Torre 5 Light Crystal Flush Chandelier 40cm - Polished Chrome

The Torre is a 40cm diameter flush chandelier built around a cylindrical polished chrome frame clad in mirrored crystal plates. Five GU10 bulb fittings sit inside the hollow cylinder, with light reflecting off the internal crystal surfaces and projecting through the faceted outer plates. The mirrored finish on each crystal plate creates rainbow refractions when the fitting is lit, while the chrome frame holds the assembly at the ceiling without hanging strands or chains.

Designed for rooms with ceiling heights between 2.4m and 2.7m where a traditional chandelier would hang too low, the Torre provides decorative lighting without needing significant drop clearance. The adjustable cable allows the fitting to be set anywhere between a 1000mm minimum and 3000mm maximum drop, meaning it works equally in compact hallways and double-height entrance areas. The 400mm diameter suits spaces of 10-16m² as a primary ceiling light or works as accent lighting in larger rooms paired with downlights.

The hollow cylinder construction means the 6.1kg weight sits close to the ceiling rather than pulling on a long drop, reducing strain on older ceiling roses. The polished chrome finish provides a reflective surface that amplifies the crystal refraction, while the mirrored plates themselves are facet-cut rather than smooth, creating a more dynamic light pattern than flat mirror glass. The five GU10 fittings accept standard mains-voltage bulbs without needing a transformer, and dimmer compatibility depends on the specific GU10 bulb chosen.

Each Torre chandelier requires 46 separate hooks for assembly — the mirrored crystal plates attach to the frame using individual wire hooks, which means the fitting arrives flat-packed and requires careful assembly on installation. Once fitted, the plates can be cleaned individually by removing each from its hook, wiping with a dry microfibre cloth, and re-hanging.

What bulbs does the Torre take?

The fitting takes five GU10 mains-voltage bulbs up to 50W each, sold separately. Most users pair this with 4-6W LED GU10 bulbs in warm white (2700K-3000K) for ambient lighting or cool white (4000K) for task lighting in kitchens and bathrooms.

Is it suitable for low ceilings?

Yes. The 1000mm minimum drop and flush cylindrical design make the Torre suitable for ceiling heights from 2.4m upwards. The fitting projects approximately 250mm from the ceiling when set to minimum drop, leaving adequate headroom in standard UK residential rooms.

Is it dimmable?

The fitting itself is dimmable-compatible, but dimming depends on the specific GU10 bulbs installed. Use dimmable-rated GU10 LEDs and pair with a trailing-edge (electronic) dimmer for best results. Check the bulb packaging for dimmer compatibility before purchase.

How is the Torre assembled and installed?

The chandelier requires assembly before installation — 46 individual hooks attach the mirrored crystal plates to the chrome frame. Diyas provides assembly instructions with each fitting. Once assembled, the Torre mounts to a standard UK ceiling rose using the adjustable cable and ceiling plate. Professional installation is recommended due to the 6.1kg weight and assembly complexity.
