Know before you buy
Yes, the Vela 5-Arm Chandelier is designed to be adaptable to sloped ceilings, making it a versatile choice for rooms with vaulted or angled rooflines.
No, the five B10 candelabra-style bulbs are not included. You will need to purchase these separately, with a maximum wattage of 60 watts per bulb.
The chandelier carries an indoor damp location rating. This means it is safe to install in bathrooms or other indoor areas prone to moisture, but it is not intended for direct outdoor exposure.
The chandelier weighs 6 pounds. Because of its relatively light weight, it can typically be installed using standard junction boxes, though we always recommend consulting with a professional electrician to ensure your ceiling structure is secure.
The frosted glass shades are designed to soften the output of the candelabra bulbs, providing a diffused, gentle glow rather than harsh, direct light.
