{"product_id":"solarae-8-light-suspension-antique-brass","title":"Solarae 8 Light Suspension - Antique Brass","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solarae is an 8-light suspension fitting with eight clear blown glass globes set on asymmetric brass arms radiating from a central vertical rod, finished in antique brass. Each globe houses a single G4 bulb fitting (bulbs sold separately), with the glass acting as a protective outer layer rather than a diffuser, so the light source remains visible when lit. The fitting measures 1280mm across at full extension and 440mm in height from ceiling plate to the lowest point of the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for large dining tables, open-plan kitchen islands and entrance halls with ceiling heights of 2.7m or above, the Solarae provides distributed light across a wide area from a single ceiling point. The asymmetric branch configuration means the light points spread unevenly, giving a more organic visual rhythm than a symmetrical chandelier. The 1280mm diameter suits tables or islands in the 2.4-3m length range, with the fixture sitting 700-900mm above the surface depending on ceiling height and personal preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe antique brass finish carries a warm, slightly aged tone with subtle tonal variation across the metal surface, sitting between polished brass (too bright) and oil-rubbed bronze (too dark). The blown glass globes show minor manufacturing variation in wall thickness and bubble distribution, characteristic of hand-blown rather than moulded glass. The G4 socket size means compact capsule bulbs are required — most installers pair this with LED G4 capsules in 2700K or 3000K to keep the warm tone consistent with the brass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1280\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e440\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimmable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber Of Bulbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBulb Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eG4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 Years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat bulbs does the Solarae take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fitting takes eight G4 capsule bulbs, sold separately. G4 is a bi-pin base commonly used in compact halogen and LED capsules. Most users pair this with LED G4 bulbs in warm white (2700K-3000K) to match the brass tone and avoid the higher running cost of halogen capsules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it dimmable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe specification lists the fitting as non-dimmable. However, dimming behaviour depends on the bulbs chosen and the dimmer type. If you plan to use a dimmer switch, select dimmable G4 LED bulbs and confirm compatibility with your dimmer model before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size table or island does it suit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1280mm diameter suits dining tables or kitchen islands in the 2.4-3m length range. For smaller tables the fitting may visually overwhelm the space; for larger islands or tables over 3.5m, two smaller pendants or a longer linear fitting may give better light distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the fitting installed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solarae mounts to a standard UK ceiling rose via the central ceiling plate. The brass arms are pre-assembled and ship in a protective box. Installation requires two people due to the 1280mm span and the need to support the frame while connecting to mains wiring. The fitting is rated IP20 for dry indoor locations only.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ideal Lux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45733180670219,"sku":"275215","price":629.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/275215_WEB001_EQUINOXE_SP8_OTTONE_2da8fb6e-df4b-4c17-90a6-912d1ed9a74c.jpg?v=1724715182","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/solarae-8-light-suspension-antique-brass","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
