There is a fairly wide range of Russian chandeliers on the domestic lighting market. They are made in a wide variety of styles.
What it is?
A chandelier is a lighting fixture placed in a room on the ceiling. It is designed to serve as the main lighting and replace daylight when needed. Such a product is usually placed in the center of the room and is one of the accents in the room. In Soviet times, chandeliers were usually made of crystal or glass. The devices had brass bases. The modern industry offers a wide range of products from a wide variety of materials.

Chandeliers from Russia can be divided into two main groups. They are suspended and overhead. The first type of product is suspended on a special hook provided in the ceiling structure. The chandelier can be placed in the place provided for by the building project. In apartments, this is usually the middle of the room. Appliances of the second type are attached to the ceiling with screws. Such a chandelier can be placed anywhere - regardless of the features of the ceiling.
Chandeliers also differ from each other in design:
- With one shade, here the lamps are hidden under the shade.
- Carob. Such a device consists of several tubes with lamps, on which separate shades are put on.
Russian chandeliers can be divided according to the type of lamps installed in them. There are the following main groups:
- LEDs. These are small bulbs that provide a bright light - and at the same time consume a minimum of electricity. In addition, such devices are durable. They are very economical, great for dark rooms where the light is on almost all the time.
- Halogen … These lamps are quite small, but bright at the same time. It is possible to use small shades. However, such lamps consume a large amount of electricity and burn out quickly.
- Conventional lamps. Such a device is equipped with a socket into which lamps with a base of a standard size are screwed. Energy-saving or LED samples can also be used, but in the form of an Ilyich bulb.
How to choose?
The choice of a domestically produced chandelier depends on the functions that the device must perform. The product can:
- Be the main lighting in the room, replace daylight.
- Play the role of the backlight. Here, devices provide additional lighting. With the help of such devices, you can create a mood in the room. Leaving only the backlight on, you can add romance to the atmosphere, add a touch of intimacy. Chandeliers are often used to illuminate an island in a kitchen or dining table.
The luminaire must correspond to the interior in which it is planned to fit.
If the device can still be included in the modern design of the classic look, then in the classics of innovative forms the lamps will not be able to be applied even by a fairly experienced designer.
When choosing a lamp, personal preference also plays an important role - do you prefer plafonds in the form of flowers or simple geometric shapes, you are a supporter of novelty - or do you prefer established forms. Choosing a chandelier for the room, it is worth immediately deciding about the number of lighting fixtures in the room. It is better to immediately purchase a complete set of devices so that they go well with each other, if possible, they are from the same series. Although in modern interior designs it is permissible to use different types of lighting fixtures.
It is necessary to find the optimal power. Even if you really like the device, but the light from it is not very bright, you should not buy such a lamp, since it will not cope with its functions.
E there are certain standards for indoor lighting. They are designed for a conventional incandescent lamp, but taking into account the correction factor, they can be easily converted to energy-saving light sources. For 1 sq. meter of a room that requires bright light (kitchen, living room) needs at least 20 watts. For rooms with medium lighting (bathroom, nursery) - 18 W per 1 sq. m. A room with dim light (bedroom) will need about 12 W per 1 sq. m.
You can purchase chandelier models that allow you to change the lighting power. This is done either by dividing the number of lampshades into switches, or by installing a dimmer, with which the power of the device will be regulated.
Color also plays an important role when choosing a lighting fixture. It should match the colors of the room and match the rest of the room. If you have light wood furniture, you do not need to buy a lamp with dark wood inserts. If the door handles are gold-plated, a chandelier with silver details will not work.
The size of the room must also be taken into account. In a small room with low ceilings, large chandeliers with low hanging elements should not be installed.
This will be inappropriate, as this device will visually "eat up" the space, and is inconvenient for the inhabitants of the apartment.
Designers often use a specific formula to calculate the diameter of a chandelier. It is equal to the perimeter of the room in centimeters, divided by 2000. For a room 10 m long and 3 m wide, you can choose a lighting fixture with a diameter of no more than 1.5 m. With the help of lighting fixtures, you can visually correct the proportions of your room. For example, using a horizontally elongated chandelier, you can move the walls apart. The appliance pulled down will reduce the height of the ceiling.
