Does a chandelier from Groenensteyn provide adequate lighting?

Absolutely! Our chandeliers provide 360-degree lighting in any room, with sconces also beautifully illuminating walls. Plus, you can adjust the wattage and lumens of the lamp(s) to suit your needs. More watts and lumens mean a more powerful light source.

If you want the lighting to be a little softer, we recommend installing a dimmer. Especially in the evening, this makes the difference between an atmospheric ambience and no atmosphere. Discover the perfect balance between functionality and ambience with our versatile light fixtures.

Does a chandelier come with lighting?

Absolutely! At Groenensteyn, all of our chandeliers come with traditional light bulbs included. These are included as standard, so you can take immediate advantage of your new fixture. In addition, we offer the option to order additional LED lighting at an additional cost, for those who want to experience the benefits of LED.

This way, you always have the choice of equipping your chandelier with the right lighting according to your needs. At Groenensteyn, we strive to provide you with the perfect lighting solution.

Does a Groenensteyn chandelier use a lot of electricity?

Not if you choose efficient lighting. Power consumption depends on the number of light fixtures and the type of bulb you use. Our chandeliers offer flexibility, allowing you to choose between LED lights or traditional incandescent bulbs. LED bulbs consume only 3 to 10 watts, while incandescent bulbs fall between 15 and 35 watts.

For example, if you have a chandelier with 13 lights and you choose LED bulbs of 4 watts each, the chandelier will use only 52 watts per hour. Enjoy beautiful light without worrying about high energy costs.

How can a Groenensteyn chandelier be attached?

The method of fixing a Groenensteyn chandelier varies depending on the specific product. For wall lamps, installation is usually straightforward. For ceiling lamps, pendant lamps or chandeliers, it depends on the weight and the required mounting method.

To receive the best advice based on your specific situation, consult our expert staff. They will provide you with the right advice for fixing the chandelier in the most appropriate and safe manner. At Groenensteyn, we strive to make your installation process as hassle-free as possible.

Does my ceiling need to be reinforced for a Groenensteyn light fixture?

Your ceiling may need to be reinforced, depending on the weight and size of the chandelier you want to install.

Schönbern crystal, originating in Austria, is a high-quality crystal known for its clarity, brilliance and the beautiful spectrum of colors it creates.

By entrusting this responsibility to professionals, you can have peace of mind and be assured that your chandelier will function optimally.

Can I use a dimmer with a chandelier?

Yes, chandeliers can generally be used with a dimmer. This allows you to adjust the light intensity to create the desired atmosphere and ambiance. At Groenensteyn, we recommend the use of a dimmer as it contributes to a pleasant atmosphere. However, it is important to note that dimmers may vary between different suppliers and some dimmers may not be suitable for dimming LED lighting. We recommend checking compatibility when purchasing a dimmer to avoid any problems.

5. Maintenance & Warranty

How do you clean a light fixture from Groenensteyn?

Follow these simple steps to make your chandelier shine again. First, turn off the electricity to work safely. Fill a bucket with lukewarm water (about 35 degrees) and add 2 tablespoons of Dreft. Dip a microfiber cloth into the soapy water, wring it out and begin gently wiping the crystal from top to bottom. The warm soapy water and the Dreft will easily loosen dust and dirt, and the water will dry on its own.

The duration depends on the size of your chandelier, wall light or ceiling light, for example, but on average it takes about 1.5 hours for a chandelier. Note that in smoky or humid environments, more frequent cleaning may be necessary.

For me, cleaning is impossible, now what?
