Eight BC (bayonet cap) bulb holders sit behind the crystal curtain at 60W maximum per bulb. The chandelier measures 43cm diameter and 67cm drop, with an additional chain suspension allowing adjustment on installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for double-height entrance halls, formal dining rooms and stairwells with ceiling heights of 2.7m or above, the Vankra creates vertical presence without occupying excessive lateral space. The narrow 43cm diameter suits areas where a larger chandelier would overwhelm — side passages, hall landings, or dining tables under 1.2m diameter. The tiered crystal arrangement refracts light in multiple directions, throwing patterned reflections onto surrounding walls when lit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gold-plated brass frame supports the 7kg combined weight of the metal structure and crystal drops, distributing the load across the ceiling rose fixing. The crown features a ridged gallery edge and decorative spire finials, giving the chandelier a classical profile that references late 18th-century European designs. Each tier of crystal is composed of individual hand-cut Strass lead crystal drops threaded onto brass pins, allowing the crystals to catch both natural daylight and artificial light once bulbs are installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gold plating provides a warm metallic base that complements traditional and transitional interiors with warm-toned palettes, wooden panelling, or rich fabric furnishings. The BC bulb holders accept standard bayonet bulbs including LED filament styles, giving flexibility to choose the colour temperature and wattage that suits the room. Installing eight 6W LED bulbs at 2700K delivers approximately 3,200 lumens total output with a warm glow through the crystal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e67cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber of Lights\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Wattage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBulb Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7KG\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 bulb type does the Vankra take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chandelier uses eight BC (B22 bayonet cap) bulbs, each rated to a maximum of 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED filament bulbs at 6-8W and 2700K for a traditional appearance with lower running costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat ceiling height is needed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 67cm drop plus chain suspension typically requires ceiling heights of 2.7m or above to prevent the chandelier sitting too low. For stairwells or double-height entrance halls with ceilings of 4-5m, the chandelier can be suspended lower to bring light down into the space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow are the crystals cleaned?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitch off power at the consumer unit before cleaning. Wipe each crystal drop with a dry microfibre cloth or use a barely-damp cloth with distilled water for stubborn marks. Avoid soaking the crystals or using household glass cleaners, which can leave residue on lead crystal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the gold plating durable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gold plating is applied to solid brass. It resists tarnishing under normal indoor conditions but may show wear over time in humid environments or if cleaned with abrasive materials. Wipe the frame with a soft dry cloth only — do not use metal polish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Impex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51513751863563,"sku":"ST03016\/45\/08\/G","price":1019.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/ST03016-45-08-G_714f91c7-9d1c-4263-b8a5-7322609ef464.jpg?v=1748622679","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/vankra-8-light-crystal-chandelier-gold-plated-brass","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
