SAMBA 2084 is a five-arm chandelier with a white lacquered frame and glossy gold details. Five curved arms spread from a central stem, each carrying a white shade shaped like a truncated cone, edged with gold trim at the top and bottom. The chandelier hangs on a gold chain beneath a white ceiling cup.
Size and where to hang it
The chandelier is 78 cm across and at most 83 cm tall including the chain. At that diameter it needs space around it: above a dining table, the table should ideally be wider or at least about as wide, with the lower edge of the shades 70–80 cm above the tabletop. In a living room, compare the 83 cm drop with your ceiling height so there is still comfortable headroom underneath.
The fitting weighs 3.4 kg. The supply cable runs along the chain to the ceiling cup, which houses the terminal block.
Bulbs and light
The chandelier has five E27 lampholders, and the manufacturer allows no more than 15 W in each. LED bulbs meet that limit — ordinary incandescent bulbs at their usual wattages exceed it. Bulbs are not included and are replaceable. Five LED bulbs equivalent to an old 60 W bulb give about 4000 lm together, enough for the main lighting of a room. You choose the light colour: 2700–3000 K is warm light that brings out the gold edging beneath the white shades.
The shades are open underneath, so most of the light falls downwards onto the table or floor below the chandelier.
Style and use
SAMBA is a classic-style chandelier: curved arms, conical shades with trim and a chain rather than a plain cable. The manufacturer intends it for indoor use. It suits a dining table in the dining room and works as the main light in a living room.
