Searchlight Aikin 8 Light Chandelier - Cream, Gold & Glass

A Grand Cream and Gold Statement Chandelier

The Searchlight Aikin 8 Light Chandelier is the larger sibling in the Aikin family, pairing a cream and gold frame with clear glass crystal dressing across eight arms for a grander, more traditional chandelier look. This is a substantial fixture, measuring 74cm wide with an adjustable drop from 73cm up to a maximum height of 133cm, so it needs a room with real ceiling height to do it justice.

Materials and Finish

The frame is mild steel finished in cream and gold, dressed with clear glass crystal detailing.

How It Works

Each of the eight arms takes an E14 candle bulb (not included), and the fitting is dimmable when paired with dimmable bulbs. As a Class I fitting it needs an earth connection, so installation by a professional electrician is recommended. The height is adjustable to suit different ceiling heights.

Where It Works Best

Well suited to a living room, dining room, or bedroom with enough ceiling height to let its scale and crystal dressing stand out, and a striking option for a hallway with a high ceiling. Because it is a large fitting with a wide reach, measure your space before ordering to make sure it has room to hang properly.

Questions People Ask

How big is the Aikin 8 Light Chandelier?
It measures 74cm wide, with an adjustable drop that runs from 73cm up to a maximum height of 133cm, so it is worth measuring your ceiling height and the space around it before ordering.

Do I need an electrician to fit it?
Yes. It is a Class I fitting that needs an earth connection, so it should be installed by a qualified electrician, ideally one registered with NICEIC.

What bulbs does it use?
It takes 8 x E14 candle bulbs. These are not included, so you will need to buy them separately.

Is this chandelier dimmable?
Yes, as long as you fit dimmable E14 bulbs. It will not dim if you use standard bulbs that are not dimmable.

Will the crystal glass look exactly like the photos?
The clear glass crystal dressing reflects and catches light, so it looks noticeably different when lit compared to unlit, and photos or screens do not always capture the sparkle you will see in your own room.
