It starts with a little help from the best chandelier installation electrician in Hobe Sound Florida, Swink Electric.
Swink Electric is the best chandelier installation electrician in Hobe Sound Florida, ready to lend our decades of experience to your installation. Chandeliers have lit spaces since the 6th century.
People used them because one candle simply didn’t light up a room enough. However, we have moved on from candles as a light source unless we’re in an emergency or trying to relax in the tub after a long day.
Now, chandeliers come in different materials; some even use precious metals. A chandelier’s appearance is important, which is why people often focus on it. However, chandeliers are meant to serve a purpose.
We are the best chandelier installation electrician in Hobe Sound Florida, we are more focused on the functionality of your chandelier. That is why it is important to share a few tips on how to pick a chandelier.
The appearance is entirely up to you: which materials are used, how many arms, and any extras you may enjoy. Here’s how to factor all of that into the right chandelier for your space.
How to Choose the Right Chandelier
Did you know that chandeliers come in sizes? The size is not simply aesthetic. Instead, size determines how much light the chandelier provides, the electrical box weight limit, and the hanging height.
The best chandelier installation electrician in Hobe Sound Florida wants you to enjoy your chandelier’s appearance, but we also want it to do its job properly. Luckily, finding the right size for your chandelier is very simple.
Start by measuring the room’s length and width and add them together. The number you get is the chandelier’s diameter. For example, a 12×12 room will need a chandelier with a diameter of 24 inches.
This ensures the chandelier can throw light around the room, covering it evenly.
How Low Should a Chandelier Hang
Swink Electric is the best chandelier installation electrician in Hobe Sound Florida. You will not need to worry about how low the chandelier hangs, as we will hang it properly.
However, we feel it is important to explain why we’re doing what we’re doing. Our clients prefer to be kept in the light, not the dark. There is a common rule for chandeliers, though things may change depending on which room the chandelier is hanging in.
The going rule is that chandeliers should not hang lower than 7 feet above the ground. This means you can hang it higher, and you may need to if the ceilings are tall.
Simply put, we don’t want anyone walking under a chandelier and hitting their heads. However, if the chandelier is hanging above a table, like in a dining room, it should be 3 feet above the table. No one should walk on a dining table.
