Gingko Chandelier Style I

Unlike single-fixture chandeliers that mount from one ceiling point, the 118.1" and 137" Style I configurations are structurally four independent light units spliced together into a single continuous composition. This has meaningful installation implications: the ceiling must accommodate four separate junction-box points — one for each spliced unit — spaced according to the fixture's length. You cannot power the composite fixture from a single junction box; the wiring across four spliced units requires distributed power delivery. For new construction, plan the four junction-box positions into the ceiling framing before drywall installation. For retrofit installations, this typically requires ceiling modification by a licensed electrician; we provide detailed mounting diagrams before order confirmation to help your contractor plan.

The Style I is designed for substantial vertical volumes. Minimum ceiling: 14 ft — allows 7 ft floor clearance under the fixture's lowest point. Recommended: 16 ft or higher — for staircase atriums, grand foyers, and double-height architectural applications. Below 12 ft: the Style I is not the correct specification — consider Style K (up to 47.2" H) or Style L (up to 118.1" H with round vertical drops sized to specific ceiling heights) instead.

78.7" — 8-10-seat rectangular dining tables (approximately 8-10 ft), double-height living rooms, primary bedrooms with 14-ft ceilings, mid-size double-height foyers. 98.4" — 10-seat rectangular dining, boutique restaurant private-dining, double-height dining rooms, three-story staircase applications. 118.1" — 12-seat formal dining, banquet-style residential applications, boutique-hotel dining rooms, grand foyers. 137" — grand hotel atriums, mega-ballrooms, restaurant flagship rooms, luxury retail flagship interiors. For dining tables: fixture length should be roughly 60-75% of table length.

All three offer taller drop configurations in the Ginkgo Series. Style L Model B — round vertical drops up to 118.1" H, for double-height foyers, primary bedrooms with 10-14-ft ceilings, statement dining rooms. Style J Tier 1 — linear with modest 20.5"-29.5" H drops but wider bulb density. Style J Tier 2 — oversized flagship with W dimension for grand hospitality applications. Style I (this fixture) — uniform 78.7" (6.5-ft) vertical drop across all four sizes; specifically for double-height ceilings, staircase atriums, and grand-foyer applications where the fixture is meant to fill vertical volume rather than descend above a surface.

Yes, at no extra charge. The default is Rose Gold — a warm pink-gold register that pairs particularly well with matte-white porcelain. Alternative finishes: Copper Gold (warmer classical), Nickel (cool neutral), Chrome (silver-modern), White (monochrome), Gold (traditional yellow), Black (architectural contemporary). Specify at checkout by leaving a note, or write to support@stuberlighting.com within 24 hours of order placement.

Yes — strongly recommended for all Style I configurations, particularly the composite 118.1" and 137" where the bulb count across four spliced units produces substantial output. The included LEDs are non-dimmable warm-white. Replace with dimmable G9 or E12 LEDs (matching your configuration's socket type — G9 for 78.7"/98.4"; E12 for 118.1"/137") and install a triac-compatible wall dimmer. At 40-60% brightness, the ceramic leaves catch light at their most atmospheric register.

Substantial coordination is required. Pre-installation: ceiling structural review by a qualified engineer; four junction-box points positioned and roughed-in at specified spacing before drywall (or ceiling modification for retrofit). Installation: the 118.1" requires 5-7 hours with a 2-person licensed installation team; the 137" flagship requires a full-day dedicated installation team. We provide detailed mounting diagrams before order confirmation and coordinate with your project's contractor throughout. Write to support@stuberlighting.com with your project brief before ordering.

Installation height and leaf count matter. For 78.7"/98.4": dust with a soft dry microfibre cloth every 6 months (requires ladder or lift access). For composite 118.1"/137" at grand-foyer and hospitality installations: quarterly cleaning coordinated with maintenance contractors using lift equipment. For accumulated residue, a lightly-damp cloth (water only) restores the finish; never use ammonia, glass cleaner, or abrasive sponges. The Rose Gold frame wipes with a dry microfibre cloth — avoid brass polish or metal cleaner.

Yes — the Style I is one of our specified fixtures for boutique hospitality projects with double-height architectural volumes. Trade pricing available; matched-batch porcelain coordination for multi-room installations; custom frame finishes; extended wire lengths at no extra charge. For composite 118.1" and 137" configurations, dedicated project coordination from initial specification through installation completion.
