmer, allowing output to be varied from full brightness for entertaining to softer ambient levels for everyday use. The white gloss finish pairs with both contemporary white interiors and acts as a contrast piece in darker or richly-coloured rooms.
Each arm is handcrafted, so minor variations in curve and spacing between individual pieces are normal. The gloss surface shows fingerprints and dust more readily than matt finishes, so periodic cleaning with a dry microfibre cloth maintains the reflective quality. The fitting is designed and manufactured by Diyas, a UK-based decorative lighting brand.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does it take and can I use LEDs?
The chandelier takes fifteen G4 capsule bulbs up to 10W each. Diyas specify that LED and CFL bulbs are not compatible with this fitting — halogen G4 capsules are required. Bulbs are sold separately.
What ceiling height is needed?
The 96cm diameter and adjustable 770-1250mm drop mean the chandelier needs a minimum ceiling height of around 3m to avoid overwhelming the space. For dining tables, allow 750-850mm clearance between the table surface and the lowest point of the chandelier.
Is it dimmable?
Yes, when paired with a trailing-edge dimmer. The dimmer must be compatible with halogen loads and rated for the total wattage of the bulbs fitted (up to 150W if all fifteen bulbs are 10W halogen).
How is the gloss finish maintained?
The gloss white surface shows fingerprints and dust readily. Clean with a dry, soft microfibre cloth. For more stubborn marks, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water is acceptable, but dry immediately to avoid watermarks. Avoid household sprays and polishes that can dull the gloss.
