{"product_id":"vanguard-4-light-hexagonal-chandelier-old-black","title":"Vanguard 4 Light Hexagonal Chandelier - Old Black","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vanguard is a 512mm hexagonal chandelier built around a steel frame finished in old black, housing four E14 candelabra-style bulbs arranged symmetrically within the open geometric frame. The hexagon structure measures 512mm across both width and depth, creating a substantial angular presence that reads as both industrial and architectural rather than purely decorative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for dining areas, kitchen islands and entrance halls with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above, the Vanguard provides both ambient and decorative function. The drop is adjustable between 433mm and 1386mm on installation, allowing the chandelier to be positioned 700-900mm above a dining table or work surface depending on ceiling height. A convertible design allows the fitting to be installed as a semi-flush mount in rooms with lower ceilings, reducing the drop to 433mm while retaining the geometric frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe old black finish is a textured, slightly weathered steel surface rather than a smooth powder coat, giving the metal visible grain and tonal variation that softens the industrial form. The open hexagonal frame allows light from the four bulbs to cast shadows and outlines onto surrounding walls and ceilings, amplifying the geometric structure after dark. Each E14 socket takes bulbs up to 40W (sold separately), with filament-style LED bulbs commonly paired to keep the exposed bulbs visible within the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe steel construction gives the chandelier a solid 3.5-4kg weight, requiring secure ceiling fixing into a joist or using a suitable ceiling plate rated for the load. The Vanguard pairs with both industrial interiors (exposed brick, concrete, metal fixtures) and warmer traditional settings where the hexagonal geometry acts as a counterpoint to softer furnishings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitting Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e413mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e512mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e512mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Drop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e433mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Drop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1386mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Wattage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSocket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eE14\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBulb(s) Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGuarantee\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 Year Guarantee\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 bulbs does it take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vanguard takes four E14 (small Edison screw) candelabra bulbs up to 40W each.
