How bright is it?
Lumen output depends on the bulbs used (8 bulbs, not included). With standard 60W incandescent bulbs, expect approximately 6400 lumens - very bright, suitable as the primary light source for a large room. For a softer glow, use lower wattage or dimmable bulbs.
Light color and feel
Use warm white bulbs (2700K-3000K) to enhance the Arcadian Gold finish and crystal sparkle. The fixture is dimmable when used with compatible dimmer switches and dimmable bulbs, allowing you to adjust from a bright entertaining setting to a soft, intimate ambiance.
Sizing and fit
The pendant measures 20 inches wide by 20 inches deep by 34.25 inches high. It hangs from a single canopy and requires a ceiling height of at least 9 feet. The compact width but taller profile makes it ideal for spaces with high ceilings.
