Description
The Martina is an 8-light crystal chandelier built on a polished chrome frame with eight curved arms radiating from a central downrod, each arm supporting a cylindrical shade constructed from precision-cut crystal tubes. Each crystal tube encases a single G4 halogen bulb (sold separately, max 20W per socket), and the tubes refract and multiply the light output as it passes through the faceted crystal surfaces.
Designed for dining rooms, sitting rooms and entrance halls with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above, the Martina provides both functional and decorative lighting across a 550mm diameter. The chandelier hangs on a central downrod with an adjustable drop, allowing installers to set the overall height to suit the room and ceiling rose position. The polished chrome finish carries a high-gloss reflective surface that amplifies the light output and pairs cleanly with contemporary and modern classical interiors.
The cylindrical crystal shades are hand-strung from individual crystal elements in a repeating honeycomb pattern, giving each shade a faceted surface that catches and disperses light at multiple angles. The curved arms distribute the eight light sources evenly around the perimeter of the fitting, providing balanced illumination without a single dominant light point. At 5kg total weight the chandelier requires secure fixing to a ceiling joist or appropriate structural support.
The Martina is compatible with trailing-edge dimmers only — leading-edge or standard rotary dimmers will cause flicker or hum with low-voltage halogen G4 bulbs. The fitting is not compatible with LED or CFL bulbs due to transformer requirements specific to halogen G4 lamps.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Martina take?
The chandelier takes eight G4 halogen capsule bulbs, max 20W per socket, sold separately. The fitting is not compatible with LED or CFL G4 bulbs due to the transformer requirements for halogen lamps.
Is it dimmable?
Yes, but only with a trailing-edge dimmer specifically designed for low-voltage halogen lighting. Leading-edge or standard rotary dimmers will cause flicker or audible hum. Check your dimmer model before pairing with this chandelier.
What ceiling height is needed?
The chandelier suits rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. The 500mm body height plus the adjustable downrod typically positions the lowest point of the fitting 1.8-2m above floor level when installed over a dining table or in an entrance hall.
How is the crystal cleaned?
Switch off and allow bulbs to cool completely. Wipe each crystal tube gently with a dry microfibre cloth to remove dust. For fingerprints or smudges, use a barely-damp cloth with distilled water and dry immediately. Do not use spray cleaners or chemical polishes on the crystal or chrome surfaces.
