Stairwell Chandelier, Alabaster Spheres, 8 Sizes

A Cascade Is Made to Be Read From the Side, and Not From Underneath It

Almost every chandelier is designed for someone standing under it. A cascade is not. Its whole shape lives in the vertical, which means the view that matters is the one from the floor below, from a landing, or across a room through a doorway. That changes where you put it. Over a round table it works because you see it from your seat at eye level, not because you look up into it. In a stairwell it works because you walk past the full length of it twice a day. In a room with a flat eight foot ceiling there is nowhere to stand that gives you that view, and the piece will read as a bunch of spheres rather than as a fall of light.

Questions about this product

Everything you need to know about this product.

Which version for a two floor stairwell?

The 12 or the 15 light. A 78.7 to 98.4 inch drop reads correctly over a single flight and a landing. The 18 light covers the same drop with more density, which suits a wide stairwell where the piece is visible from several angles.

How is the cascade set?

Each cord carries up to 3.3 ft of spare and is cut when the fitting goes up. That decides the whole shape of the piece, so it is worth standing in the space and marking the heights before your electrician starts cutting.

Are the bulbs supplied?

Yes, one E14 bulb per sphere comes with the fitting. They are replaceable, which matters on a stairwell piece, because reaching an eighteen sphere cascade is not something you want to do more often than you have to.

How much light does it give?

About 1 000 lm per sphere. The 18 light version reaches roughly 18 000 lm, which lights a full stairwell on its own. The single sphere, at about 1 000 lm, is a soft light for a basin or a bedside and nothing more.

Can it be dimmed?

As built it holds one level. In a stairwell that is less of a loss than it sounds, since the light is usually on or off rather than set to a level, but it is worth knowing first.

Black plate or brass plate?

Both appear in the photographs, and the plate finish is not a selectable option on this listing. Tell us which one you want and we will set it that way.

One Sphere on Its Own Is a Different Product, and It Is Worth Saying So

The single light version of this fitting is not a small chandelier. It is one alabaster sphere on a cord, about 1 000 lm, and it does the job a pendant does: light over a basin, beside a mirror, at the end of a bed. Buying it expecting the drama of the eighteen light version is the one mistake people make with a range that spans this far. What carries across is the material and the quality of the light, which is the same warm glow through veined stone at any count. What does not carry across is the shape of the thing, because the cascade only exists once several cords are cut to different lengths.
