다이닝 테이블용 겹겹이 쌓인 링 샹들리에, 20~80 cm

Aluminium rings of different diameters hung at different heights, each with a diffuser, so the light comes from several planes at once. Nothing in the room ends up with a hard edge. The glow arrives from above, below and between the circles, and shadows fall soft rather than sharp.

A single flat ceiling fixture puts all of its output on one plane, which is why a large room under one light always looks slightly lifeless. Stacking circles breaks that up. The rings can be set at varying heights and angles, and what you get overhead is movement and balance: an airy, sculptural composition from the doorway, and smooth, comfortable ambient light once you sit down under it. It makes a striking focal point without shouting, and it reworks the simplest shape there is into something that reads as architecture.

Each ring is aluminium with an acrylic diffuser running its full circumference, so the built-in LED behind it shows as one continuous line of light instead of a row of visible points. There is no heavy detailing anywhere on the frame, and that restraint is precisely why plain circles hold up as the centrepiece of a room: the geometry does the work. Choose black, white or golden to sit with the metals and tones you already have.

Ten configurations, so the fixture can be scaled to the table or the room rather than the other way round. Single ring at ∅20 cm (7.9″), ∅40 cm (15.7″), ∅60 cm (23.6″) or ∅80 cm (31.5″). Two rings paired as ∅20 cm (7.9″) with ∅40 cm (15.7″), ∅40 cm (15.7″) with ∅60 cm (23.6″), or ∅60 cm (23.6″) with ∅80 cm (31.5″). Three rings as ∅20 cm (7.9″), ∅40 cm (15.7″) and ∅60 cm (23.6″), or as ∅40 cm (15.7″), ∅60 cm (23.6″) and ∅80 cm (31.5″). Or take all four together: ∅20 cm (7.9″), ∅40 cm (15.7″), ∅60 cm (23.6″) and ∅80 cm (31.5″). Weight runs from 2.3 kg to 4 kg depending on which you build.

The LED is built in, up to 106 W and 11,660 lm across the full set, rated for about 50,000 hours, in warm white (3000 K) or cool white (6000 K). It runs on AC 90 to 260 V for even, bright light. It hardwires from the ceiling like any chandelier, and brackets are included if you would rather take it onto a wall. The suspension adjusts up to 1.5 m (4.9 ft), so the same piece works in a tall room and a standard one, and the canopy measures ∅10 cm (3.9″). Certified to UL, CCC, CE, CQC, EMC, FCC, GS, LVD, PSE, RoHS, SAA and VDE.

It holds a dining table, a kitchen island or an open living area, and it is equally at ease in a commercial room: an office, a cafe, a gallery, a reception. Dimming can be arranged before your order ships, and if your ceiling is sloped, tell us first. Write to info@clerachic.com on either count.

This fitting hangs from a ceiling outlet box and is wired into your mains supply. Work out your hanging height before you connect anything - it is far easier to set the drop with the wiring still loose than to redo it afterwards.

Before you start

• Mounting: the fitting secures to a standard ceiling outlet box. The bracket and fixings are in the box.
• Weight: check that your outlet box and ceiling can carry the fitting. Weights are listed in the Product Specifications above. A heavy chandelier may need a brace fitted between the joists.
• Hanging height: the supplied cord, chain or rod can be shortened. Over a dining table, a drop that leaves roughly 75 to 90 cm between the table top and the bottom of the shade suits most rooms.
• Ceiling type: every model suits a flat ceiling. Sloped-ceiling compatibility is stated per product in the Product Specifications above.
• Power: these fittings are hardwired. They do not plug into a socket.
• Dimming: models with a replaceable bulb can usually be dimmed with a compatible dimmer. Integrated LED models generally cannot.

Tools you may need

• Screwdriver
• Voltage tester
• Wire strippers
• Wire nuts or terminal connectors (supplied)
• Step ladder, and a second person for anything heavy or wide
• Drill, if you are fitting a new outlet box or bracing the ceiling

Installation

Turn the lighting circuit off at the consumer unit or breaker panel - the wall switch is not enough. Test at the ceiling outlet with a voltage tester and confirm the wires are dead.

Screw the supplied bracket to the ceiling outlet box with the screws provided. Tighten evenly and check that it sits flat and square; a bracket that is not level will show in the finished hang.

Adjust the cord, chain or rod to the drop you want before you make any electrical connection. Lock the length using the canopy adjuster or the grip inside the canopy. Where a cord is shortened, coil the surplus neatly inside the canopy rather than cutting it - that keeps the height adjustable later.

• Live to live: black, brown, or the terminal marked L
• Neutral to neutral: white, blue, or the terminal marked N
• Earth to earth: green, green-and-yellow, or bare, to the earth terminal or screw

Secure each connection with a connector and press the wiring gently up into the box. Nothing should be trapped between the canopy and the ceiling when you close it.

Lift the canopy or backplate onto the bracket and fasten it with the screws or decorative caps supplied. Work up to a firm fit rather than forcing it - decorative caps and plated threads strip easily.

Fit the bulb type and wattage listed in the Product Specifications above. Where several sockets share one shade, use identical bulbs so the colour and brightness match across the fitting.

Switch the circuit back on and test the light, including the dimmer if you have fitted one. Isolate the power again before re-opening anything.

Important tips

• Follow the wiring rules that apply where you live, and use a qualified electrician for high ceilings, sloped mounts or anything you are unsure of.
• Have someone hold a wide or heavy fitting while you make the connections. Do not let it hang on its wiring at any point.
• Clean glass and crystal with a dry, soft cloth. Do not spray cleaner onto a fitting that is wired in.
• Do not over-tighten decorative parts: they are finished, not structural.
