How is a crystal chandelier installed?
The installation of a crystal chandelier depends on its size, weight and design. While smaller models can be hung by yourself, larger and heavier chandeliers often require professional installation.
For standard sized chandeliers, they are assembled according to the enclosed instructions and drawing. To assemble, all you need are common tools and a little bit of skill. The average time to assemble a 6-arm chandelier including wiring is around two hours.
What tools will you need?
🔧 Screwdriver, tension meter, pliers, ladder, gloves
Can the chandelier be installed by myself?
✅ YES, if it is light (up to 10-15 kg)
- Normal ceiling anchoring is sufficient.
- Connection to standard electrical wiring.
- Can be hung from an existing hook.
❌ OR EXPERT INSTALLATION REQUIRED if:
- The chandelier weighs more than 15 kg (or special anchoring is required).
- You need to connect a dimmer or multiple lighting circuits.
- The ceiling is not strong enough (reinforcement required).
- Installation is in a high or hard to reach area.
📌 Tip: If you are unsure, leave the installation to an electrician or professional, especially for large or luxury chandeliers.
Take a look at how crystal lighting installations come to life in architecturally exceptional spaces – from the interior of Prague's Máj department store, through a lighting installation for the historic exterior of Liberec City Hall, to private residences where light shapes the atmosphere and character of the space.
The video captures not only the final beauty of the lighting fixtures, but also the process behind it: technical calculations, construction designs, safety solutions for historic buildings, and the precise work of our installation team.
Each project is unique. Every detail matters. Every lighting fixture respects the space it was created for.
