Its the same as installing any other fixture. 2 can easily be done in a day with an experianced electrician.

You just have to be extra careful with crystal chandeliers, but they are no different from any other fixture.

True but damn, when u have to hang every single little crystal, it takes forever, but the outcome is amazing. I'll post pix later 2night. The electrical part was easy. Installing wasn't hard just time consuming...

Yea parents have somthing like that. They didnt install it though but the guy took awhile placing each crystal on it. Took awhile.


Anyone know how to clean somthing like this or do you have to remove everything to do it.

There is some stuff we sell at the place I work at that you spray on the crystals, and let it dry and it cleans the crystal. People say it works, haven't tried it myself though. I can get the name tomorrow night when I get to work.

it ended up being $900 cuz we bought it from India and the fixture itself isn't gold plated but brass, the crystals are 30% lead. The light that came with the house in the foyer was shit, so just gave a suggestion to my dad n he was like koo.

900, damn thats cheap.

Most of ours that size are at least 1500 +

Hell we got one small crystal chandelier in the store worth 30K

Oh, and the crystal cleaner is called Extend-a-Finish. It comes in a yellow spray bottle. Worst comes to worst and you can't find it, I can get you some.
