When buying a chandelier, consider the following:
- size of your room
- quality of the pendants and drip pans (pressed glass versus manually grinded)
- how the pendants are tied to the chandelier
- coating of the chandelier frame
- wiring
The chandelier in the room:
- The distance between the floor and the lowest part of the chandelier should be about 2 m
- If the chandelier hangs above a table, the distance should be about 1,80 m
Adjusting the pendants:
- The front of the pendant has a plain surface and shows towards the contemplator
- The reverse side of the pendant has a cut surface and shows towards the inner centre of the chandelier in order to optimize the reflection of light
Cleaning your chandelier:
- Disconnect the chandelier from the power supply
- The chandelier is left hanging
- Move all furniture out of the way
- Place blankets on the ground
- Take off the lamps, glass tubes and drip pans
- Wash the glass tubes and the drip pans separately
- Wipe the dust off the frame with a soft paint-brush
- Always use fibre-free soft, cotton cloths
- Spray glass cleaner on a cloth and carefully wipe each crystal
- Use another dry cloth to wipe the crystal clean immediately
- Wait until the chandelier is dry completely dry to assemble the completely dry drip pans, glass tubes and lamps
