How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulbs used. This fixture accommodates 8 bulbs (not included) with a max wattage of 60W each, for a total potential output of up to 480W. Using 60W equivalent LED bulbs (about 800 lumens each) would yield approximately 6400 lumens - bright enough for a primary dining or living room light.
Light color and feel
The faceted crystals refract light, creating a sparkling, glamorous effect. For a warm, inviting atmosphere, use 2700K-3000K LED bulbs. The fixture is dimmable when used with dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch.
