Nuvo Chandelier

A chandelier is a light fixture with a central body and several light branches that usually hang from a chain. Pendant lights also hang from the ceiling but are singular light fixtures that have no additional light branches.

Unlike a pendant light which usually is operated with a single light bulb, chandeliers contain multiple light bulbs that operate at once. Chandeliers are also typically suspended with a chain that is extended to support the fixture’s multiple branches, while pendant lighting can be suspended by a cord with a single light on the end.

NUVO chandelier lighting is also more versatile than pendant lights, as it can be used for ambient or task lighting depending on wattage and positioning. Different styles and finishes can provide an intricate, or a more modern look.

There are various types of chandelier lighting that range from very traditional to a modern, up to date look:

• Traditional chandelier types like candle and antler chandeliers are more rustic in nature and provide a more historic look to the original chandelier. These elegant models have electric lights that replicate the use of candles in the fixture.
• Modern chandelier styles can come in different shapes and structures to best fit the aesthetics of your home. A Glass intersection chandelier, for example, has a minimal look that fits well in contemporary space designs.

Chandelier light fixtures provide evenly spaced lighting while simultaneously being an attractive design piece for the room. By choosing a chandelier to illuminate your space, you eliminate the need for excess detail in other furnishings, as your NUVO chandelier will serve as a focal point for décor.

Furthermore, chandeliers are a great consideration for renovation of property, as an upgraded fixture can add increased value. NUVO chandeliers are made with high quality glass, metal and steel material that is guaranteed to be a selling point for your home.

Chandelier lighting can save space on your walls since it hangs from the ceiling, allowing you to preserve that space for other decorations.

Experts at NUVO recommend that the fixture be wiped down with a dry, soft cloth to remove minor dust and debris.

Glass shades can be cleaned with a mild soap and then dried with a soft cloth. To prevent any damage to the surface finish of the light, avoid using abrasive materials like scouring pads, powders, steel wool or abrasive paper.

Specific cleaning and assembly instructions will accompany your NUVO chandelier light fixture.

Yes, depending on the design and need for light in the area, a chandelier can be used for main source lighting or accent lighting.

Models such as the NUVO Crossroads series are good for main source lighting since they are larger in size and feature clear glass shades that allow for the most amount of light to pass through.

For main source lighting with a more traditional style, models such as SF76-444 could work best in providing large amounts of downward light that is best suited large gathering areas in your home.

Smaller fixtures such as model 76-445 are perfect for providing accent lighting to your space while adding contemporary style elements to the interior.

It is important to consider the position and size of your chandelier when preparing to mount the fixture.

Light installation experts suggest that you should avoid selecting a chandelier that is larger than the width of a table if this is your choice of placement. The fixture should be at a minimum of 12 inches narrower than the table itself to avoid lighting that may be too harsh or too warm.

Additionally, in a room that is 8 feet or higher, your chandelier should be mounted 30 – 34 inches over a table or other furnishings to distribute the light as evenly as possible.
