Description

The large crystal chandelier rental is a twelve-light fixture. Twelve lamps is the number to plan around. It tells you both what the fixture can do and what it draws. Twelve sources spread through cut crystal give a lot of sparkle and a fair amount of usable light. So one of these over a table can carry an intimate room on its own.

Large or standard

We stock a smaller crystal chandelier as well. The choice is about ceiling height more than taste. Hang the large fixture where there is real height above the guests, such as a tent ridge or a stair landing. In a lower room the large fixture crowds the space and people duck under it. Then the smaller one is the better call.

Dimming is not optional

Twelve lamps at full output glare, and glare kills the effect the crystal is there for. A crystal chandelier rental therefore wants its own dimmed circuit. At around half output the crystal reads as sparkle rather than a bright spot. The rest of your lighting can then do its job. Ask for a dimmer when you add the fixture, not afterwards.

Hanging and power under a tent

The fixture hangs from the tent frame or the ridge at a single point. Plan the hang before the tent goes up. Each fixture also needs a circuit run to it. So the chandeliers belong in the same conversation as the power distribution rather than in the decor list. Give us the tent size and we will tell you where the hang points land.

Layering it with the rest of the light

A chandelier is accent light. Uplights on the tent wall, bistro strings over the floor and a pin spot on the cake all do different jobs. The chandelier does not replace any of them.
