Candlestick or Candlestick: What is the difference?
When looking for ceiling light fixtures, you may be thinking of options like a chandelier. Once you’ve entered the world of chandeliers, you may also notice that some of these light fixtures are known as “chandeliers.” You may be wondering what is the difference between a chandelier and a chandelier. This guide will give you an overview of the differences between the two lamps.
What is a chandelier?
In short, a chandelier is defined as any ceiling fixture that features two or more arms with light sources. In general, they include a series of crystals or glasses that refract the light from the arms, thus illuminating the light. By definition, chandeliers are accepted to be a minimum of 12 inches in diameter.
What is a Chandeleta?
The main defining difference between a chandelier and a chandelier is the diameter size of the fixtures. While a chandelier must meet a minimum size of 12 inches in diameter, a chandelier is defined as one that ranges from 9 inches to 12 inches in diameter. Once these light fixtures get smaller than 9 inches, they are generally referred to as pendant lights.
Aside from size, a chandelier can be nearly identical to a chandelier with the same number of arms, lights, crystals, or other details; just on a smaller scale.
other similarities
In all seriousness, these lights can share a lot of different characteristics outside of size. Both can present two or more arms with two or more light sources. They can feature drum shades, cone shades, chandelier-style lights, scrollwork, crystals, and more.
Today, many manufacturers are creating identical versions of the same light in both sconces and sconces. This makes it easy for homeowners to find the right ceiling light for their space, based on the overall size of the room (or, in some cases, the dining room table).
You can also find chandeliers and sconces in a number of different styles, including contemporary, traditional, rustic, modern, shabby chic, romantic, and many, many more.
additional differences
It should also be noted that Japanese candlesticks may be marketed as “candlesticks.” When shopping for these particular lighting fixtures, be sure to take note of the size. Never assume that a lamp marked “chandelier” is the actual size of a chandelier. Always take note of the dimensions listed for the light fixture to ensure it is the correct size and type of fixture for your space.
How high should I hang my chandelier or chandelier?
Once you’ve found the right lamp, you’ll need to know how high (or low) to hang it. Fortunately, the general rules are exactly the same for both lamps. The chandelier or chandelier should hang approximately 30 inches from the bottom of the fixture to the top of the table.
For foyers or other spaces, you’ll want your lighting to hang at least 7 feet (about 84 inches) from the floor to the bottom of the ceiling light. This prevents you (and your guests) from tripping over it.
In short, the main difference between these two lights simply comes down to size.
