Description
The Truman is a 5-light chandelier built around five curved arms radiating from a central column, each arm supporting an etched opal glass shade and an E27 socket. The metal frame is finished in antique nickel, a mid-tone grey-silver with subtle darkening in the recesses that gives the fitting a weathered, lived-in character. The sloped arms arc outward and downward before curving back up to the bulb position, creating a broad 686mm diameter spread suitable for dining tables and larger rooms.
Designed for dining rooms, living rooms and entrance halls with ceiling heights of 2.7m or higher, the Truman provides both ambient and decorative lighting. The 733mm minimum drop suits standard ceiling heights, while the 1524mm adjustable chain extends the maximum drop to 2258mm for double-height spaces or above staircases. The etched opal glass diffuses light from the five bulbs evenly across the room, softening shadows without directing light sharply downward. Each socket takes a standard E27 bulb up to 60W (sold separately), allowing flexibility to choose LED, filament or halogen sources depending on desired light temperature and brightness.
The antique nickel finish sits between polished chrome and aged pewter in tone, making it compatible with both warm-toned and cool-toned interiors. The cast finials at the canopy, central stem and arm ends add traditional detailing without becoming ornate. The opal glass shades are smooth etched rather than clear, so the bulb filament is obscured when lit, giving a cohesive glow rather than visible point sources. The fitting weighs approximately 6kg once assembled and requires secure ceiling fixing into a joist or suitable ceiling structure.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Truman take?
The chandelier takes five E27 (Edison screw) bulbs up to 60W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED bulbs between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for dining and living spaces.
What ceiling height is needed?
The 733mm minimum drop suits ceiling heights of 2.7m or above when hung over a dining table. For entrance halls or double-height spaces, the adjustable chain extends the drop to 2258mm, allowing the fitting to be positioned lower in tall rooms.
Is the drop adjustable after installation?
The chain length is set during installation by removing or adding chain links before final wiring. Once installed and wired, the drop cannot be adjusted without taking the fitting down and re-wiring.
What diameter table does it suit?
The 686mm fitting diameter suits dining tables between 1200-1800mm in length or diameter. For smaller tables under 1200mm the spread may feel too wide; for tables over 2000mm a second fitting or a larger chandelier may be needed for balanced coverage.
