Chandeliers have the ability to change the mood of a room, adding an extra level of lighting and style. In the past, chandeliers were considered elegant and something only that was covered in gold and crystal and reserved for the rich. Those days are long gone and chandeliers are available for everyone at affordable prices. They come in various designs and finishes and add a finishing touch to even the most rustic or contemporary spaces. The chandelier will become the centerpiece of any room in which it is added. Capital Lighting Chandeliers is the perfect company from which to purchase a chandelier. Before adding one of these beautiful lights to a home, be sure to ask the questions listed below.
Always make sure the electricity is off before cleaning. The metal pieces can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild liquid. Wipe and clean with the damp cloth. Buff with a dry, soft cloth. Use a fine furniture polish on the wood. Do not get polish on the metal. Hand wash glass with mild soap and soft cloth. Rinse completely. Dry thoroughly before replacing. Do not wash in a dishwasher.
A damp location is one where the fixture has indirect contact with humidity and moisture, such as in a bathroom or garage. A wet location is one where the fixture is directly exposed to water and able to hold up to substantial amounts, such as rain and snow. These fixtures are typically found outside.
The Capital Lighting Chandeliers are shipped from a warehouse located in Flowery Branch, Georgia. They ship orders 24 to 48 hours from purchase date. The arrival time of the chandelier after leaving the warehouse depends on the carrier and destination location.
There are over 1,000 dealers that have a showroom for and sell Capital Lighting Chandeliers across the United States and Canada. The Capital Lighting website provides a link to find local distributors.
The general rule for chandeliers is that the diameter (inches) of it should be equal to the length plus width (feet) of the room. If a room is 10 feet x 15 feet, the diameter of the chandelier should be 25 inches.
The lighting of each room should meet the needs of that room. First, identify the intent of the room, like reading, school work or preparing food. Remember dark colors absorb light, so more light is needed for rooms with dark colors. Be aware of the available outlets and their location. Rooms that serve more than one purpose may need more than one type of lighting.
A chandelier should typically hang about 30 inches about a table. The chandelier should also be about 12 inches more narrow than the table. If the ceiling in the room us higher than eight feet, the chandelier should be raised about two to three inches for each foot the ceiling is above eight feet.
Capital Lighting does not set the pricing or any discounts at which the chandeliers must be sold. Each individual dealer sets their own pricing. It is best to contact the dealers to find about sales on chandeliers or special pricing that they may offer.
