Rhea 3 Light Crystal Chandelier - Polished Chrome 500mm

The Rhea is a 500mm 3 light crystal chandelier with a polished chrome frame, three curved arms each terminating in a clear cylindrical glass shade and faceted crystal drops suspended from the centre and arms. Each arm holds an E14 bulb (sold separately) inside a clear glass cylinder, with strands of faceted crystal buttons running from the ceiling canopy to the central column and further crystal teardrops hanging below each light and at the base.

Designed for dining rooms, bedrooms and hallways where ceiling height permits a minimum drop of 820mm (adjustable to 1790mm), the Rhea provides both direct light from the three bulbs and refracted light from the crystal elements. The glass cylinders prevent glare when the chandelier hangs at eye level in smaller dining rooms or entrance halls, while the crystal catches and splits the light into reflections across adjacent walls. The 500mm diameter suits tables of 1200-1600mm length or bedrooms of 12-15m².

The polished chrome finish on the frame and chain reflects surrounding light and pairs with cool-toned interiors, contemporary furniture and metallic bathroom fittings. The crystal drops are precision-cut to maximise refraction and the glass cylinders are hand-blown clear glass with a slight weight at the rim. At 3.05kg the chandelier requires a secure ceiling fixing into a joist or suitable ceiling anchor. Dimmable bulbs allow the light output to be adjusted from full brightness for dining to low ambient light for evening relaxation.

What bulbs does the Rhea take?

The Rhea takes three E14 (small Edison screw) bulbs up to 40W each, sold separately. Most users choose warm-white LED candle bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K-3000K for dining rooms. Dimmable bulbs are required if you want to adjust the light output.

What ceiling height is needed?

The minimum drop is 820mm from ceiling rose to the bottom of the crystal, so ceiling heights of 2.4m or above are recommended. The chain is adjustable on installation up to 1790mm total drop for higher ceilings or stairwells.

How is the crystal cleaned?

Switch off the power at the consumer unit before cleaning. Wipe each crystal drop individually with a dry microfibre cloth. For more thorough cleaning, dampen the cloth slightly with distilled water and dry immediately. Avoid household sprays or chemical cleaners which can leave residue on the faceted surfaces.

What size room does it suit?

The 500mm diameter suits dining rooms of 12-15m², bedrooms of similar size, or entrance halls where the chandelier hangs centrally. For dining tables, the Rhea works above tables between 1200-1600mm in length, with the chandelier centred 700-800mm above the table surface.
