{"product_id":"vela-8-light-crystal-chandelier-french-gold","title":"Vela 8 Light Crystal Chandelier - French Gold","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vela is a 76cm crystal chandelier with eight candle-style E14 bulb positions arranged on curved French gold arms, each surrounded by concave-cut crystal droplets and strands. The frame follows a scrolled design, with arms that curve outward from a central body before rising to support the candle cups. Crystal droplets hang from each arm and cascade down the centre column, refracting light across multiple planes when the chandelier is lit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for dining rooms, entrance halls and double-height living spaces with ceiling heights of 2.5m or above, the Vela provides both direct candle light and refracted crystal sparkle. The 760mm diameter suits tables 1.6-2.2m long or entrance halls 3-4m wide. The drop is adjustable between 850mm minimum and 2350mm maximum on installation, allowing the chandelier to be set 700-900mm above a dining table or hung lower in a two-storey hallway. The French gold finish carries a warm antique tone rather than bright polished yellow, sitting between traditional brass and rose gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe concave-cut crystals differentiate the Vela from flat-cut or faceted alternatives by creating curved surfaces that catch light from wider angles, producing more varied reflections when viewed from different positions in the room. At 8.9kg, the chandelier requires a ceiling rose rated for the combined weight and a secure fixing into a joist or ceiling support rather than plasterboard alone. Bulbs are sold separately — most users pair the Vela with warm-white LED candle bulbs between 4-6W per position to balance light output with running cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour Finish 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrench Gold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e760mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Drop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e850mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Drop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2350mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber Of Bulbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp Socket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eE14\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax Wattage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDependent On Lamps Used\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVoltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e220-240V~50\/60Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimmable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes - Dimmable Lamps Required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.9KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 Year\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 the Vela take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chandelier takes eight E14 small Edison screw bulbs up to 60W each.
