Lumen 8 Light Chandelier - Chrome & Matt Black

The Lumen is an 8 light chandelier built around a central polished chrome canopy and stem, with matt black radial arms extending outward in a tiered arrangement. Each arm supports a clear glass globe containing a single G9 bulb (sold separately), and the globes are positioned at staggered heights to create an asymmetric cluster effect when viewed from below.

Designed for dining rooms with 2.7m or higher ceilings, double-height entrance halls, and lounge areas where a central overhead fitting anchors the space, the Lumen provides eight-point ambient light without requiring wall lights or floor lamps to balance the room. The 59cm diameter suits tables between 1.6-2.2m long, with the staggered globe arrangement preventing a single horizontal plane of light and reducing glare when seated at the table. The chandelier hangs from a chrome ceiling rose with a fixed drop of 112cm from ceiling to the lowest globe.

The contrast between the polished chrome canopy and the matt black arms creates a two-tone graphic that reads clearly against both white and darker ceilings. The clear glass globes allow full visibility of the bulb filament, so the choice of G9 bulb (LED, halogen, or dimmable warm-white LED) directly influences the fixture's character when lit. The chandelier weighs 3.1kg, which sits comfortably within the load capacity of standard UK ceiling fixings when installed into a joist or ceiling support.

What bulbs does it take?

The Lumen takes eight G9 capsule bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this chandelier with warm-white LED G9 bulbs rated between 2.5-4W, which provide enough combined output for ambient dining light without excessive brightness. The clear glass globes show the bulb visibly, so choose a bulb style (filament, frosted, or clear capsule) that suits the room's aesthetic.

Is it dimmable?

Dimmer compatibility depends on the bulbs chosen. If you fit dimmable G9 LED bulbs, the chandelier can be controlled with a compatible LED dimmer switch. Halogen G9 bulbs are universally dimmable with standard trailing-edge dimmers.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 112cm drop from ceiling to lowest globe suits rooms with ceiling heights of 2.7m or above. In a dining room, this typically positions the chandelier 700-850mm above the table surface, depending on exact ceiling height. Lower ceilings may result in the chandelier sitting too close to head height when standing.

Can the height be adjusted?

The Lumen has a fixed drop of 112cm. The suspension cable cannot be shortened or lengthened without modifying the internal wiring, which is not recommended.
