Description
The Solum is a 1020mm 12-light chandelier built on a polished chrome frame with twelve curved arms radiating from a central column. Each arm carries a single E14 bulb fitting covered by a white organza shade, and the central column is dressed with faceted crystal pendants and a diamond-shaped crystal drop. The chandelier suspends on a velvet-covered chain that conceals the electrical cable.
Designed for dining rooms, double-height entrance halls and sitting rooms with ceiling heights of 2.7m or above, the Solum provides ambient light distributed across its 1m spread. The twelve E14 bulbs (sold separately) are dimmable when paired with a compatible dimmer switch, allowing the light level to be adjusted for dining, evening relaxation or entertaining. The organza shades soften the direct light from each bulb while the crystal pendants catch and refract light across the frame.
The chrome finish on the metalwork provides high reflectivity, amplifying the light output from the bulbs and the sparkle from the crystal elements. The white organza shades introduce a soft textile contrast to the hard chrome and crystal surfaces, giving the fitting a layered material presence rather than a purely metallic one. At 580mm drop from ceiling rose to lowest point before the chain length, the chandelier projects visibly into the room without dominating ceiling height in typical 2.7-3m residential spaces.
The velvet chain covering is a practical detail that prevents bare metal chain from showing in tall installation scenarios where the chain must be extended to reach the ceiling rose. The IP20 rating confirms indoor dry-location use only — this fitting is not suitable for bathrooms, covered outdoor areas or any environment with moisture exposure.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Solum take?
The chandelier takes twelve E14 small Edison screw bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED candle bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K-3000K to achieve ambient dining-room light levels. Total wattage depends on your chosen bulb specification.
Is it dimmable?
Yes, when fitted with dimmable E14 bulbs and connected to a compatible dimmer switch. Check your dimmer model's compatibility with LED bulbs if using LEDs rather than halogen.
What ceiling height is needed?
The 580mm body drop plus chain length typically requires ceiling heights of 2.7m or above to avoid the chandelier hanging too low over a dining table. For typical dining table clearance of 700-800mm above the table surface, you need approximately 2.4m floor-to-ceiling minimum once table height is factored in.
How is the crystal maintained?
Dust the crystal pendants with a dry microfibre cloth or a soft feather duster. For more thorough cleaning, individual crystal elements can be wiped with a barely-damp lint-free cloth and distilled water, then dried immediately to avoid water spotting. Do not spray cleaners directly onto the chandelier while installed.
