Know before you buy
This fixture uses four E12 candelabra base bulbs. We recommend choosing a warm-toned LED filament bulb to maintain the classic lantern aesthetic while ensuring energy efficiency.
Yes, the fixture is chain-hung, which allows you to adjust the suspension height to suit your ceiling clearance. You can remove or add chain links during installation to achieve your desired drop.
Polished nickel is a reflective, high-shine finish that can show fingerprints and dust more easily than matte or brushed metals. A quick wipe with a soft, dry microfiber cloth is usually all that is needed to keep it looking pristine.
The fixture itself is not inherently dimmable. If you wish to control the light levels, you will need to use dimmable-rated bulbs and ensure your wall switch is compatible with the specific LED bulbs you select.
The glass panels are accessible from the interior of the frame. You can clean them using a standard glass cleaner applied to a soft cloth, taking care to avoid getting moisture directly on the metal finish.
This fixture is designed for dry indoor locations. It is not rated for damp or wet environments, so it should not be installed in bathrooms with showers or in outdoor areas exposed to the elements.
