Tronic 5-Light Chandelier with Frosted Glass Shades, Black Metal Frame

Our review

This Tronic chandelier is a five-light fixture built around a black metal frame with gracefully curved arms, each holding a frosted glass shade. The frosted glass softens the light so it spreads rather than glares, which is what you want over a dining table, in a stairwell, or at the centre of a living room where people sit and look up. It suits anyone furnishing a room around a single focal light rather than a grid of downlights, and the black frame with glass reads as classic rather than trend-driven, so it should sit comfortably with both dark and light interiors.
Before buying, check the ceiling height and the drop you need, since a chandelier hangs into the room and can crowd a low ceiling or block a view in a small space. Measure the table or room centre it will hang above, and confirm your ceiling can take the weight and has a suitable fixing point. Decide whether you want it on a dimmer, which changes the mood considerably with five bulbs, and note that bulbs are not listed here, so check the fitting type and how many you will need to buy. Compare it with simpler pendant lights if you want less visual weight, or with multi-arm fixtures that use exposed bulbs if you prefer a brighter, more industrial look. Available on Sokonia.
