Lumen 8 Light Chandelier - Gold & Matt Black

The Lumen is an 8-light chandelier with eight clear glass globes radiating from a central matt black stem, each globe mounted on an arm that combines matt black tubing with gold detailing. The globes themselves are double-layered — a frosted inner G9 bulb housing surrounded by a clear glass sphere — and the arms extend at staggered heights to form a circular silhouette 59cm in diameter. The ceiling canopy is polished gold.

Designed for dining tables in rooms with 2.4-2.7m ceiling heights, the 112cm total drop (including canopy and chain) positions the chandelier 70-90cm above a table surface depending on installation. The eight G9 fittings take halogen or LED capsule bulbs up to 28W each (bulbs sold separately), providing directional light outward from the frosted inner bulbs while the clear outer glass acts as a secondary diffuser. The circular arrangement means light spreads evenly around a table or seating area rather than pooling in one direction.

The gold and matt black finish pairing gives the chandelier mid-century references without copying a specific period style — the black stem and arms provide the structural framework while the gold canopy, arm ends and globe mounts add warm metallic accents. At 3.1kg the fitting has enough weight to hang stably on a standard UK ceiling rose but does not require reinforced fixings. The matt black finish on the arms minimises reflections from table surfaces and contrasts with the polished gold detailing at each globe mount and the ceiling canopy.

What bulbs does it take?

The Lumen takes eight G9 capsule bulbs up to 28W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with 3-5W LED G9 capsules in warm white (2700K-3000K) for ambient dining light.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 112cm total drop works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. For a dining table the chandelier typically sits 700-900mm above the table surface, which requires a ceiling height of at least 2.4-2.5m depending on table height.

Is it dimmable?

Dimmer compatibility depends on the specific G9 bulbs used. LED G9 capsules vary in dimmer compatibility — check the bulb packaging for dimmer requirements before pairing with a dimmer switch.

How is the height adjusted?

The chandelier suspends from a fixed drop rod. Height adjustment requires shortening or extending the rod during installation, which typically involves cutting the rod or replacing it with a different length rod from a lighting supplier.
