Description
The Valparaiso is a round ceiling light that sits close to the ceiling. It has a polished chrome steel band at the top and tier upon tier of clear brilliant glass drops stepping inward towards the centre. It measures 78cm across and 38.5cm high, so it suits a generous room with a good height of ceiling. Inside, sixteen E14 lampholders take bulbs of up to 40W each, and the bulbs are not included. With an IP20 rating, this chrome ceiling light is made for indoor rooms that stay dry.
We would hang it over a dining table, in the middle of a living room or in a wide hallway, anywhere a single light has to carry the whole room. Faceted glass breaks light into small flashes of colour, so with all sixteen lamps lit the drops scatter a lively sparkle across walls and ceiling. The chrome band picks up the same glitter and sits as comfortably in a classic scheme as in a modern one with mirrored or metallic accents. For anyone who would rather have a single generous ceiling light than several small ones, it gives the room a clear centrepiece.
The body is steel in a chrome finish, and the clear brilliant glass drops hang in concentric rings around the lampholders. There is no switch on the light itself: it is switched at the wall, so your existing wall switch controls it. It is a wired mains light running on 220-240V, 50/60Hz, so a qualified electrician should install it. The packed weight is 39.657KG, so allow for a helping hand when you carry and unpack it. Have your E14 bulbs of up to 40W ready before fitting day; the installation instructions are available as a download.
