Know before you buy
The fixture emits a warm, inviting glow at 2700K, producing a total of 2350 lumens. Because of the opalescent perspex diffusers, the light is soft and diffused, making it ideal for creating an airy, comfortable atmosphere in dining or living areas.
Yes, the fixture comes with a generous 133-inch cable, allowing you to adjust the suspension height to suit your ceiling clearance and room layout during installation.
Yes, the Astep 2065 is a hardwired fixture and is UL certified for safety. We recommend having a licensed electrician handle the installation to ensure it is properly mounted and connected to your home's electrical system.
The fixture uses 5 E14 base LED bulbs. While the bulbs are replaceable, the fixture is designed to work specifically with the included LED configuration to maintain its intended light output and energy efficiency.
The pendant weighs 2.7 kg (approximately 6 pounds). This is relatively lightweight for a chandelier of this size, so it typically does not require special structural reinforcement, though it should be mounted to a standard, secure junction box.
The two saucers are crafted from opalescent PMMA, a high-quality acrylic material. Astep uses recycled and recyclable versions of this material to honor the original 1950s design while meeting modern sustainability standards.
