Chandeliers offer homeowners options in decor, size and style in addition to lighting.  Indeed, the selection of chandelier light fixtures available today for foyers, living rooms,  dining room and family rooms, among other  living spaces are plentiful.  One aspect of chandeliers relates to the lighting component.   This  brief article will discuss four aspects of chandelier lighting consumers may wish to consider prior to purchasing a chandelier light.

(1)  Number of lights on the chandelier:  Chandelier lighting offers many designs with different numbers of lights on the lighting fixture.  For example, some chandelier light fixtures  may have three lights while others may have ten lights.  The number of lights on the chandelier will affect the light emitted by the lighting fixture.

(2)  Number of tiers on the chandelier:  Some chandeliers are designed to have one tier of lights, while others are designed to have more than one tier of lights.  Again, this factor will impact the light emitted by the chandelier as well as the amount of energy consumed by the chandelier lights. 

(3)  Efficiency rating:  Some chandeliers are rated as energy efficient.  What this means is that the chandelier uses less energy to provide lighting.  Energy efficient light fixtures can help consumers use less energy and consequently save on energy bills.

(4) Dimmer switches:  Consumers may also wish to consider installing a compatible dimmer switch to help control the intensity of light emitted by the chandelier.  Dimmer switches allow consumers to use different degrees of lighting.  For example, the homeowner may wish to use dim light to create a relaxing atmosphere, or use bright light for general lighting of the living space.  Dimmer switches allow better control of the intensity of light emitted by the chandelier at any one time.
