Vivid 15 Light Crystal Chandelier - Silver Glass Arms

The Vivid is a 15 light crystal chandelier built on a silver-toned metal frame with transparent blown glass arms and cascading cut crystal pendants. Each of the fifteen E14 candle bulbs (sold separately) sits in a sconce at the end of a glass arm, with the light refracting through the surrounding crystal droplets suspended on wire strands below. The metal frame carries a silver finish that reads as a cooler-toned metallic grey rather than polished chrome.

Designed for rooms with ceiling heights of 2.7m or above, the Vivid suits formal dining rooms, entrance halls and double-height living spaces where the 950mm diameter and 710mm drop can be appreciated at scale. The chandelier mounts to a standard UK ceiling rose via a velvet-covered chain and cable, with the chain allowing the drop height to be adjusted during installation. The dimmable rating means it can be paired with compatible dimmer switches to vary light intensity from full brightness for dining or entertaining to ambient glow for background lighting.

The blown glass arms show slight variation in tonal clarity and bubble presence between individual pieces, typical of mouth-blown production rather than moulded glass. The crystal pendants are machine-cut rather than hand-cut, giving consistent facet angles across all droplets while keeping the chandelier accessible at this price point. The combination of silver metal, transparent glass and clear crystal works across traditional, Hollywood Regency and transitional interiors where a formal chandelier is needed without the warmer tones of brass or gold finishes.

The 15 light configuration provides substantial illumination when fitted with 15 x 40W-equivalent LED candle bulbs, typically 450-600 lumens per bulb depending on the specific LED chosen. The IP20 rating restricts installation to dry indoor locations only — not suitable for bathrooms, conservatories or outdoor covered areas.

Does the chandelier come with bulbs?

No. The Vivid requires 15 x E14 candle bulbs, sold separately. Most users fit warm-white LED candle bulbs between 4-6W (40W halogen equivalent) and 2700K-3000K colour temperature for dining and living spaces.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 710mm drop plus the 950mm diameter make this chandelier suitable for rooms with ceiling heights of 2.7m or above. In dining rooms it typically sits 750-900mm above the table surface, requiring a 2.8-3m ceiling to maintain comfortable head clearance around the table.

Is it compatible with dimmer switches?

The chandelier is rated as dimmable. Compatibility depends on the specific dimmer model and the LED bulbs chosen. Trailing-edge dimmers generally perform better with LED loads than leading-edge models. Test with your chosen bulbs before committing to a full installation.

How is the crystal cleaned?

The crystal pendants attract dust and can be wiped gently with a dry microfibre cloth while the chandelier is switched off and cool. For deeper cleaning, individual pendants can be unhooked from their wire loops and washed in warm water with a drop of washing-up liquid, rinsed, and dried with a lint-free cloth before rehanging.
