Louise 3 Light Crystal Chandelier 50cm - Chrome With White Shades

The Louise is a 50cm crystal chandelier with three E27 bulb positions, each fitted with a white organza shade that diffuses the light. The polished chrome frame forms three curved arms that sweep upward from the central column, each terminating in a single shade. Faceted crystal drops hang at intervals along the arms and from a decorative crystal cluster beneath the chandelier, adding refraction and sparkle when the chandelier is lit.

Designed for dining rooms, living rooms and bedrooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or higher, the Louise provides ambient lighting through its fabric shades while the crystal elements add decorative interest. The 500mm diameter suits rooms approximately 3-4m wide without dominating the space. The drop is adjustable between 650mm and 1500mm on installation, allowing the chandelier to be set at the appropriate height above a dining table (typically 700-800mm clearance) or in a hallway or stairwell where a longer drop creates impact.

The white organza shades are pleated vertically, creating texture that catches sidelight during the day and glows evenly when the chandelier is lit. The polished chrome finish on the frame and ceiling rose reflects surrounding light and pairs with both contemporary and traditional interiors. The crystal drops are hand-cut faceted glass rather than acrylic, giving sharper refraction and more weight to the overall 3.6kg fitting. Bulbs are sold separately, giving flexibility to choose colour temperature and wattage up to the E27 maximum.

What bulbs does the Louise take?

The chandelier takes three E27 (Edison screw) bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED bulbs between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for ambient dining room or living room lighting. The organza shades diffuse the light, so higher-output bulbs can be used without glare.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, if paired with dimmable E27 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. The chandelier itself does not have integrated dimming electronics, so dimmer compatibility depends on the specific bulb and dimmer combination chosen.

What ceiling height is needed?

The adjustable drop of 650-1500mm works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. For a dining table the chandelier typically sits 700-800mm above the surface, which requires a ceiling height of approximately 2.4-2.6m when using the minimum drop. Higher ceilings allow the chandelier to be suspended lower or at full extension for stairwells and hallways.

How are the crystal drops cleaned?

Wipe each crystal drop individually with a dry microfibre cloth. For more thorough cleaning, remove the drops from their wire hooks, wash in lukewarm water with a small amount of washing-up liquid, rinse in distilled water to avoid water marks, and dry immediately with a lint-free cloth before rehanging.
