How do I know what size chandelier to order?

Add your room's length and width in feet — that number read as inches is a good target diameter. A 12 x 14 ft room points to roughly a 26 inch fixture. Then check your ceiling height. Or send us both figures and we will name the exact fixture and size that fits, free and with no obligation.

What if the fixture arrives damaged?

Every order ships fully insured, with crystal and glass packed piece by piece. Photograph the damage the day it lands and keep the original carton. We send the replacement part or the whole fixture at our cost.

Installation: Hardwired. Licensed electrician recommended. Mount the canopy to a junction box rated for the fixture weight; the 23 and 24-light versions carry substantial crystal and need a support bracket into ceiling framing plus lift access. Two people are needed for clusters of 9 lights and up.
Wire adjustment: Each wire adjusts at the canopy and can be shortened on site. Set and lock every wire before energizing.
Lighting: Integrated LED strips, 10W per capsule; no bulbs to replace. Fixed-color versions use an on/off switch; the remote control version dims and switches color from its remote and should not be paired with a wall dimmer.
Cleaning: Power off at the breaker. Wipe the crystal capsules with a dry microfiber cloth; for smudges, use a lightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Wipe the frames and canopy with a soft dry cloth; avoid abrasive or acidic cleaners on plated finishes. Clean tall installations from a landing or with an extension pole.
Checkups: Re-check the canopy fixing and each wire lock one week after installation, then annually.

Rae scales by capsule count and canopy diameter, with two drop lengths, so ceiling height sets the drop, opening width sets the canopy, and room area sets the number of capsules. At 10W per capsule every size is bright, so choose the remote version if the fixture will be the main light in a living space.

Light count guide (how many capsules do you need):

6 Lights, 15.7" (40cm) canopy, 78.7" (200cm) drop, 5,400-6,000 lumens: Single-story stairwells, entryways, and living rooms with 12-14 ft (3.7-4.3m) ceilings; about 215-270 sq ft (20-25 m²).
9 Lights, 15.7" (40cm) canopy, 78.7" (200cm) drop, 8,100-9,000 lumens: Entry halls and living rooms with 12-16 ft (3.7-4.9m) ceilings; a denser column in the same footprint; about 270-325 sq ft (25-30 m²).
12 Lights, 19.7" (50cm) canopy, 78.7" (200cm) drop, 10,800-12,000 lumens: Two-story stairwells 4-6 ft (1.2-1.8m) wide with 14-18 ft (4.3-5.5m) ceilings; about 325-430 sq ft (30-40 m²).
23 Lights, 19.7" (50cm) canopy, 78.7" (200cm) drop, 20,700-23,000 lumens: Two-story foyers 8' × 8' (2.4 × 2.4m) and hotel lobbies with 14-18 ft (4.3-5.5m) ceilings; the densest cascade at this drop.
24 Lights, 23.6" (60cm) canopy, 118.1" (300cm) drop, 21,600-24,000 lumens: Foyers 10' × 10' (3 × 3m), stairwells 6 ft+ (1.8m+) wide, and villa entrance halls with 18-22 ft (5.5-6.7m) ceilings.

Finish guide (gold or chrome):

Gold: Warms the crystal with a champagne cast; suits cream, wood, and marble interiors and matches brass rails.
Chrome: Keeps the crystal cool and white; suits grey, white, marble, and modern interiors.

Light color guide (which version to choose):

Warm White (3000K): Residential stairwells, foyers, and living rooms; pairs with the gold finish and gives the crystal a champagne sparkle.
Cool White (6000K): Hotel lobbies and modern grey or white interiors with the chrome finish; maximum sparkle.
Remote control: Switches between warm and cool white and dims from the included remote; choose it for foyers and living rooms used both day and evening, since the full output of every size is high.
Matching: Keep the capsules at the same color temperature as sconces and recessed lights visible from the staircase.

By placement:

Staircase / stairwell: 9 to 24 Lights centered in the open well, capsules staggered to follow the stair's rise.
Two-story foyer: 12 to 24 Lights centered in the opening so the capsules read from the entry and the landing.
High-ceiling entryway: 6 Lights with the drop shortened for 12-14 ft (3.7-4.3m) ceilings.
High-ceiling living room: 6 to 12 Lights over a seating group in double-height rooms of 14 ft+ (4.3m+).
Hotel lobbies: 23 or 24 Lights as a centerpiece, or several 9 to 12 Light clusters in a row.
Sloped ceiling: All sizes mount on angled ceilings; the wires hang vertically.

Hanging height rules by room (practical)

Stairwell: Keep the lowest capsule at least 7 ft (2.13m) above the treads it hangs over and 6" (15cm) clear of the rail; set the highest capsules near the top third of the well.
Foyer: Maintain 7 ft (2.13m) of floor clearance; in two-story spaces, spread the capsules so the cascade's center sits level with the second-floor line.
Living room: Keep the lowest capsule 7 ft (2.13m) above walking areas unless it hangs over a table.
Over a console or table: Set the lowest capsule 30-36" (76-91cm) above the surface with a 10 ft ceiling; add 3" (7.6cm) per additional foot.

Placement tips that prevent common mistakes

Drop calculation: The listed height is the maximum with wires fully extended; every wire shortens on site. Each capsule adds 11.8" (30cm) below its wire.
Stagger plan: Cut wires to a descending pattern so the capsules overlap in view like a waterfall; capsules at one level read as a flat ring.
Proportion check: Keep the canopy diameter under one-third of the stairwell or foyer opening width.
Output check: The 23 and 24 Lights exceed 20,000 lumens; in a home foyer, choose the remote version to set an evening level.
Air movement: Capsules on fine wires sway near HVAC vents or open doors; keep the canopy 3 ft (0.9m) or more from vents.

Which lighting control system should I choose?

Choose based on your needs. Single temperature (warm 3000K or cool 6000K) works for basic setups. RC remote dimming offers adjustable temperatures (2800K-6000K) with basic control. The APP/Remote system provides full smart control with dimming and color adjustment through your phone. For home automation integration, the APP version is recommended.

How many crystal heads do I need for my staircase?

For standard staircases, 4-9 heads provide good coverage. Medium staircases need 12-18 heads for proper illumination. Large or grand staircases require 24 heads. Each head adds light coverage and visual impact. Consider your staircase width and desired brightness level.

Can I clean the crystal tubes myself?

Yes, but carefully. Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth for weekly dusting. Monthly cleaning with crystal-specific cleaner on a cloth (never spray directly). Always clean with lights off and cool. Support each tube while cleaning to prevent stress on mounting points.

How are the crystal capsules arranged?

Crystal capsules can be arranged in linear or staggered patterns. The adjustable hanging system allows custom positioning to follow staircase angles or create unique designs. Professional installers can help plan the optimal arrangement for your space.

How many capsules do I need for my staircase is rae?

Match the count to ceiling height: 6-9 Lights for single-story spaces up to 16 ft (4.9m), 12 Lights for two-story wells of 14-18 ft (4.3-5.5m), 23 Lights for dense foyer and lobby cascades in the same range, and 24 Lights for foyers and halls of 18-22 ft (5.5-6.7m).

Exactly the coverage we needed

We went back and forth between two sizes for our living room. Sent the room dimensions in and got a straight answer the same day. Installed on a standard 9-foot ceiling with no issues.

Install went smoothly

Two-storey entryway. Our electrician handled the mounting in about two hours. Packaging was serious - every strand wrapped separately, nothing chipped.

Worth the wait

Shipping took longer than I hoped, but it arrived in the window they quoted and the fixture is a lot of presence. Measure carefully first.

Modern Chandelier replied

Thanks Elena - transit on the larger configurations does run to the back half of our stated window. We show the estimate on every product page so there are no surprises.
