Lumen 12 Light Chandelier - Gold & Matt Black

The Lumen is a 12-light chandelier with clear glass globe shades arranged across three tiered matt black arms that radiate from a central vertical stem, suspended from a polished gold canopy. Each globe houses a G9 bulb (sold separately) rated up to 28W, and the combination of inner frosted spheres within outer clear glass creates a layered diffusion that casts soft ambient light in multiple directions.

Designed for dining rooms, open-plan living areas and double-height entrance halls, the chandelier suits ceiling heights of 2.7m or above where the 112cm drop can be accommodated without the lower tier sitting too close to head height. The 70cm diameter works over dining tables seating 6-8 people or as a central feature in living spaces up to 25m². The radial arm structure distributes light evenly across the room rather than concentrating it in a single downward cone.

The matt black tubular arms provide graphic contrast against the polished gold canopy and lampholder fittings, while the dual-layer glass globes soften the hard-edged geometry of the frame. At 4.3kg the chandelier needs secure fixing to a ceiling joist or approved fixing point rated for the combined weight of the fitting plus twelve bulbs. The mix of black, gold and clear glass pairs with both warm-toned interiors (oak, brass, warm greys) and cooler palettes (marble, concrete, stainless steel).

What bulbs does it take?

The Lumen takes twelve G9 capsule bulbs, each rated up to 28W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED G9 bulbs between 2W-4W and 2700K-3000K for dining and living areas.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 112cm drop suits ceiling heights of 2.7m or above. In rooms with 2.4m ceilings the lower tier of globes may sit too low for comfortable head clearance in circulation areas. The chandelier works best suspended over a dining table or in a double-height space where the full drop can be appreciated.

Is it dimmable?

Dimmer compatibility depends on the bulb type. If using dimmable LED G9 bulbs, pair with a compatible LED dimmer switch. Standard halogen G9 bulbs dim on most trailing-edge or leading-edge dimmers.

What size room does it suit?

The 70cm diameter and 12-light output suit rooms up to approximately 25m² (5m x 5m). For smaller dining rooms the chandelier works over a table seating 6-8 people. In larger open-plan spaces it functions as a zoned accent rather than sole ambient lighting.
