Description
The Sparklite is a 20 light suspension built around a central matt black column with radial brass arms supporting white blown glass globe shades. Each arm ends in a brass socket housing a G9 bulb (sold separately), and the white glass globes are acid-etched to diffuse the light evenly. The fitting measures 860mm in diameter and 890mm in height before accounting for the suspension cable drop.
Designed for large-volume spaces such as double-height entrance halls, dining rooms over tables seating eight or more, and open-plan living areas with ceiling heights of 3m or above, the Sparklite provides both ambient light and architectural presence. The twenty light sources distribute evenly around the central axis, giving 360-degree illumination without creating harsh shadows. The fitting is dimmable when paired with compatible G9 LED bulbs and a trailing-edge dimmer, allowing the light level to be adjusted from full bright to low ambient.
The matt black finish on the central column and the brass tone on the arms create a two-tone contrast that pairs with both warm metallics (copper, bronze, gold hardware) and cooler industrial finishes (steel, iron, concrete). The white blown glass globes soften the geometric structure of the radial arms and prevent glare from the exposed bulbs. At 860mm diameter the fitting requires a ceiling rose capable of supporting the combined weight of the metal frame, twenty glass shades and the electrical components, typically 8-12kg depending on bulb choice.
Ideal Lux manufactures the Sparklite in Italy. The fitting carries an IP20 rating, restricting it to dry indoor locations only, and is backed by a 5-year manufacturer warranty. The suspension cable is adjustable on installation, allowing the drop height to be set according to ceiling height and room proportion.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Sparklite take?
The fitting takes twenty G9 capsule bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this with G9 LED bulbs between 3-5W each, giving a combined output equivalent to a traditional 400-600W chandelier. Choose warm white (2700K-3000K) for residential dining and living spaces.
Is the Sparklite dimmable?
Yes, when paired with dimmable G9 LED bulbs and a compatible trailing-edge dimmer. The fitting itself does not contain dimming electronics, so dimmer compatibility depends on the bulbs you choose.
What ceiling height is needed?
The 890mm body height plus suspension cable drop means the fitting works best in rooms with ceiling heights of 3m or above. For dining table installation the lowest point of the fitting typically sits 700-900mm above the table surface, which requires a 2.7-3m ceiling to avoid the fitting feeling too low.
Can it be installed on a sloped ceiling?
The central column hangs vertically on a cable, so it can be fitted to a sloped ceiling as long as the ceiling rose is securely fixed and the fitting has clearance to hang plumb without touching walls or beams.
