Opal Glass Chandeliers

The biggest advantage of opal glass is that it does not dazzle. With clear glass the bulb is directly visible and creates a bright spot; with opal glass the light spreads across the whole surface and no harsh shadows form. That is why opal glass chandeliers give comfortable light over a dining table, in a bedroom and in rooms with low ceilings. We explain the difference between glass types in our shade and glass guide.

Opal glass works with almost any metal tone. With a brass body it looks warm and classic, with matt black graphic and modern, and with nickel or chrome cooler. Single-globe pendants suit kitchen islands and hallways, while multi-arm and multi-globe chandeliers suit living and dining rooms. Our colour advisor can help you choose the finish.

Because opal glass holds back some of the light, you may need a slightly stronger bulb than with clear glass; warm white LED bulbs of 2700–3000 K show the colour of the glass at its most natural. Use our chandelier size calculator to match the diameter to your room. Our chandeliers are supplied without bulbs, and size and finish can be changed on request.
