Staircase Chandelier Modern 8-Light Spiral Crystal Pendant for High Ceiling Foyers

Staircase chandelier lighting has to fill vertical space, not just light a floor. This staircase chandelier addresses that with a spiral of eight K9 crystal pendants suspended from a matte black frame. The pendants can drop as far down as 59 inches, providing visual interest and illumination throughout the entire staircase, including the entry floor, the stairs themselves, and the upper-level landing. At 15.7 inches wide, it fits neatly within the confines of the stairwell without being overly bulky.

Staircase Chandelier Spiral Design with Precision-Cut K9 Crystal

The design features a turning line of light. The eight pendants that make up the spiral step down as you go up the stairs, and each pendant is topped with a precision-cut K9 crystal shade. Each of the crystal shades on this staircase chandelier was cut to provide clarity instead of being cast from a cheaper form of glass. Therefore, every one of these pendants will throw light both above and below the stairway in the same manner that a diamond will catch light from across a room.

• Precision-Cut K9 Shades: Every droplet shade is individually cut, which ensures each shade keeps its brilliant shine from the entry floor to the second-floor landing.
• Matte Black Frame: A matte black metal frame and canopy create a dark outline for the crystals, which will complement both minimalist and transitional staircases.
• Spiral Silhouette: The layout turns in such a way that it follows the shape of either a curved or straight staircase, so the fixture looks placed rather than hung.

Placing a Chandelier for High Ceiling Foyers and Two-Story Stairwells

A staircase chandelier is designed to hang in the empty space at the top of a set of stairs, and this one is built to fit that description perfectly: a 59-inch drop carries the lowest pendants into view from the front door, while the highest point of the spiral remains visible from the landing. If you have a two-story foyer or entryway, place the chandelier in the center of the opening formed by the stairwell, so the turning line can be read from each level.

For stairwell chandeliers, the 15.7-inch width is the other half of the fit. It leaves breathing room in a narrow stairwell where a wide fixture would crowd the railing line, and it still holds its own in a living room with a high ceiling when hung over a seating area.

Adjustable Height, Bulbs and Installation Details

No two stairwells share a ceiling height, so the cables adjust up to 59 inches, giving this long staircase chandelier the reach to set the drop so the spiral aligns with the angle of your staircase and the lowest pendant clears head height on the landing. As a chandelier for staircase high ceiling spaces, that adjustability is the difference between a fixture that floats and one that lands in the sightline.

The staircase chandelier can be installed on a flat ceiling with a solid black ceiling canopy, and some assembly is required before hanging. The chandelier operates at 110V and accommodates E26 medium base LED bulbs (up to 7W per bulb), which are not included with the product, so you may select the bulb that provides the desired level of illumination for your entryway. At 16 lb, it is relatively light given how far down it extends from the ceiling; however, the ceiling box must be rated for the fixture prior to installation.

Before you order:

Drop first: Adjust the cable, which can extend up to 59 inches, so the spiral follows the angle of your staircase and the lowest pendant does not hit anyone’s head.

Position: Position this staircase chandelier above the open well of the stairs, not over the first few stairs, so it can be seen from both floors.

Bulbs ready: Eight E26 LED bulbs (up to 7W per bulb) should be purchased and available for installation day; the bulbs are not included with your purchase.

Staircase Chandelier FAQ

Every order of this chandelier includes free shipping across the US, delivery in 9 to 25 business days, a 30-day return window on eligible items, and a 2-year warranty.

How high should the chandelier hang in a stairwell?

Set the drop of the adjustable cable anywhere up to 59 inches. Hang the staircase chandelier so the spiral follows the angle of the stairs, and make sure the lowest pendant stays clear of head height for anyone on the steps or the landing. In a two-story stairwell, the middle of the drop should sit where it can be seen from both floors.

Is 15.7 inches wide enough for a narrow staircase?

Yes, the slim profile of this staircase chandelier is the point. At 15.7 inches across, it fits stairwells where a wide fixture would crowd the railing, while the 59-inch spiral drop still fills the vertical space. Measure the width of your stairwell at the landing, and leave clearance on both sides before ordering.

What bulbs does it take, and are they included?

It is compatible with eight E26 medium base LED bulbs, up to 7W per bulb. Bulbs are not included, which allows you to select the appropriate brightness and color temperature for your entry lighting.

Which stair and interior styles does the black finish suit?

The matte black finish of the frame fits comfortably into minimalist and transitional interiors — the clean-lined look shared by most modern chandeliers for staircase settings — and the dark outline sets off wood treads, white walls and metal railings equally well. If your staircase mixes traditional details, the crystal shades keep the look from turning stark.

How do I clean the crystal shades?

Turn off the light and allow the bulbs to cool, then wipe each K9 crystal shade on the staircase chandelier with a soft, dry cloth. The shades are precision-cut, and gentle dusting keeps the edges throwing light the way they should; avoid abrasive cleaners, which can dull the crystal and the matte black finish.
