Niagara 16 Light Crystal Chandelier - Gold

The Niagara is a 16 light crystal chandelier built on a gold-finished metal frame with seven descending tiers of crystal strands, creating a 170.5cm waterfall effect from a 51.5cm diameter canopy. Each tier holds cut crystal drops of varying lengths that hang in vertical strands, with the longest reaching down from the bottom tier to extend the overall visual drop. The 16 E14 bulb fittings are distributed across the upper tiers, hidden behind the crystal curtain.

Designed as a statement piece for entrance halls, stairwells and double-height reception rooms with ceiling heights of 3.5m or above, the Niagara requires vertical space to accommodate its full 170.5cm suspended height. The chandelier is ceiling-mounted via a circular gold canopy that conceals the wiring and provides structural support for the entire frame. The E14 bulbs (sold separately) sit behind the crystal strands, so when lit the crystals act as diffusers and reflectors rather than the bulbs being directly visible from below.

The gold finish on the metal frame is a warm-toned antique gold rather than polished yellow gold, which reduces reflectivity and allows the crystal to remain the primary visual focus. Each crystal strand is individually attached to its tier ring, creating a dense curtain effect where light passing through one crystal is refracted through several others before reaching the room. The seven-tier construction means the chandelier tapers as it descends, with the widest tier at the top near the canopy and progressively narrower tiers creating the waterfall silhouette. The IP20 rating limits installation to dry indoor locations only.

The Niagara ships with assembly required — the crystal strands attach to pre-wired tier rings during installation. The fixed 175cm height listed in the specification suggests limited or no height adjustment on the suspension chain, so the full drop dimension should be confirmed against your ceiling height before purchase. With 16 bulbs at up to 60W each, the chandelier can draw up to 960W on full load, though most users fit lower-wattage LED E14 candle bulbs in the 4-6W range to reduce heat and running cost.

Product Manual

What bulbs does the Niagara take?

The chandelier takes 16 E14 (small Edison screw) bulbs, each rated up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most installations use 4-6W LED E14 candle bulbs in warm white (2700K-3000K) to reduce heat output and running cost while maintaining the warm glow through the crystals.

What ceiling height is needed?

With a 170.5cm suspended drop and a fixed height of 175cm, the Niagara is designed for rooms with ceiling heights of at least 3.5m. Lower ceilings will result in the bottom tier sitting too close to head height in circulation areas. Measure your ceiling height before ordering to confirm suitability.

Is the chandelier supplied assembled?

No. The metal frame tiers are pre-wired, but the individual crystal strands must be attached during installation. This is detailed in the product manual linked in the Downloads section. Installation typically requires two people and 1-2 hours to complete the crystal attachment and wiring connection.

Can it be fitted to a sloped ceiling?

The chandelier is designed for horizontal ceiling installation. Sloped ceilings may require a specialist canopy adapter to ensure the frame hangs vertically. The fixed suspension height of 175cm also limits flexibility on angled installations — consult a qualified electrician before attempting to fit to a non-horizontal ceiling.
