Product Information
Full details
The Nimbus 9 Light Chandelier is designed for homeowners seeking a striking, contemporary lighting centerpiece. Its primary benefit is the dramatic visual impact it creates with its crystal starburst design, making it a versatile statement piece for various living spaces. A key consideration is that bulbs are not supplied, requiring a separate purchase. This chandelier features a unique ballerina ring-inspired design with coffin and faceted crystal drops, creating a floating effect due to its steel tension cable suspension, and offers adjustable height.

FAQs
What type of bulbs does the Nimbus 9 Chandelier use?
The chandelier uses 9 x E27 (screw cap) bulbs. While bulbs are not supplied, we recommend using LED filament lamps for both energy efficiency and aesthetic appeal.
Can I adjust the height of the chandelier?
Yes, the height is adjustable via the steel tension cables. It can be hung at a minimum height of 50cm from the ceiling.
Is this chandelier suitable for a sloped ceiling?
The design using tension cables may offer some flexibility, but suitability for sloped ceilings can vary. It's best to consult with an electrician during installation to assess compatibility.
How do I clean the crystal elements?
Gently dust the crystals with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately with another soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer. Please check the product packaging or contact the point of purchase for warranty details.
Does the chandelier come with installation hardware?
The chandelier comes with its suspension system (steel tension cables) and mounting components. However, standard electrical connection hardware and bulbs are not included.
What is the 'ballerina ring' inspiration?
The design is inspired by the shape and elegance of a ballerina's ring, characterized by its circular form and radiating elements, translated here into a starburst of crystal.
Troubleshooting
Chandelier does not light up
Ensure the power supply is on and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Verify that bulbs are correctly installed and functional. Confirm wiring connections are secure, and if unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
Flickering lights
Check if the bulbs are screwed in tightly. If using LED bulbs, ensure they are compatible with your dimmer switch or try replacing the bulbs. Inspect wiring for any loose connections.
Chandelier appears uneven or tilted
Verify that the steel tension cables are adjusted equally. Ensure the ceiling mounting point is stable and level. Re-adjust the cables to achieve a balanced hang.
Crystals are dusty and dull
Gently dust each crystal with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For a deeper clean, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid spraying cleaning solutions directly onto the fixture.
