The room
Over the table, or in the middle of the living room
At 26.8 inches across, the 3-light covers a table for four to six without crowding the ceiling. The 5-light, at 30.7 inches, suits a table for six to eight or a larger living room. The shades throw light down and out, so the light falls on faces at the table.
In a living room it hangs at the centre and lights the whole room on its own. The 16.7 inch height suits a standard 8 or 9 foot ceiling.
