# Title: Glass Chandeliers ## Description: Glass chandeliers stay visually light at almost any size, because you look through the fixture rather than around it. A wide glass frame can span a table without closing off the room behind it, which a solid metal frame of the same width would do the moment it went up. How to choose glass chandeliers Clarity decides the light. Clear glass shows the lamps and throws sharp reflections across a ceiling. Smoked or tinted glass softens both and mutes the sparkle. Opal hides the source completely and turns each shade into an even glow that carries no visible filament. That choice matters most over a table, where people sit beneath the fixture for an hour at a stretch. A clear shade with a visible filament looks striking from the doorway and bright from a chair, so pair it with a low output lamp or a dimmer. Opal is the setting that asks nothing of the bulb. Frame construction is the second question. Separate globes on individual stems can be arranged at staggered heights and replaced one at a time. A single blown body or a fitted panel array is one piece, which looks cleaner and is less forgiving if something gets knocked. Glass types and upkeep for glass chandeliers Dust shows sooner on glass than on metal or fabric, so plan the cleaning route before settling the mounting height. Clear: the most reflective and the quickest to show marks, and it needs a soft cloth to stay sharp. Ribbed or fluted: hides fingerprints in the pattern but collects dust in the grooves. Smoked: tones down reflections and forgives a light film between cleanings. Opal: even in appearance, simple to wipe, and it conceals the lamp entirely. Reach is the practical limit. Over a dining table you can work from a chair; over a stairwell you cannot. Where the fixture will sit high, favor fewer and larger pieces over many small ones, because cleaning time scales with the number of parts. Which glass chandelier for which room Glass type Best in What it does Price here Clear globes A dining room, an entry hall Bright points at several heights, bulbs on show $132 to $1,720 Frosted and opal A table people sit under Softened points with nothing bright to stare at $138 to $6,539 Milk glass A kitchen, a farmhouse dining room An even creamy glow with no visible source $580 to $1,469 Fluted and shaped shades A dining room, a living room Ridges and curves that break up the glare $220 to $960 Amber, smoked and mirrored A bar, a stairwell, a feature room Tinted light and reflections across the ceiling $390 to $8,039 Vintage frames A traditional dining room, a hall Shaped glass held on an aged metal frame $121 to $3,340 Terms used here E27 socket The large screw fitting for a standard bulb, and the most common socket on this page. On a clear glass shade the bulb is visible from the whole room, so its shape and its warmth are as much a part of the result as the glass. G9 capsule A small pin lamp pushed into two holes rather than screwed in. A good part of this range uses it, usually where a shade is too shallow for a screw bulb. Keep spares, because a wide frame uses several at once. Hardwired to a ceiling box Connected to the wiring inside a box fixed in the ceiling, with no plug. Most frames here install this way. Glass adds weight, so read the figure on the product page before assuming the existing box will carry it. Flush mount A frame fitted against the ceiling instead of hanging below it. A fair share of this page is built that way, which suits a room with a standard ceiling where a hanging frame would get in the way of a door or a walking path. Bulb included Most fixtures here arrive with lamps and some do not, which each product page states. Where none is supplied, buy a matched set at once, since a frame with mismatched bulbs shows the difference through clear glass immediately. Common questions on glass ceiling lights Is the glass fragile once it is installed? In place it is stable, since nothing touches it after the fitting is up. The risk sits in installation and cleaning, when a shade knocks against the frame. Fit the glass last, after the body is on the box and the wiring is done, and tighten the collars by hand only. How do I clean the shades without removing them? A dry microfiber duster handles routine dust, then a cloth barely damp with water and a little dish soap lifts marks, wiped dry straight after. Switch the power off at the wall and let the lamps cool first. Ammonia based sprays can dull a coated or tinted surface. Clear or opal above a dining table? Opal for comfort, clear for effect. Opal spreads an even light and nothing glares from a seated position. Clear puts the lamps on show and looks stronger from the doorway, and it works over a table when the circuit runs through a dimmer and the bulbs are low output. Close matches: Crystal Chandeliers, Brass Chandeliers, Rattan Chandeliers and Glass Pendant Lights. The parent category is Chandeliers. Can I install a glass chandelier myself? The electrical work is standard and the glass is the risk. These are hardwired fixtures needing a ceiling box rated for the load, and the frames here run from two lamps to more than a dozen. What is particular to glass is sequence: the shades come packed separately and should stay packed until the frame is mounted and wired, because a shade fitted early takes the weight of every adjustment afterwards. Shades thread or clip on, so gloves and a second pair of hands matter more than tools. Installation is not included and is not quoted here. How much does a glass chandelier cost on this page? The 84 fixtures here run from $121 to $5,390. The middle sits near $510 and nine in ten cost under $1,740. Hand blown and ribbed shades sit above pressed or plain glass at the same size. Clear or opal glass above a dining table? Clear glass shows the lamp, which looks sharper and puts a bright point in the eye line of anyone sitting across the table. Opal or frosted glass hides the lamp and spreads the same output, which is why it is the easier choice directly over a table. The compromise used across this range is clear glass with a frosted lamp inside, which keeps the look of the shade without the hot spot. ## Products count: 84 ## Link: https://www.orodwell.com/collections/glass-chandeliers ## Products -
