How bright is it?
Lumen output depends on the bulbs used (6 bulbs, not included). With standard 60W incandescent bulbs, expect approximately 4800 lumens - bright enough to illuminate a large dining room or foyer as the primary light source. 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 27 inches wide by 27 inches deep by 26 inches high. It hangs from a single canopy and requires a ceiling height of at least 8 feet. The larger size makes it suitable for a 8-10 ft dining table or a spacious foyer.
