A theatrical Lighting Fixture is any unit used to throw light during a performance. Mostly these consist of different lights suspended on rails above the stage and audience. Different types of Lighting Fixtures are used to achieve different types of light and lighting effects.

Chandeliers:

Chandeliers are hanging light fixtures that add charm and beauty to any room. A chandelier is defined as a lamp, which is suspended from the ceiling either directly from a ceiling lamp outlet, or simply from a hook in the ceiling and then plugged into a common wall socket. Chandeliers use small, lower wattage bulbs that are usually shaped in the form of a candle flame, though chandeliers are not limited to small bulbs. There are often three or more light bulbs in one chandelier, giving off from 100 to 400 watts of total light.

Chandeliers can be used in nearly any room, from a fancy, formal dining room to a child’s bedroom or game room. The most popular chandeliers are the type with dangling cut glass crystals surrounding the bulbs, creating a beautiful spectrum of light. These more formal chandeliers are usually brass or gold plated, and will bring elegance and formality to the room in which they hang.

While chandeliers can be appropriate in any type of room, choosing the correct size is paramount. A giant chandelier will overcome a tiny room while a small chandelier hung over a long dining room table will look lost. In general, a smaller room with dimensions of 10 x 10 ft (3.05 x 3.05 m) would comfortably house a chandelier no more than 20 inches (50.8 cm) in diameter. A 12 x 12 ft (3.66 x 3.66 m) room will hold a chandelier up to 27 inches (68.58 cm) in diameter. An exceptionally large chandelier with a diameter of 36 inches (91.44 cm) or more should only be hung in a room that is 14x 14 ft (4.27 x 4.27 m) or larger.
