Remyck is a three-arm chandelier by Alora Mood, distributed by Elstead Lighting. Three slim arms branch from a vertical stem, each ending in a cone shade of steel in a brushed gold finish, with a milky opal glass globe showing beneath it. The manufacturer says the collection draws on Japanese design: a simple form with strong triangular shades.
Size and hanging height
The arms span 96.5 cm and the fitting itself is 43.5 cm high. The overall drop is set between 68.6 and 168 cm with the supplied rods: three of 30.5 cm, one of 15.2 cm and one of 10.2 cm. Over a dining table the bottom of the shades usually hangs 70–80 cm above the top, which with a 75 cm table means roughly 145–155 cm above the floor — the drop range reaches that in rooms roughly 2.2 to 3.2 m high.
With a span of almost a metre, the chandelier suits a longer table; before buying, compare 96.5 cm with the length of your table top. It weighs 2.58 kg, or 3.78 kg boxed.
Light sources
The chandelier has three E27 sockets, each for a bulb of up to 60 W. No bulbs are supplied. The opal glass diffuses the light and hides the bulb, while the cones direct it down onto the table. You choose the colour yourself — over a table 2700–3000 K, a warm, slightly yellowish light, is the usual choice.
The manufacturer rates the fitting as compatible with dimmable lamps. It has no dimmer of its own, so dimming needs a dimmer switch in the circuit and three bulbs marked as dimmable.
Construction and installation
The frame and shades are steel, the diffusers opal glass. The fitting is for indoor use and is Class I, so it must be connected to an earth conductor. Supply voltage is 220–240 V, 50 Hz. Remyck in the same layout is also available in matte black.
