Compare the listed diameter with the room or with the table below it, and the drop with your ceiling height. As a guide, leave 75-85 cm (30-33 in) between a dining table surface and the lowest point of the fixture. Send us your room dimensions and ceiling height and we will confirm the right size before you order - the diameter, tier count and suspension length can be adapted on most models.

Every listing gives the body material, finish family and style grouping, and the gallery shows the model as built rather than a rendering. Finish names describe colour and surface treatment, not the base material. Crystal, glass and metal read differently in daylight than under lamp light, so if an exact match matters, ask us for a material sample before you order.

This is stated on each listing. Where the specification says bulb included, the lamp is supplied; where it gives a number of bulbs, the fixture is supplied for that many lamps and the bulbs are not included. Fixtures are rated 110-240V and work on US, Canadian and EU supply without an external transformer. 3000 K is standard; other colour temperatures and dimming can be specified on request.

Chandeliers and pendants arrive in tiers with a numbered assembly sequence, a hardware list and a ceiling plate; suspension is by chain or wire unless the listing says flush or semi-flush. Tell us what you are fixing to - concrete slab, timber joist, steel truss or suspended ceiling - and we will confirm the arrangement and give you the finished weight and load figures for your contractor. Ceiling lights and wall lights fit a standard junction box or wall box, and floor and table lamps are freestanding.
