Lucca 15 Light Stairwell Lead Crystal Semi-Flush Chandelier - Chrome

The Lucca is a 162cm-tall stairwell chandelier built around fifteen SES candle bulb fittings arranged across five cylindrical tiers of lead crystal, each tier suspended on a polished chrome central column. The crystal elements are rectangular prisms and droplets arranged in concentric rings, refracting light from the bulbs and creating prismatic patterns across surrounding walls and ceiling heights.

Designed for double-height entrance halls, split-level landings and staircases with ceiling voids, the Lucca's vertical structure fills tall spaces without requiring a traditional pendant drop. The semi-flush mount sits close to the ceiling with the crystal tiers cascading downward, making it suitable for rooms with 3.5m-5m ceiling heights where a standard chandelier would either sit too high or require excessive chain. The 33cm diameter keeps the footprint compact enough for stairwell widths of 1.2m or wider.

The chrome frame and canopy provide a cool-toned metallic finish that reflects ambient daylight and pairs with contemporary greys, whites and glass surfaces. At 32kg the fitting requires secure ceiling fixing into joists or a reinforced mounting point — the weight comes from the lead crystal content, which gives the material its high refractive index and optical clarity compared to standard glass crystal. Each of the fifteen SES bulbs can be up to 40W, though most installations use 4-6W LED candle bulbs in warm white (2700K-3000K) to balance light output with running costs.

The crystal tiers graduate in density from top to bottom, with tighter crystal packing near the ceiling and looser droplet spacing toward the base, creating visual weight that draws the eye downward along the stairwell. The precision-cut lead crystal surfaces catch and split white light into spectral colours, particularly visible in direct sunlight or under halogen/LED bulbs with high colour rendering (CRI 90+).

What ceiling height is needed for this chandelier?

The 162cm drop is designed for double-height spaces with ceiling heights between 3.5m and 5m. In a typical two-storey entrance hall or stairwell void, the chandelier sits close to the upper ceiling with the crystal tiers filling the vertical space down toward the first-floor landing or hallway below.

What bulbs does it take?

The Lucca uses fifteen SES (small Edison screw, E14) candle bulbs, each up to 40W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users fit 4-6W LED candle bulbs in warm white (2700K) to achieve sufficient brightness while keeping energy use and heat output low.

Can it be installed on a standard ceiling?

No. The 32kg weight requires secure fixing into ceiling joists or a reinforced mounting point capable of supporting at least 40kg. A qualified electrician should assess the ceiling structure before installation and may need to install a spreading plate or additional bracing.

How is the crystal cleaned?

Switch off the power and allow bulbs to cool. Remove dust with a dry microfibre cloth or a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, individual crystal elements can be wiped with a barely-damp cloth and distilled water, then dried immediately to prevent water spots. Avoid spraying cleaners directly onto the fitting or allowing moisture near the bulb holders.
