Cupola Slch51630 Alabaster Dining Chandelier by Visual Comfort & Co

The Cupola 18-Light Alabaster Chandelier by Sean Lavin for Visual Comfort Modern is a statement fixture at 44.6 inches wide — designed for dining rooms, living rooms, and commercial spaces where ceiling height permits genuine presence. Eighteen domed alabaster optical elements sit within tapered metal shades, each diffusing integrated LED light to deliver 3,690 lumens at 3000K with 90 CRI. The result is a chandelier that reads as a light sculpture first and a functional fixture second, capable of filling a large room without glare or visual noise.

What distinguishes this chandelier is its commitment to flexibility and craft. Each of the 18 alabaster domes is factory-sourced for consistency, while the metal frame is available in Nightshade Black (matte, architectural) or Natural Brass (a living finish that develops patina over time). The 120V and 277V options, paired with compatible ELV/TRIAC or 0-10V dimming, make it equally at home in a high-end residential renovation or a boutique restaurant. Field-cuttable cables allow each pendant to be positioned independently, and unused canopy ports are plugged for a seamless appearance.

At 35.5 pounds and measuring 4.7 inches in height, the Cupola 18 makes a statement without dominating. The LED lifetime exceeds 50,000 hours, the 5-year warranty reflects Visual Comfort’s confidence in the fixture’s durability, and sloped ceiling compatibility up to 45 degrees means it adapts to challenging architectural conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I customize the hanging heights of individual pendants?
A: Yes — each pendant includes 12 feet of field-cuttable cable, allowing you to adjust the height of each individually. This flexibility makes it possible to create custom geometries or adapt to non-standard ceiling heights.

Q: Is the Natural Brass finish a living finish?
A: Yes — the Natural Brass will naturally patina and warm over time. This character development is intentional. A brass cleaner can restore the original shine if preferred.

Q: How does this fixture work with 277V dimming?
A: The 277V version uses 0-10V protocol (compatible with commercial dimmer systems) rather than ELV/TRIAC. Your electrician can confirm dimmer compatibility at installation.

Q: What are the unused canopy ports?
A: The Cupola 18 is designed to work with a multi-port canopy. Ports not being used for pendants are plugged to create a clean, seamless appearance.
