Strands of faceted crystal beads drape between the upper chrome ring and the two lower tiers, while individual teardrop crystals hang from each tier in a cascading formation. The chrome rings provide structure and reflect light back through the crystals, multiplying the refractive effect when the chandelier is lit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for high-ceiling spaces such as two-storey entrance halls, stairwells and formal dining rooms, the Sophia requires a minimum 3-metre ceiling height to accommodate its 1580mm minimum drop. The maximum 3080mm drop allows the chandelier to be suspended well into double-height spaces without the lower tier sitting too close to head height. The 31.5kg weight demands a ceiling fixing rated for the load and a reinforced ceiling rose or joist-mounted bracket. The chandelier is supplied with adjustable chain, allowing the drop to be set during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the 17 bulbs can be dimmed using compatible E14 dimmable bulbs paired with a trailing-edge dimmer switch, allowing the chandelier to be used as both statement feature lighting when entertaining and lower-level ambient lighting for everyday use. The polished chrome finish catches and reflects both daylight and artificial light, so the chandelier remains visually active even when switched off. The crystal elements are individually hung on metal loops, making replacement straightforward if a single strand or droplet is damaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour Finish 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolished Chrome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e810mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Drop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1580mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Drop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3080mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber Of Bulbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp Socket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eE14\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax Wattage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDependent On Lamps Used\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVoltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e220-240V~50\/60Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimmable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes - Dimmable Lamps Required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31.5KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 Year\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 ceiling height is needed for the Sophia?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe minimum drop of 1580mm means you need at least a 3-metre ceiling height to avoid the lower tier sitting at head height.

Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this chandelier with E14 LED candle bulbs in warm white (2700K-3000K) at 4-6W per bulb for a combined output of 68-102W equivalent incandescent brightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it dimmable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, when paired with dimmable E14 bulbs and a compatible trailing-edge dimmer switch.

Standard plasterboard ceiling roses are not sufficient. If the ceiling fixing point does not align with a joist, a spreader plate or steel mounting bracket spanning multiple joists is required. Professional installation is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Diyas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52021564571915,"sku":"IL31431","price":1427.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/sophia_IL31431_WB_4f2da0e3-6eda-4ea2-a145-e43e194f940f.jpg?v=1754310210","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/sophia-17-light-crystal-chandelier-81cm-polished-chrome","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
